DigiUsher DocumentationConnecting an Anthropic account
Overview
To onboard your Anthropic (Claude) organization to DigiUsher, you create an Admin API key in the Claude Console and provide it to DigiUsher. This document describes exactly what access is requested, why it is needed, and what credential to provide.
An organization is required
This feature is not available for individual accounts. You need an Anthropic organization with at least one member holding the Admin role. If you are on an individual account, set up an organization first in the Anthopic Console.
Summary of Access Required
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Identity | Organization Admin API key (prefix sk-ant-admin) — programmatic access only |
| Access level | Read-only — organization cost and usage reports |
| Data | Daily cost data |
| Scope | Organization-wide |
| Capability | What It Provides |
|---|---|
| Billing data | Cost analytics, chargeback/showback, budgeting, forecasting, anomaly detection |
| Workspace attribution | Per-workspace cost allocation across your organization |
| Model & token breakdown | Cost split by model, token type, context window, and service tier |
DigiUsher cannot send messages, consume tokens, or create, modify, or delete any resources in your Anthropic organization.
Prerequisites
Information to Gather
| Item | How to Find | DigiUsher Field |
|---|---|---|
| Admin API Key | Claude Console > Organization Settings > Admin Keys > Create Admin Key (shown once at creation — store securely) | admin_api_key |
Roles Required by the Person Performing Setup
| Role / Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Admin role on the Anthropic organization | Only organization members with the Admin role can provision Admin API keys in the Claude Console. |
Network & Email Access (For Regulated Environments)
If your organization restricts outbound internet access or email domains, ensure the following are in place before starting:
- Domain allowlist: Add
*.digiusher.comto your network/firewall allowlist so that users in your organization can access the DigiUsher platform from their browsers. - Email allowlist: Add
digiusher.comas an approved sender domain in your email security gateway. DigiUsher sends onboarding confirmations, alerts, and reports from@digiusher.comaddresses.
Setup
Confirm Organization & Admin Access
The Admin API operates at the organization level, so you must be working within an organization and hold the Admin role.
- Sign in to the Claude Console.
- Navigate to Settings > Organization and confirm you are in an organization (not an individual account).
- Confirm your member role is Admin. If it is not, ask an existing organization Admin to either grant you the Admin role or perform the next step on your behalf.
Individual accounts
If you do not see an organization, create one under Console → Settings → Organization before continuing. Admin API keys cannot be created on individual accounts.
Create an Admin API Key
Create a dedicated Admin API key for DigiUsher. This key is solely used in a read-only manner.
- In the Claude Console, select Admin Keys in the left navigation.
- Click Create Admin Key.
- Give it a recognizable name, e.g.
digiusher-cost-reader. - Copy the generated key value — it starts with
sk-ant-admin.
Save your credential
The Admin API key is shown only once at creation and cannot be retrieved again. Copy and store it securely — you will enter it into DigiUsher in the next section.
Connect in DigiUsher
After completing the steps above, enter the following into DigiUsher to complete the connection:
| Field | Where to Find |
|---|---|
| Connection Name | Any label you prefer (e.g. Anthropic Production) |
| Admin API Key | The sk-ant-admin... key created in Step 2 |
When you connect, DigiUsher validates the key, derives your organization ID, and discovers your workspaces automatically. The first sync backfills roughly the last 31 days of cost data; after that, DigiUsher ingests new cost data daily.
Verification Checklist
- Working within an Anthropic organization (not an individual account)
- You hold the Admin role on the organization
- Admin API key created in the Claude Console with prefix
sk-ant-admin - Admin API key saved securely
- Connection details entered in DigiUsher
-
*.digiusher.comallowlisted in your network/firewall (if applicable) -
digiusher.comallowlisted as an approved sender domain in your email security gateway (if applicable)
Security
What DigiUsher CAN Access (Read-Only)
- Organization-level cost reports
- Workspace metadata needed to attribute costs to the correct workspace
What DigiUsher CANNOT Do
- Send messages or consume tokens against your organization
- Create, modify, or delete API keys, workspaces, or members
- Access message content, prompts, or completions
- View or modify billing settings, payment methods, or rate limits
- Make purchases or any changes to your account
The Admin API key is stored encrypted at rest and is never returned in DigiUsher API responses.
Monitoring
Review the Admin Keys in your Claude Console under Admin Keys to confirm which keys exist and when they were last used. Remove any keys you no longer recognize.
Credential Rotation
- In the Claude Console, go to Admin Keys and click Create Admin Key to generate a new key.
- Update the credential in DigiUsher immediately.
- Delete the old Admin Key from the Console.
Avoid ingestion gaps
Always create the new key and update it in DigiUsher before deleting the old one to avoid an interruption in data ingestion.
Revocation
Delete the Admin API key in the Claude Console under Admin Keys. This immediately invalidates the key and stops all access. DigiUsher will no longer be able to ingest cost data until a new key is provided.
Troubleshooting
Invalid API key or insufficient permissions
- Confirm the key starts with
sk-ant-admin— a standard API key (prefixsk-ant-api) will not work. - Confirm the key was created by a member with the Admin role and that it has not been deleted in the Console.
- Re-create the key in the Console and re-enter it in DigiUsher.
No cost data appearing
- If your organization has had no Claude API usage in the period, there will be no cost data to show.
Admin API unavailable
- The Admin API is not available for individual accounts. Create an organization under Console → Settings → Organization and retry with an Admin API key from that organization.
