--- title: Approve Spend Limit Increase Request url: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/python/beta/organization/spend_limits/increase_requests/approve --- # Approve Spend Limit Increase Request `beta.organization.spend_limits.increase_requests.approve(spend_limit_increase_request_id, **kwargs) -> IncreaseRequestApproveResponse` **POST** `/v1/organizations/spend_limit_increase_requests/{spend_limit_increase_request_id}/approve` Approve a pending spend limit increase request. Writes a per-user spend limit at `amount` for the requester and transitions the request to `approved`. `period` defaults to the period the member was blocked on. Anthropic emails the requester unless `suppress_notification` is set. ## Parameters - `spend_limit_increase_request_id: str` (path parameter) ID of the spend limit increase request. - `amount: str` New per-user spend limit as a non-negative integer decimal string (minor units). - `period: Optional[BetaSpendLimitPeriod]` - `"daily"` - `"monthly"` - `"weekly"` - `suppress_notification: Optional[bool]` ## Returns - `class IncreaseRequestApproveResponse` - `type: Literal["spend_limit_increase_request"]` default: spend_limit_increase_request - `id: str` - `actor: Actor` - `class BetaSpendLimitUserActor` A user within the organization. `name` and `email_address` are null when the underlying account is unavailable or has been deleted; `deleted` is true only for deleted accounts. - `type: Literal["user_actor"]` Actor type. Always `user_actor`. default: user_actor - `deleted: bool` True only when the underlying account has been deleted. default: false - `email_address: Optional[str]` The user's email address. Null when the account is unavailable or has been deleted. - `name: Optional[str]` The user's current display name. Null when the account is unavailable, has been deleted, or has no name set. - `user_id: str` Tagged ID of the user. - `class BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor` A scoped Admin API key acting on behalf of the organization. - `type: Literal["scoped_api_key_actor"]` default: scoped_api_key_actor - `scoped_api_key_id: str` - `created_at: datetime` format: date-time - `period: BetaSpendLimitPeriod` - `"daily"` - `"monthly"` - `"weekly"` - `resolved_at: Optional[datetime]` format: date-time - `resolved_by: Optional[ResolvedBy]` - `class BetaSpendLimitUserActor` A user within the organization. `name` and `email_address` are null when the underlying account is unavailable or has been deleted; `deleted` is true only for deleted accounts. - `class BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor` A scoped Admin API key acting on behalf of the organization. - `spend_limit: BetaSpendLimit` A configured spend limit: a cap on metered spend for one scope and period. - `type: Literal["spend_limit"]` Object type. Always `spend_limit`. default: spend_limit - `id: str` Unique tagged ID of the spend limit (`spl_...`). - `amount: Optional[str]` Limit amount as a non-negative integer decimal string in the minor unit of `currency` (cents for USD): "50000" is $500.00. `null` means no numeric cap is configured at this scope — see the effective report for whether a limit applies. - `created_at: datetime` RFC 3339 datetime at which the spend limit was created. format: date-time - `currency: str` ISO 4217 code of the organization's billing currency; the unit for `amount`. - `is_enabled: bool` Read-only. `false` when extra usage is switched off for this organization (`organization` limit) or for this member (`user` limit); `amount` is kept and applies again when it's switched back on. Always `true` for other limits. - `period: BetaSpendLimitPeriod` Length of the window the limit resets over. `amount` caps spend within each period. - `scope: Scope` What the limit applies to. A tagged union on `type`; each variant carries the identifier for its scope. - `class BetaSpendLimitUserScope` Scope selecting a single member of the organization. - `type: Literal["user"]` Scope type. Always `user` for this scope. default: user - `user_id: str` Tagged ID of the member the spend limit applies to. - `class BetaSpendLimitSeatTierScope` - `type: Literal["seat_tier"]` default: seat_tier - `seat_tier: str` - `class BetaSpendLimitRBACGroupScope` - `type: Literal["rbac_group"]` default: rbac_group - `rbac_group_id: str` - `class BetaSpendLimitOrganizationServiceScope` - `type: Literal["organization_service"]` default: organization_service - `service: str` - `class BetaSpendLimitOrganizationScope` - `type: Literal["organization"]` default: organization - `class BetaSpendLimitWorkspaceScope` Scope selecting one workspace of a Claude Console organization. - `type: Literal["workspace"]` Scope type. Always `workspace` for this scope. default: workspace - `workspace_id: str` Tagged ID of the workspace the spend limit applies to. - `updated_at: datetime` RFC 3339 datetime at which the spend limit was last modified. format: date-time - `spend_summary: Optional[BetaSpendSummary]` Per-member effective-limit report row (`GET /spend_limits/effective`). - `actor: Actor` - `class BetaSpendLimitUserActor` A user within the organization. `name` and `email_address` are null when the underlying account is unavailable or has been deleted; `deleted` is true only for deleted accounts. - `class BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor` A scoped Admin API key acting on behalf of the organization. - `amount: Optional[str]` Effective limit amount as a non-negative integer decimal string in the minor unit of `currency` (cents for USD). `null` means no limit applies for this row's `period` — each period resolves independently, so another period may still cap this member. - `currency: str` ISO 4217 code of the organization's billing currency; the unit for `amount` and `period_to_date_spend`. - `period: BetaSpendLimitPeriod` Period this row's effective limit and spend are reported for. - `period_to_date_spend: str` The member's spend so far in the current period, as a non-negative decimal string in the minor unit of `currency` (cents for USD). May carry fractional minor units up to three decimal places (e.g. `"12050.5"`) — metered usage is not rounded to whole cents. Reads as `"0"` when the spend reading is temporarily unavailable. - `scope: Scope` - `class BetaSpendLimitUserScope` Scope selecting a single member of the organization. - `class BetaSpendLimitSeatTierScope` - `class BetaSpendLimitRBACGroupScope` - `class BetaSpendLimitOrganizationServiceScope` - `class BetaSpendLimitOrganizationScope` - `class BetaSpendLimitWorkspaceScope` Scope selecting one workspace of a Claude Console organization. - `source: Source` - `class BetaSpendLimitUserScope` Scope selecting a single member of the organization. - `class BetaSpendLimitSeatTierScope` - `class BetaSpendLimitRBACGroupScope` - `class BetaSpendLimitOrganizationServiceScope` - `class BetaSpendLimitOrganizationScope` - `class BetaSpendLimitWorkspaceScope` Scope selecting one workspace of a Claude Console organization. - `spend_limit_id: str` - `status: BetaSpendLimitIncreaseRequestStatus` - `"approved"` - `"denied"` - `"pending"` ## Example ```python import os from anthropic import Anthropic client = Anthropic( api_key=os.environ.get( "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" ), # This is the default and can be omitted ) response = client.beta.organization.spend_limits.increase_requests.approve( spend_limit_increase_request_id="spend_limit_increase_request_id", amount="50000", ) print(response.id) ``` ### Response (200) ```json { "id": "id", "actor": { "deleted": true, "email_address": "email_address", "name": "name", "type": "user_actor", "user_id": "user_01WCz1FkmYMm4gnmykNKUu3Q" }, "created_at": "2019-12-27T18:11:19.117Z", "period": "daily", "resolved_at": "2019-12-27T18:11:19.117Z", "resolved_by": { "deleted": true, "email_address": "email_address", "name": "name", "type": "user_actor", "user_id": "user_01WCz1FkmYMm4gnmykNKUu3Q" }, "spend_limit": { "id": "id", "amount": "50000", "created_at": "2019-12-27T18:11:19.117Z", "currency": "USD", "is_enabled": true, "period": "daily", "scope": { "type": "user", "user_id": "user_01WCz1FkmYMm4gnmykNKUu3Q" }, "type": "spend_limit", "updated_at": "2019-12-27T18:11:19.117Z" }, "spend_summary": { "actor": { "deleted": true, "email_address": "email_address", "name": "name", "type": "user_actor", "user_id": "user_01WCz1FkmYMm4gnmykNKUu3Q" }, "amount": "50000", "currency": "USD", "period": "daily", "period_to_date_spend": "12050.5", "scope": { "type": "user", "user_id": "user_01WCz1FkmYMm4gnmykNKUu3Q" }, "source": { "type": "user", "user_id": "user_01WCz1FkmYMm4gnmykNKUu3Q" }, "spend_limit_id": "spend_limit_id" }, "status": "approved", "type": "spend_limit_increase_request" } ```
