How to use portkey in claude code gh action?

[Amansaxena001]

We want to use the portkey key instead of directly using the anthropic key. I don't see any key where this can be setup. Please let me know if there are any sols around this

At the moment, I don't believe the GitHub Action exposes a dedicated input for configuring a custom gateway such as Portkey. The documented authentication methods are primarily an Anthropic API key, OAuth, Bedrock, Vertex AI, or Workload Identity Federation. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

That said, if you're using a recent version of Claude Code, you can usually achieve this by passing the appropriate environment variables through the action's settings or claude_env configuration. For Portkey, this typically means configuring:

• ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.portkey.ai
• ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=<your-portkey-api-key>
• ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS with the required Portkey headers (such as x-portkey-api-key and your provider slug)

Portkey has documentation showing this configuration pattern for Claude Code. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

If you're specifically asking for a first-class portkey_api_key or base_url input on the GitHub Action itself, I don't think that's currently supported. It would be a useful enhancement to expose those as native action inputs instead of requiring users to configure environment variables.
