Anthropic provider setup

Zorveus natively supports the Anthropic wire protocol (POST /v1/messages, POST /v1/messages/count_tokens), allowing you to use official Anthropic SDKs directly or route Claude models through standard OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

Native Anthropic SDK integration

Point official Anthropic SDK clients to https://api.zorveus.com using your Zorveus API key:

# pip install anthropic
import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
    base_url="https://api.zorveus.com",
    api_key="zrv_your_api_key",
)

response = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in one sentence."}
    ],
)

print(response.content[0].text)

Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) setup

You can supply your organization's Anthropic API key to pay Anthropic directly while Zorveus manages user allowances and attribution.

• Provider ID: anthropic
• Secret kind: api_key
• Default wildcard policy: anthropic/*

Manage provider credentials in the Zorveus dashboard under Provider Credentials. Application code does not call a provider-credential API. Use a Zorveus API key for inference, not the upstream provider secret.

How Zorveus processes Anthropic calls

1. Authentication and limits: Validates the API key (x-api-key: zrv_... or Authorization: Bearer zrv_...) and confirms user allowances.
2. Credential injection: When BYOK is configured, Zorveus securely decrypts and injects your Anthropic key. If a key encounters rate limits or quota exhaustion, Zorveus automatically fails over across backup credentials or system routes.
3. Usage settlement: The gateway calculates input/output tokens and settles cost against the organization or connected user wallet.
