SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provide developers with a clear path to build Claude-enabled applications using the Claude API and official SDKs.

Core Features & Use Cases

Unified Claude access to API and SDKs across languages (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, Ruby, PHP, C#, etc.).
Tooling & streaming: supports tool usage, thinking, compaction, memory tools, and memory storage integration.
Guidance & use cases: model selection, surface types (single call, workflow, agent), and best-practice prompts.
Files & prompts: prompt caching, system prompts, and files API integration for richer workflows.

Quick Start

Start with Claude Opus 4.6, send a simple user message to the model, and read the resulting text blocks in the response.

FAQPage Schema

How do I integrate the Claude API using Python or TypeScript SDKs?▼

You can integrate the Claude API by installing the official SDK for your language, configuring authentication, and sending a simple user message to models like Claude Opus to receive text blocks in the response.

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

The Claude API SDK supports multiple programming languages including Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, Ruby, PHP, and C#. This multi-language support allows developers to build Claude-enabled applications within their existing tech stacks.

Does the Claude API support streaming responses and tool usage?▼

Yes, the Claude API supports streaming responses and tool usage. Developers can implement streaming for real-time output and configure tool use to let Claude interact with external functions and APIs.

How do I use prompt caching and the files API with Claude?▼

You can use prompt caching to optimize costs and latency for repeated prompts, and integrate the files API to upload and reference documents directly within your Claude workflow for richer context.

What is the best way to select a Claude model for single calls versus agent workflows?▼

Model selection depends on your surface type—single call, workflow, or agent. You should choose a model based on task complexity, balancing speed and capability for simple calls versus complex multi-step agent workflows.

Can I build multi-step agent workflows with the Claude API?▼

Yes, you can build multi-step agent workflows with the Claude API. The SDKs provide guidance on surface types—single call, workflow, and agent—along with best-practice prompts and memory tools for complex agentic behavior.
