FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate my Claude API application to Opus 4.7?

Migrate Claude API applications to Opus 4.7 by updating the Anthropic SDK model ID conventions, replacing deprecated parameters, tuning prompts for breaking changes, and managing beta headers for production deployment.

What programming languages does the Anthropic SDK support for Claude API development?

The Anthropic SDK supports Claude API development across Python, TypeScript, Java, Go, Ruby, C#, PHP, and cURL, providing complete code examples and best practices for each language environment.

How do I enable prompt caching when building Claude API apps?

Enable prompt caching in Claude API apps by applying version-specific Anthropic SDK syntax, configuring the correct beta headers, and following optimization patterns for structured outputs and context compaction.

Can I use tool use and streaming together with the Claude API?

Yes, the Claude API supports combining tool use patterns with streaming, batch processing, and Managed Agents by adhering to exact model ID conventions and version-specific SDK syntax for production deployment.

What is the best way to handle errors and debug Claude API applications?

The best way to debug Claude API applications is using language-specific Anthropic SDK guidance to validate exact model IDs, check beta header management, and resolve errors during streaming, batch processing, or tool use execution.

Do I need beta headers to use Managed Agents with the Claude API?

Yes, beta header management is required for production deployment of Claude API features like Managed Agents, prompt caching, and structured outputs, alongside strict adherence to version-specific Anthropic SDK syntax.
