Claude Api

基本消息

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic()  # reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from env

message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-0",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Explain async/await in Python"}
    ]
)
print(message.content[0].text)

流式传输

with client.messages.stream(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-0",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about coding"}]
) as stream:
    for text in stream.text_stream:
        print(text, end="", flush=True)

系统提示词

message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-0",
    max_tokens=1024,
    system="You are a senior Python developer. Be concise.",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Review this function"}]
)

TypeScript SDK

安装

npm install @anthropic-ai/sdk

基本消息

import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk";

const client = new Anthropic(); // reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from env

const message = await client.messages.create({
  model: "claude-sonnet-4-0",
  max_tokens: 1024,
  messages: [
    { role: "user", content: "Explain async/await in TypeScript" }
  ],
});
console.log(message.content[0].text);

流式传输

const stream = client.messages.stream({
  model: "claude-sonnet-4-0",
  max_tokens: 1024,
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a haiku" }],
});

for await (const event of stream) {
  if (event.type === "content_block_delta" && event.delta.type === "text_delta") {
    process.stdout.write(event.delta.text);
  }
}

工具使用

定义工具并让 Claude 调用它们：

tools = [
    {
        "name": "get_weather",
        "description": "Get current weather for a location",
        "input_schema": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "location": {"type": "string", "description": "City name"},
                "unit": {"type": "string", "enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"]}
            },
            "required": ["location"]
        }
    }
]

message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-0",
    max_tokens=1024,
    tools=tools,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in SF?"}]
)

# Handle tool use response
for block in message.content:
    if block.type == "tool_use":
        # Execute the tool with block.input
        result = get_weather(**block.input)
        # Send result back
        follow_up = client.messages.create(
            model="claude-sonnet-4-0",
            max_tokens=1024,
            tools=tools,
            messages=[
                {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in SF?"},
                {"role": "assistant", "content": message.content},
                {"role": "user", "content": [
                    {"type": "tool_result", "tool_use_id": block.id, "content": str(result)}
                ]}
            ]
        )

视觉功能

发送图像进行分析：

import base64

with open("diagram.png", "rb") as f:
    image_data = base64.standard_b64encode(f.read()).decode("utf-8")

message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-0",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "source": {"type": "base64", "media_type": "image/png", "data": image_data}},
            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this diagram"}
        ]
    }]
)

扩展思考

针对复杂推理任务：

message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-0",
    max_tokens=16000,
    thinking={
        "type": "enabled",
        "budget_tokens": 10000
    },
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Solve this math problem step by step..."}]
)

for block in message.content:
    if block.type == "thinking":
        print(f"Thinking: {block.thinking}")
    elif block.type == "text":
        print(f"Answer: {block.text}")

提示词缓存

缓存大型系统提示词或上下文以降低成本：

message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-0",
    max_tokens=1024,
    system=[
        {"type": "text", "text": large_system_prompt, "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"}}
    ],
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Question about the cached context"}]
)
# Check cache usage
print(f"Cache read: {message.usage.cache_read_input_tokens}")
print(f"Cache creation: {message.usage.cache_creation_input_tokens}")

批量 API

以 50% 的成本降低异步处理大量数据：

import time

batch = client.messages.batches.create(
    requests=[
        {
            "custom_id": f"request-{i}",
            "params": {
                "model": "claude-sonnet-4-0",
                "max_tokens": 1024,
                "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
            }
        }
        for i, prompt in enumerate(prompts)
    ]
)

# Poll for completion
while True:
    status = client.messages.batches.retrieve(batch.id)
    if status.processing_status == "ended":
        break
    time.sleep(30)

# Get results
for result in client.messages.batches.results(batch.id):
    print(result.result.message.content[0].text)

Claude Agent SDK

构建多步骤智能体：

# Note: Agent SDK API surface may change — check official docs
import anthropic

# Define tools as functions
tools = [{
    "name": "search_codebase",
    "description": "Search the codebase for relevant code",
    "input_schema": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {"query": {"type": "string"}},
        "required": ["query"]
    }
}]

# Run an agentic loop with tool use
client = anthropic.Anthropic()
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Review the auth module for security issues"}]

while True:
    response = client.messages.create(
        model="claude-sonnet-4-0",
        max_tokens=4096,
        tools=tools,
        messages=messages,
    )
    if response.stop_reason == "end_turn":
        break
    # Handle tool calls and continue the loop
    messages.append({"role": "assistant", "content": response.content})
    # ... execute tools and append tool_result messages
