Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented authentication behavior.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Misleading approaches:
- Regenerating the key; the key is valid, the header is missing.
Other error fragments:
- anthropic-workspace-id header must be a valid workspace ID.
- Workspace `<id>` not found.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/authentication (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Docs quote the 400 missing-header message, the 'must be a valid workspace ID' 400, and 404 'Workspace `<id>` not found.' for unknown or inaccessible workspaces; single-workspace keys don't need the header.
Search phrasings: anthropic-workspace-id is required when authenticating with an identity-linked API key; Workspace not found anthropic api 404
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
Problem details
- Observed symptom
- A new user/service-account API key fails every request although the key is valid; or a correct-looking workspace id returns 404.
- Context
- Product: Anthropic Claude API Component: identity-linked (multi-workspace) API keys Operation: any API request with a key not scoped to one workspace Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown HTTP status: 400, 404 Trigger: Identity-linked keys are not bound to a workspace, so each request must carry anthropic-workspace-id; malformed id -> 400; unknown workspace or no access for the key's user/service account -> 404 (same as unknown).

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Anthropic API] 400 'anthropic-workspace-id is required when authenticating with an identity-linked API key' (and 404 'Workspace `<id>` not found.')
Recommended action: Send anthropic-workspace-id: wrkspc_... on every request (SDK default_headers / extra_headers); verify the identity has access to that workspace; WIF selects the workspace at token exchange instead.
Option: Add the workspace header [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Anthropic Claude API / identity-linked (multi-workspace) API keys
Steps:
1. Look up the workspace id (wrkspc_...) in Console
2. Set default header anthropic-workspace-id on the client
3. If 404, grant the key's user/service account access to that workspace
Expected: Request accepted / failure becomes diagnosable
