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

The Claude API integrates via cross-language SDKs by calling client.messages.create with a user message. This enables streaming, multi-turn conversations, and agent workflows using Python, TypeScript, Java, Go, Ruby, C#, PHP, or cURL.

Does the Claude API support streaming responses and structured outputs?

The Claude API supports streaming responses and structured outputs natively. These features enable real-time data processing and enforce specific data formats for reliable machine-readable application results.

Can I use tool use and file handling when building AI apps with Claude?

You can use tool use and file handling when building AI apps with Claude. The API supports server-side tools and a files API to enable complex agent workflows and document processing alongside multi-turn conversations.

What is prompt caching in the Claude API and when should I use it?

Prompt caching in the Claude API stores context to reduce processing overhead for repeated prompts. Use it during multi-turn conversations or agent workflows to optimize latency and reduce computational costs.

How do I handle errors and implement adaptive thinking with Claude SDKs?

Error handling and adaptive thinking are implemented through language-specific Claude SDKs. These SDKs provide built-in mechanisms to manage API exceptions and dynamically adjust reasoning depth for complex agent tasks.

Are there limitations when using batching and MCP with the Claude API?

Batching and MCP integrate with the Claude API to handle bulk requests and external context. Limitations depend on endpoint rate limits and the specific language SDK implementation used for your application.
