The Anthropic TypeScript SDK provides a dedicated client for integrating Claude models into TypeScript applications. Install @anthropic-ai/sdk, configure the client with your API key, and use typed methods to create messages, handle streaming, and manage tool use with strong type safety and comprehensive error handling.

Yes, the TypeScript SDK supports building agents that implement tool use. Define tools with typed parameters, pass them to Claude, handle tool calls in your application logic, and iterate on multi-turn conversations. The SDK provides event-based streaming and async iteration for seamless agent workflows.

Stream responses using the TypeScript SDK's event-based streaming and async iteration patterns. Create a message with stream=true, iterate over typed events, and process tokens as they arrive. The SDK handles connection management, retry logic, and timeout configurations automatically.

The TypeScript SDK covers batch processing and file uploads in beta. It provides methods for submitting batches of requests and uploading files, with token usage reporting, clear error hierarchies, and robust retry configurations for production reliability.

No special prior experience is required. The TypeScript SDK emphasizes type safety, clear error hierarchies, and comprehensive error handling to guide integration. Start with basic message creation, gradually adopt streaming and tool use, and leverage typed parameters to catch errors early.

The TypeScript SDK provides clear error hierarchies and robust retry and timeout configurations. Errors are categorized by type, and built-in retry logic handles transient failures. You can customize timeout and retry behavior per request based on your application's requirements.
