title: Open WebUI Anthropic API
description: 'REST API exposed by a self-hosted Open WebUI instance. Endpoints include an
OpenAI-compatible chat completions surface, an Anthropic-compatible messages
endpoint, and a passthrough proxy for native Ollama endpoints. Authentication
uses a Bearer token (Open WebUI session token or a per-user API key); each
API key inherits the permissions of the user who created it.
