Claude AI and Make.com

I’m trying to integrate Claude AI into a Make.com scenario to summarize a YouTube video transcript. I’ve set up an HTTP module with the Bearer token and Claude API settings, but I’m receiving a 401 Unauthorized error. I need help identifying the issue with the authentication or configuration for Claude’s API in Make.com.

Thanks!

Hi @Pete_Bragansa,

If you run into a 401 Unauthorized error, there is only one thing you can do. Fix the authorization.

This error is a client-side error, the credentials you are using are wrong. Follow these steps to set up the connection with Claude: https://www.make.com/en/help/ai-in-make/anthropic-claude#connect-anthropic-claude-to-make-2431740

Cheers,

Authentification is not the same as Authorization.

=>Authentication: confirms that users are who they say they are
=>Authorization: gives those users permission to access a resource.

Example: An Authorization error with Google services. It’s possible to login (authentication works). But you can only access “gmail”, not “drive”. Solution: Add “drive” to the list of permitted services.

Hope this helps.

PS: Unfortunately, the HTTP error codes are confusing:

  • 401 Unauthorized error is an authentication error, not an authorization error.

May I ask you why you choose to use the HTTP module with the Bearer token instead of using the Claude AI module?
