The Compliance API is only available on Claude Enterprise. Claude Team has no API to read chats from. For Team, use Claude Cowork monitoring and Velatir for Desktop instead.
What It Brings In
Claude chats
Each chat becomes a session. Each prompt and its response become traces with their text, attributed to the person who started the chat.
The last 30 days
Chats from the 30 days before you connected, imported in the background.
Before You Start
A Velatir Administrator
Only an organisation Administrator can connect, reconnect, or disconnect. See Roles & permissions.
A Claude owner who can create the key
The primary owner of your Claude organisation, or an organisation owner. The primary owner turns the Compliance API on first. A key the primary owner creates covers the parent organisation and every linked one. A key an organisation owner creates covers their own organisation only.
A Compliance Access Key
Created in claude.ai under Organization settings → API. Its key starts with
sk-ant-api01-.Create the Key
In claude.ai, open Organization settings → API and create a Compliance Access Key with these two scopes:
Do not add
delete:compliance_user_data. Velatir never deletes anything.
Other Anthropic keys do not work. A Claude Console Admin API key (sk-ant-admin01-) only reads the Activity Feed, and a Claude API key (sk-ant-api03-) cannot reach the Compliance API at all. Velatir tells you which one you pasted.
Connect Claude Enterprise
Find Anthropic in the Inventory
In Velatir, open Inventory from the sidebar. If there is no Anthropic card, select Declare service(s) and declare Claude. The card then shows Declared · not connected.
Start the connection
Select Connect on the Anthropic card. The dialog lists what Velatir will pull.
Name it and paste the key
Give the connection a name, for example Anthropic · Production, and paste the Compliance Access Key. Select Connect.
Velatir checks the key
Velatir asks Anthropic for one record with each scope. When both work, the key is saved and the card shows the connection. If the key is refused, the dialog says why, and nothing is saved.
After You Connect
Chats are dated when each prompt was sent and each answer finished, not when Velatir read them, so imported chats fill in Sessions and Insights from the most recent day backwards. Running the import again adds nothing twice.
The Anthropic card shows no seats or plans. This connector brings conversations, not figures.
Managing the Connection
Rotate the key
Rotate the key
Select Reconnect on the connection and paste a new Compliance Access Key. The old key keeps working until the new one is verified, and everything already imported is kept.
Disconnect
Disconnect
Select Disconnect on the Anthropic card and confirm. Velatir deletes the key and stops reading straight away. Everything already imported stays in Velatir. Delete the key in claude.ai as well if you do not plan to reconnect.
Revoke the key in claude.ai
Revoke the key in claude.ai
Deleting or deactivating the key in claude.ai stops Velatir’s access. Velatir checks its access every 15 minutes, so the connection shows Action needed within that time. Everything already imported stays.
Troubleshooting
This key is missing a scope
This key is missing a scope
The key was created without
read:compliance_activities, read:compliance_user_data, or both. Scopes cannot be added to an existing key. Create a new Compliance Access Key with both, and paste that one.This is not a Compliance Access Key
This is not a Compliance Access Key
The key is a Claude API key or a Console Admin API key. Create a Compliance Access Key in claude.ai under Organization settings → API.
Anthropic refused the request
Anthropic refused the request
The Compliance API is probably turned off for your Claude organisation. Ask the primary owner to turn it on, then connect again.
A chat is missing
A chat is missing
New chats appear within about 15 minutes. A chat deleted in claude.ai before Velatir read it has no content left, so it is skipped. Chats Velatir already imported stay when they are deleted in claude.ai.
