Creating an Anthropic Account

Creating an Anthropic API Key

  • Log into your Anthropic account and navigate to the API section.
  • Create an API key following their guidelines. Check Anthropic’s API documentation for more details.

Setting the Anthropic API Key in .Renviron

To modify the .Renviron file:

require(usethis)
edit_r_environ()

For a persistent setting, add the following line to .Renviron, replacing "<APIKEY>" with your actual Anthropic API key:

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="<APIKEY>"

Save the file and restart your R session for the changes to take effect.

Caution: Ensure .Renviron is not exposed if using version control systems.
