Introduction<\/h2>\n

\"Cloud.IA\"<\/p>\n

Claude.IA is a powerful cloud-native intelligence and automation platform that offers REST APIs for accessing AI models, data processing pipelines, and automation workflows. In this guide, we will demonstrate how to connect to Claude\u00a0using the Zappysys ODBC Driver for REST APIs with API key authentication.<\/p>\n

Whether you are using Claude for intelligent document processing, data enrichment, or automated workflows, you will learn how to configure ODBC connectivity without writing custom code. Zappysys ODBC REST driver handles all the complexity, allowing you to query Claude\u00a0APIs using standard SQL and connect from any ODBC-compatible application.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Windows operating system (32-bit or 64-bit).<\/li>\n
  2. Zappysys ODBC Driver for REST APIs is installed on your system.<\/li>\n
  3. An ODBC-compatible client application (Excel, Power BI, Tableau, Python, etc.).<\/li>\n
  4. Claude’s account has API access enabled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Steps<\/h2>\n

    Generate an API Key in Claude<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Log in to your Cloude.IA account settings.<\/a><\/li>\n
    2. Navigate to Settings<\/strong> > API Keys<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    3. Click Create Key<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    4. Enter the workspace name (optional).<\/li>\n
    5. Enter a descriptive name for the API key.<\/li>\n
    6. Press Add<\/strong> to generate the token Key.<\/span><\/li>\n
    7. Save the API key in a secure location; you won’t be able to view it again.\n
    8. Set Up Billing<\/strong> (required): add a payment method via the Billing Settings page<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Creating a new ODBC DSN using ZappySys JSON Driver<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Search for ODBC<\/strong> in the Windows Start menu and open the ODBC Data Source Administrator<\/strong>.
        \n        \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      2. In the User DSN<\/strong> or System DSN<\/strong> tab, click Add<\/strong> to create a new data source.<\/li>\n
      3. In the ODBC Data Source Setup<\/strong> window, select the ZappySys JSON Driver<\/strong> and click Continue<\/strong>.
        \n        \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \u00a0Configure the Connection and API Settings<\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. In the Base URL<\/strong> field, enter:\n
          https:\/\/api.anthropic.com\/v1<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
        2. Select HTTP <\/strong>as the connection type, then\u00a0click it to configure it.<\/li>\n
        3. Select Static Token\/API Key<\/strong> as the Authentication Type<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        4. Enter your Claude API key in the API Key<\/strong> field.<\/li>\n
        5. In the Header Name<\/strong>, enter x-api-key<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        6. In the OAuth Scheme<\/strong>, use none.<\/strong><\/li>\n
        7. Click OK<\/strong> to save the configuration.<\/li>\n
        8. Set up the HTTP<\/strong> Request Method to POST.<\/strong><\/li>\n
        9. Use this JSON as the body:\n
          {\r\n  \"model\": \"claude-sonnet-4-6\",\r\n  \"max_tokens\": 1024,\r\n  \"messages\": [\r\n    {\r\n      \"role\": \"user\",\r\n      \"content\": \"{YOUR-Message}\"\r\n    }\r\n  ]\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
          <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        10. In the Body content type, <\/strong>select\u00a0 JSON(application\/json)<\/span><\/li>\n
        11. Inside the header, add: anthropic-version: 2023-06-01<\/span><\/code><\/li>\n
        12. You can use the Array filter<\/strong> to get the object you need, and you can use $.messages[*].content<\/span>\u00a0 to get only the message.<\/li>\n
        13. Test the connection to check everything is working fine\n
          \"\"<\/a>
          Claude – JSON ODBC Driver configuration<\/p><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          Preview the data<\/h3>\n
            \n
          1. Once your ODBC DSN is configured, go to the preview tab.<\/li>\n
          2. Select the table you want to use.<\/li>\n
          3. Press the Preview data <\/strong>button to see the result.\n
            \"\"<\/a>
            Claude – JSON ODBC Driver result<\/p><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            <\/p>\n
            Conclusion<\/h2>\n
