Get Anthropic And OpenAI API Keys

API keys are secret passwords that let this WordPress site make billable requests to a provider. Create a separate key for this site when possible. Do not reuse a personal key shared with unrelated applications.

Provider screens change over time, so use the linked official provider documentation if a menu label differs from the steps below.

Anthropic Key For Text #

1. Create or sign in to the Anthropic Console.
2. Complete the organization and billing setup. Anthropic API usage is separate from a Claude web subscription.
3. Purchase usage credit or configure the billing arrangement required by the account.
4. Open the API Keys area and create a key for this WordPress site or workspace.
5. Copy the key when it is shown and store it securely until it is saved in the plugin.

The Anthropic Console is where organizations create API keys, configure billing, manage team access, and review usage.

OpenAI Key For Images #

1. Create or sign in to the OpenAI API Platform.
2. Create or select an API project for this site.
3. Configure billing and project spending limits.
4. Create a project API key with permission to use the image generation API.
5. Copy the key when it is shown and store it securely until it is saved in the plugin.

OpenAI API billing is separate from a ChatGPT subscription. Prefer a project key intended for ordinary API requests; do not enter an organization Admin API key into the plugin.

Protect The Keys #

• Do not place keys in form fields, prompts, posts, screenshots, support tickets, or source control.
• Give each site only the provider permissions it needs.
• Set provider-side budgets and alerts.
• Replace a key immediately if it is exposed.
• Test the replacement in the plugin before revoking an old working key when uninterrupted generation is important.
