News

We've tried to provide the answers to the most common questions in these docs. However, if you need further technical support using Claude, the Anthropic API, or any of our products, you may reach our support team at [support.anthropic.com](https://support.anthropic.com).

Getting help

Claude is a highly performant, trustworthy, and intelligent AI platform built by Anthropic. Claude excels at tasks involving language, reasoning, analysis, coding, and more.

Overview

Welcome to Claude

Let’s learn how to use the Anthropic API to build with Claude.

Quickstart

Claude is a family of [highly performant and intelligent AI models](/en/docs/about-claude/models) built by Anthropic. While Claude is powerful and extensible, it’s also the most trustworthy and reliable AI available. It follows critical protocols, makes fewer mistakes, and is resistant to jailbreaks—allowing [enterprise customers](https://www.anthropic.com/customers) to build the safest AI-powered applications at scale.

Intro to Claude

Use cases overview

Claude excels at processing, understanding, and recognizing patterns in text, images, and data. These capabilities make Claude especially powerful for classification tasks.  

Classification

Screening user input before it reaches your main language model allows you to prevent the processing or output of harmful, offensive, or irrelevant content, saving both computational resources and potential damage to your brand reputation.

Content moderation

This guide walks through how to harness Claude's advanced natural language understanding capabilities to classify customer support tickets at scale based on customer intent, urgency, prioritization, customer profile, and more.

Ticket routing

Claude is a family of state-of-the-art large language models developed by Anthropic. This guide introduces our models and compares their performance with legacy models.

Long context tips

Long context prompting tips

Claude excels in a wide range of text-based tasks. Claude has been trained to ingest code, prose, and other natural language inputs, and provide text outputs in response.

Text generation

Text embeddings are numerical representations of text that enable measuring semantic similarity. This guide introduces embeddings, their applications, and how to use embedding models for tasks like search, recommendations, and anomaly detection.

Embeddings

The [Claude for Sheets extension](https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/claude%5Ffor%5Fsheets/909417792257) integrates Claude into Google Sheets, allowing you to execute interactions with Claude directly in cells.

Google Sheets add-on

The Claude 3 family of models comes with new vision capabilities that allow Claude to understand and analyze images, opening up exciting possibilities for multimodal interaction.

The [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/dashboard) features an **Evaluation tool** that allows you to test your prompts under various scenarios.

Using the Evaluation Tool

These concepts are not unique to Anthropic’s language models, but we present a brief summary of key terms below.

Getting started

Anthropic services live at a fixed range of IP addresses. You can add these to your firewall to open the minimum amount of surface area for egress traffic when accessing the Anthropic API and Console. These ranges will not change without notice.

IP addresses

When making API requests, you must send an `anthropic-version` request header. For example, `anthropic-version: 2023-06-01`. If you are using our [client libraries](/en/api/client-libraries), this is handled for you automatically.

Versions

Errors

To mitigate against misuse and manage capacity on our API, we have implemented limits on how much an organization can use the Claude API.

Rate limits

We provide libraries in Python and Typescript that make it easier to work with the Anthropic API.

Client SDKs

Here are the countries, regions, and territories we can currently support access from:

Supported regions

Create a Message.

Send a structured list of input messages with text and/or image content, and the model will generate the next message in the conversation.

The Messages API can be used for either single queries or stateless multi-turn conversations.

Create a Message

Streaming Messages

Request and response examples for the Messages API

[Legacy] Create a Text Completion.

The Text Completions API is a legacy API. We recommend using the [Messages API](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/messages) going forward.

Future models and features will not be compatible with Text Completions. See our [migration guide](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/migrating-from-text-completions-to-messages) for guidance in migrating from Text Completions to Messages.
