Anthropic Claude API

In this setup I connect OpenClaw to Claude through Anthropic’s API, which is what actually powers the assistant’s responses. I also recommend adding enough credit up front (I start with $40) so you don’t hit token limits mid-setup and wonder why the bot stopped responding.

Pros

+Reliable API access to Claude for powering OpenClaw conversations
+Easy to generate and manage API keys in the console
+Higher tiers help avoid setup interruptions from low token limits

Cons

-Requires billing setup and prepaid credit before you can use it smoothly
-API keys are shown once, so you must store them securely
