Twenty-five at a time
Submissions are capped at twenty-five topics. A larger batch could time out partway through after the calls had already been paid for, which is a bad way to learn about a limit.
Home / Anthropic API for WordPress
Run the Anthropic API from your own WordPress site
This page is about the Anthropic account: funding it, what a batch run saves, and the two jobs Anthropic is particularly worth pointing at. If you are here to choose between models, Claude for WordPress covers the model list and what happens when one is retired.
You need a funded account, not a subscription
Anthropic has no free tier for API access. The plugin needs a key from the Anthropic console on an account with credit on it, and that is a separate product from a Claude.ai subscription on a separate bill. Paying for the consumer app does not produce a key, and it is the single most common setup problem we see.
If you would rather not fund an account to try the plugin, start on Gemini or NVIDIA NIM instead — both have a free tier, and the provider guide sets out what each one's terms actually permit. You can move to Anthropic later without reinstalling anything.
Batch generation
Roughly half the per-token price, if you can wait
Bulk Generate has an optional async mode that submits the work through Anthropic's Message Batches API rather than as ordinary requests. Anthropic prices batched tokens at about half the standard rate, and that saving reaches you directly because we are not in the billing path.
Nothing left open
A background check finishes the batch. You are not holding a browser tab open while a hundred articles are written.
The trade is latency
Batches are asynchronous by design. If you need one article now, use ordinary generation; batch mode is for a queue you are happy to collect later.
Anthropic as the second opinion
The fact-check pass can run on a different provider from the one that wrote the article. That is the point of it: a model grading its own output is a weaker check than a model that has no stake in the text.
Leave the fact-check provider on automatic and the plugin picks any provider you hold a key for that is not the drafter. Set it explicitly to Anthropic and every article gets checked there regardless of who wrote it. The same applies in reverse — draft on Anthropic and have something else check it.
It can look at the picture before using it
Stock image search matches on words, which is how an article about database migration ends up illustrated with a stock photo of a handshake. The optional vision check sends the candidate image to a model that can actually see it and asks whether it depicts the subject.
Anthropic's models accept images, so a configured Anthropic key can run this check. It is off by default, it costs one extra call per candidate image, and it fails open: if no vision-capable model is configured, image selection carries on as before rather than blocking the run.
What it costs, and who can see it
Anthropic bills you at its own published rates. We add nothing, take no share, and never see the invoice. Rates differ by an order of magnitude between the small and large models, so the model you pick matters more to your bill than anything in our pricing does.
Two things make that figure knowable rather than a surprise. The cost calculator estimates a per-article figure from current model rates before you commit, and once articles are running the plugin records tokens in, tokens out and an estimated cost for every call, grouped by the article that caused it. Attempts that failed after consuming tokens are included, because they were billed too.
Where the key lives
Encrypted in your own WordPress database, never rendered back into a form field, and never transmitted to us. It can be defined as a constant in wp-config.php instead, which keeps it out of the database entirely and out of any database backup you hand to someone else.
Requests go from your server straight to Anthropic. We do not proxy them, so no copy of your drafts exists on our infrastructure. What Anthropic then retains is governed by Anthropic's terms, which are authoritative; ours cannot speak for them.
