## **Step 1: Create a Connection**

Economize integrates with the Anthropic account using the Admin API through the [Usage and Cost API](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/usage-cost-api).

1. Sign in to the [Anthropic console](https://console.anthropic.com/dashboard).
2. In the left sidebar, under **Manage**, choose **API keys**.
3. Click **Admin keys**, then hit **+ Create Admin Key**.
4. Enter **Economize** as the key name and click **Add**.
5. Copy the newly created key. Admin keys start with `sk-ant-admin`.
