Using in Claude Code

Claude Code can connect to APIAny.AI through environment variables or local configuration files. It is useful for terminal, editor, and automated development workflows.

Prerequisites

Claude Code is installed.
You have created an API key in the APIAny.AI dashboard.
You have selected a model ID.

Install

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Configure with settings.json

Add this to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://apiany.ai",
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "sk-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "claude-sonnet-4-6",
    "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC": "1"
  }
}

Restart Claude Code after saving. You can also test with temporary environment variables:

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://apiany.ai"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="claude-sonnet-4-6"

Step 1

Troubleshooting

401 or authentication errors

Make sure the API key is copied completely, has no extra spaces, and is enabled in the APIAny.AI dashboard.

The model does not appear in the app

Enter the model ID manually and confirm it is available in the model catalog. Some tools do not fetch model lists automatically.

Which Base URL should I use?

OpenAI-compatible settings usually use https://apiany.ai/v1; Claude-compatible settings usually use https://apiany.ai; tools that ask for a full endpoint use https://apiany.ai/v1/chat/completions.
