Unofficial community list for Claude API usage. Not affiliated with Anthropic. All trademarks belong to their owners.
A curated list for claude api usage in both senses: getting started with the Claude API through the Console, and tracking cost and usage once you are running. Only pages that the top-ranking sources for the query link to are included, which keeps the list honest and short. The claude.ai usage settings page is listed under Related with a warning, because it is the page most people confuse with API reporting.
