BYOK — Anthropic setup

Plug your Anthropic API key into Niyra. Two minutes, AES-256 at rest, unlocks Apex / Opus 4 / Fable 5.

What you need

  • An Anthropic account at console.anthropic.com.
  • A live API key with budget set.
  • Pro plan or higher on Niyra.

Steps

  1. console.anthropic.com → Settings → API Keys → Create Key.
  2. Name it niyra-byok (anything works, but you'll thank yourself when rotating).
  3. Copy the key (only shown once).
  4. Niyra: Settings → BYOK → Anthropic → paste key → Save.
  5. Hit Test. You should get a green check within 2 seconds.

What it unlocks

  • Apex mode (Opus 4 / Fable 5) per conversation.
  • All Sonnet calls run on your account when BYOK is active for the convo.
  • Your Niyra credits stop ticking for LLM in those convos.

Rotation

When you rotate:

  1. Create new key in console.
  2. Replace in Niyra's BYOK panel.
  3. Wait ~60s for in-flight requests to drain.
  4. Disable / delete old key in console.

Spending caps

Set a monthly cap in the Anthropic console. Niyra respects it — when you're near the cap, the conversation pauses with a clear message instead of silently failing.

FAQ

What tier do I need?
Tier 3 unlocks Opus / Fable 5. Tier 1 is fine for Sonnet-only BYOK. Anthropic's tier docs explain rate limits.
Can I rotate the key?
Yes. Save the new key in the BYOK panel; the old one is overwritten in place.
