v2 |
A practical guide to building with Anthropic's API and official SDKs, including messages, tools, vision, streaming, and production operations.
Anthropic's API is now a core building block for many production AI products. Teams need more than basic examples to ship safely.
This track focuses on:
- reliable messages API usage across SDKs
- tool-use patterns for real integrations
- multimodal and streaming UX workflows
- production controls for latency, cost, and reliability
- Python SDK repo:
anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python - Python SDK version in source:
0.79.0(released asv0.79.0) - TypeScript SDK version in source:
0.74.0(release tagsdk-v0.74.0) - docs and platform entrypoint:
docs.anthropic.com - API capabilities covered here: messages, tools, vision, streaming, batching, and production best practices
