How the Anthropic Connection works

The Anthropic connection uses an Admin API Key to gather cost and usage data for your organization. In CloudZero you can view, track, and forecast your Anthropic costs, broken down by project, model, operation, and more.

After you create your Connection, at the time of the next data ingestion, you will see your Anthropic costs and usage throughout the CloudZero platform, including in Explorer and Analytics.
