當建立訊息時，您可以設定 "stream": true 來使用伺服器發送事件 (SSE) 增量式串流回應。

​
使用 SDK 進行串流

我們的 Python 和 TypeScript SDK 提供多種串流方式。Python SDK 同時支援同步和非同步串流。詳情請參閱各 SDK 的文檔。

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic()

with client.messages.stream(
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
    model="claude-opus-4-20250514",
) as stream:
  for text in stream.text_stream:
      print(text, end="", flush=True)

​
事件類型

每個伺服器發送事件包含一個命名的事件類型和相關的 JSON 資料。每個事件將使用 SSE 事件名稱（例如 event: message_stop），並在其資料中包含匹配的事件 type。

每個串流使用以下事件流程：

  1. message_start：包含一個帶有空 content 的 Message 物件。
  2. 一系列內容區塊，每個區塊都有 content_block_start、一個或多個 content_block_delta 事件，以及一個 content_block_stop 事件。每個內容區塊都有一個 index，對應於其在最終 Message content 陣列中的索引。
  3. 一個或多個 message_delta 事件，表示最終 Message 物件的頂層變更。
  4. 最後的 message_stop 事件。

message_delta 事件中 usage 欄位顯示的 token 計數是累積的。

​
Ping 事件

事件串流也可能包含任意數量的 ping 事件。

​
錯誤事件

我們偶爾可能會在事件串流中發送錯誤。例如，在高使用量期間，您可能會收到 overloaded_error，這在非串流環境中通常對應於 HTTP 529：

錯誤範例
event: error
data: {"type": "error", "error": {"type": "overloaded_error", "message": "Overloaded"}}

​
其他事件

根據我們的版本政策，我們可能會添加新的事件類型，您的程式碼應該能夠優雅地處理未知的事件類型。

​
內容區塊增量類型

每個 content_block_delta 事件包含一個 delta 類型，用於更新給定 index 處的 content 區塊。

​
文字增量

text 內容區塊增量如下所示：

文字增量
event: content_block_delta
data: {"type": "content_block_delta","index": 0,"delta": {"type": "text_delta", "text": "ello frien"}}

​
輸入 JSON 增量

tool_use 內容區塊的增量對應於區塊的 input 欄位的更新。為了支援最大的粒度，增量是 部分 JSON 字串，而最終的 tool_use.input 始終是一個 物件。

您可以累積字串增量，並在收到 content_block_stop 事件後解析 JSON，方法是使用像 Pydantic 這樣的庫進行部分 JSON 解析，或使用我們的 SDK，它們提供了訪問解析後的增量值的輔助工具。

tool_use 內容區塊增量如下所示：

輸入 JSON 增量
event: content_block_delta
data: {"type": "content_block_delta","index": 1,"delta": {"type": "input_json_delta","partial_json": "{\"location\": \"San Fra"}}}

注意：我們目前的模型僅支援一次從 input 中發出一個完整的鍵和值屬性。因此，在使用工具時，模型工作期間可能會在串流事件之間出現延遲。一旦 input 鍵和值被累積，我們會將它們作為多個帶有分塊部分 json 的 content_block_delta 事件發出，以便格式可以自動支援未來模型中更精細的粒度。

​
思考增量

當使用擴展思考並啟用串流時，您將通過 thinking_delta 事件接收思考內容。這些增量對應於 thinking 內容區塊的 thinking 欄位。

對於思考內容，在 content_block_stop 事件之前會發送一個特殊的 signature_delta 事件。此簽名用於驗證思考區塊的完整性。

典型的思考增量如下所示：

思考增量
event: content_block_delta
data: {"type": "content_block_delta", "index": 0, "delta": {"type": "thinking_delta", "thinking": "Let me solve this step by step:\n\n1. First break down 27 * 453"}}

簽名增量如下所示：

簽名增量
event: content_block_delta
data: {"type": "content_block_delta", "index": 0, "delta": {"type": "signature_delta", "signature": "EqQBCgIYAhIM1gbcDa9GJwZA2b3hGgxBdjrkzLoky3dl1pkiMOYds..."}}

​
完整 HTTP 串流回應

我們強烈建議在使用串流模式時使用我們的客戶端 SDK。但是，如果您正在構建直接的 API 整合，則需要自行處理這些事件。

串流回應由以下部分組成：

  1. 一個 message_start 事件
  2. 可能有多個內容區塊，每個區塊包含：
    • 一個 content_block_start 事件
    • 可能有多個 content_block_delta 事件
    • 一個 content_block_stop 事件
  3. 一個 message_delta 事件
  4. 一個 message_stop 事件

整個回應中可能還會分散有 ping 事件。有關格式的更多詳情，請參閱事件類型。
