FAQPage Schema

How do I use the Claude API for streaming responses in Python or TypeScript?▼

The Claude API supports tool integration by allowing you to define external functions within your Python or TypeScript SDK calls, enabling the model to search knowledge bases or execute specific tasks during a conversation.

Can I pass images to the Claude API for vision capabilities?▼

To optimize Claude API costs, you can implement prompt caching to reuse context and utilize the Batches API for processing large volumes of asynchronous requests efficiently.

Does the Claude API support extended thinking for complex reasoning tasks?▼

The Batches API in the Claude SDK allows you to process large volumes of asynchronous requests efficiently, reducing costs by handling non-real-time workloads outside of standard interactive streams.

How do I define external functions for tool use in the Claude API?▼

The Anthropic SDK provides patterns for handling Claude API responses in TypeScript, covering standard Messages API interactions, streaming, and parsing tool use outputs effectively.
