Anthropic SDK Patterns

Overview

Production patterns for the @claude-ai/sdk (TypeScript) and anthropic (Python) SDKs.

Client Configuration

Instructions

Step 1: TypeScript

import Anthropic from '@claude-ai/sdk';

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

// Full configuration
const client = new Anthropic({
  apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,   // default: env var
  maxRetries: 3,                            // default: 2
  timeout: 60_000,                          // default: 10 minutes
  baseURL: 'https://api.anthropic.com',     // override for proxies
  defaultHeaders: {                         // custom headers
    'claude-beta': 'prompt-caching-2024-07-31',
  },
});

Step 2: Python

import anthropic

# Sync client
client = anthropic.Anthropic()

# Async client
client = anthropic.AsyncAnthropic()

# Full configuration
client = anthropic.Anthropic(
    api_key=os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"],
    max_retries=3,
    timeout=60.0,
    base_url="https://api.anthropic.com",
    default_headers={"claude-beta": "prompt-caching-2024-07-31"},
)
