Hi, I am getting connection error. I have tried URL with both /v1/ and without it. Getting connection error in both the cases.

I have also tried different model but getting same error.

So, I replicated the code on local using https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/openai-sdk#error-message-compatibility guidelines and it is working on local.

Claude API Docs

OpenAI SDK compatibility

Anthropic provides a compatibility layer that enables you to use the OpenAI SDK to test the Claude API. With a few code changes, you can quickly evaluate Anthropic model capabilities.

So, I also downloaded the zip file from scrimba and add the env variables directly in code bypassing vite.config file and it works.
