API Key issue

[antangible]

Hi, I added my Anthropic API key in a .env file

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=my_api_key

but doesn't work.

I get this console error message

Error in Claude API call: Error: Could not resolve authentication method. Expected either apiKey or authToken to be set. Or for one of the "X-Api-Key" or "Authorization" headers to be explicitly omitted

What am I wrong?

Hi there,

I'm not actually using .env in the project right now (though I plan to) - you'll need to follow these instructions instead https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/docs/quickstart-guide#step-3-optional-set-up-your-api-key

should be as simple as changing the line in server.js to this

const anthropic = new Anthropic({
  apiKey: process.env['ANTHROPIC_API_KEY']
});

PR2 solves this by adding .env

should be as simple as changing the line in server.js to this

const anthropic = new Anthropic({
  apiKey: process.env['ANTHROPIC_API_KEY']
});

still not working

[user24]

works for me in latest version - or rather, I get a different error complaining that 12345 is an invalid key, because I haven't got a real key yet - but it proves that the env var hooks up correctly at least.

.env

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=12345

server.js

const anthropic = new Anthropic({ apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY });

you may need to npm start after changing the .env value or code.

What system are you using?

I added the API key in both .env file and server.js but this is what i get.

seems like the issue is with not enough credit on your key, rather than a bug with this code.

I think this is resolved now, so closing. Thanks @user24 for the support :-)
