Hi all,

I hope someone can help. I am just trying to get the AI Terminal working but I keep getting API error issues. Below is what message I was given by the AI. However there is no options for API keys where it says and if I do create an API key it doesnt connect or reference it.

1. **Get your API key** from the LimaCharlie web UI:

2. **Configure it** — depending on your setup, either:

What is the correct way of getting this to work?

Thank you.

Hi Mohammed,

I’m not sure I follow what you tried (I don’t see the messages you mention at the beginning).

By trying to get AI Terminal work, I assume you mean you are in LimaCharlie web app, and want to access AI Terminal. When you do so, you have two options to authenticate:

1. with subscription (Claude Pro/Max) option - this takes you through OAuth flow
2. with API Key - this is a key you can generate on [Anthropic platform](https://platform.claude.com/settings/keys) settings page.

Is any of these the flow you are trying to get working?
