Body Parameters#

  • max_tokens: number

    The maximum number of tokens to generate before stopping.

    Note that our models may stop before reaching this maximum. This parameter only specifies the absolute maximum number of tokens to generate.

    Different models have different maximum values for this parameter. See models for details.

  • messages: array of BetaMessageParam

    Input messages.

    Our models are trained to operate on alternating user and assistant conversational turns. When creating a new Message, you specify the prior conversational turns with the messages parameter, and the model then generates the next Message in the conversation. Consecutive user or assistant turns in your request will be combined into a single turn.

    Each input message must be an object with a role and content. You can specify a single user-role message, or you can include multiple user and assistant messages.

    If the final message uses the assistant role, the response content will continue immediately from the content in that message. This can be used to constrain part of the model’s response.

    Example with a single user message:

    [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"}]

    Example with multiple conversational turns:

    [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello there."},
      {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi, I'm Claude. How can I help you?"},
      {"role": "user", "content": "Can you explain LLMs in plain English?"},
    ]

    Example with a partially-filled response from Claude:

    [
      {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
      {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("},
    ]

    Each input message content may be either a single string or an array of content blocks, where each block has a specific type. Using a string for content is shorthand for an array of one content block of type "text". The following input messages are equivalent:

    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"}
    {"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Hello, Claude"}]}

    See input examples.

    Note that if you want to include a system prompt, you can use the top-level system parameter — there is no "system" role for input messages in the Messages API.

    There is a limit of 100,000 messages in a single request.

    Defaults to false. If set to true, the model will output at most one tool use.

    • BetaToolChoiceAny = object { type, disable_parallel_tool_use }

The model will use any available tools.

  • type: "any"

    • "any"
  • disable_parallel_tool_use: optional boolean

    Whether to disable parallel tool use.

    Defaults to false. If set to true, the model will output exactly one tool use.

    • BetaToolChoiceTool = object { name, type, disable_parallel_tool_use }

The model will use the specified tool with tool_choice.name.

  • name: string

    The name of the tool to use.

  • type: "tool"

    • "tool"
  • disable_parallel_tool_use: optional boolean

    Whether to disable parallel tool use.

    Defaults to false. If set to true, the model will output exactly one tool use.

    • BetaToolChoiceNone = object { type }

The model will not be allowed to use tools.

  • type: "none"

    • "none"
  • tools: optional array of BetaToolUnion

    Definitions of tools that the model may use.

    If you include tools in your API request, the model may return tool_use content blocks that represent the model’s use of those tools. You can then run those tools using the tool input generated by the model and then optionally return results back to the model using tool_result content blocks.

    There are two types of tools: client tools and server tools. The behavior described below applies to client tools. For server tools, see their individual documentation as each has its own behavior (e.g., the web search tool).

    Each tool definition includes:

    • name: Name of the tool.
    • description: Optional, but strongly-recommended description of the tool.
    • input_schema: JSON schema for the tool input shape that the model will produce in tool_use output content blocks.

    For example, if you defined tools as:

    [
      {
        "name": "get_stock_price",
        "description": "Get the current stock price for a given ticker symbol.",
        "input_schema": {
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
            "ticker": {
              "type": "string",
              "description": "The stock ticker symbol, e.g. AAPL for Apple Inc."
            }
          },
          "required": ["ticker"]
        }
      }
    ]

    And then asked the model “What’s the S&P 500 at today?”, the model might produce tool_use content blocks in the response like this:

    [
      {
        "type": "tool_use",
        "id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV",
        "name": "get_stock_price",
        "input": { "ticker": "^GSPC" }
      }
    ]

    You might then run your get_stock_price tool with {"ticker": "^GSPC"} as an input, and return the following back to the model in a subsequent user message:

    [
      {
        "type": "tool_result",
        "tool_use_id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV",
        "content": "259.75 USD"
      }
    ]

    Tools can be used for workflows that include running client-side tools and functions, or more generally whenever you want the model to produce a particular JSON structure of output.

    See our guide for more details.

    • BetaTool = object { input_schema, name, allowed_callers, 7 more }
  • input_schema: object { type, properties, required }

    JSON schema for this tool’s input.

    This defines the shape of the input that your tool accepts and that the model will produce.

    • type: "object"

      • "object"
    • properties: optional map[unknown]

    • required: optional array of string

  • name: string

    Name of the tool.

    This is how the tool will be called by the model and in tool_use blocks.

  • allowed_callers: optional array of "direct" or "code_execution_20250825" or "code_execution_20260120"

    • "direct"

    • "code_execution_20250825"

    • "code_execution_20260120"

    If true, tool will not be included in initial system prompt. Only loaded when returned via tool_reference from tool search.

  • description: optional string

    Description of what this tool does.

    Tool descriptions should be as detailed as possible. The more information that the model has about what the tool is and how to use it, the better it will perform. You can use natural language descriptions to reinforce important aspects of the tool input JSON schema.

  • eager_input_streaming: optional boolean

    Enable eager input streaming for this tool. When true, tool input parameters will be streamed incrementally as they are generated, and types will be inferred on-the-fly rather than buffering the full JSON output.

    Use nucleus sampling.

    In nucleus sampling, we compute the cumulative distribution over all the options for each subsequent token in decreasing probability order and cut it off once it reaches a particular probability specified by top_p. You should either alter temperature or top_p, but not both.

    Recommended for advanced use cases only. You usually only need to use temperature.

Returns#

  • BetaMessage = object { id, container, content, 7 more }

    • id: string

Unique object identifier.

The format and length of IDs may change over time.

  • container: BetaContainer

Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool)

  • id: string

    Identifier for the container used in this request

  • expires_at: string

    The time at which the container will expire.

  • skills: array of BetaSkill

    Skills loaded in the container

    • skill_id: string

      Skill ID

    • type: "anthropic" or "custom"

      Type of skill - either ‘anthropic’ (built-in) or ‘custom’ (user-defined)

      • "anthropic"

      • "custom"

    • version: string

      Skill version or ’latest’ for most recent version

    • content: array of BetaContentBlock

Content generated by the model.

This is an array of content blocks, each of which has a type that determines its shape.

Example:

    [{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}]
    ```

If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.

For example, if the input `messages` were:

```json
    [
      {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
      {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}
    ]
    ```

Then the response `content` might be:

```json
    [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}]
    ```

  - `usage: BetaUsage`

Billing and rate-limit usage.

Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.

Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.

For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.

Total input tokens in a request is the summation of `input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and `cache_read_input_tokens`.

- `cache_creation: BetaCacheCreation`

  Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL

  - Calculate the true context window size from the last iteration
  - Understand token accumulation across server-side tool use loops

Body Parameters#

  • messages: array of BetaMessageParam

    Input messages.

    Our models are trained to operate on alternating user and assistant conversational turns. When creating a new Message, you specify the prior conversational turns with the messages parameter, and the model then generates the next Message in the conversation. Consecutive user or assistant turns in your request will be combined into a single turn.

    Each input message must be an object with a role and content. You can specify a single user-role message, or you can include multiple user and assistant messages.

    If the final message uses the assistant role, the response content will continue immediately from the content in that message. This can be used to constrain part of the model’s response.

    Example with a single user message:

    [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"}]

    Example with multiple conversational turns:

    [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello there."},
      {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi, I'm Claude. How can I help you?"},
      {"role": "user", "content": "Can you explain LLMs in plain English?"},
    ]

    Example with a partially-filled response from Claude:

    [
      {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
      {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("},
    ]

    Each input message content may be either a single string or an array of content blocks, where each block has a specific type. Using a string for content is shorthand for an array of one content block of type "text". The following input messages are equivalent:

    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"}
    {"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Hello, Claude"}]}

    See input examples.

    Note that if you want to include a system prompt, you can use the top-level system parameter — there is no "system" role for input messages in the Messages API.

    There is a limit of 100,000 messages in a single request.

    Definitions of tools that the model may use.

    If you include tools in your API request, the model may return tool_use content blocks that represent the model’s use of those tools. You can then run those tools using the tool input generated by the model and then optionally return results back to the model using tool_result content blocks.

    There are two types of tools: client tools and server tools. The behavior described below applies to client tools. For server tools, see their individual documentation as each has its own behavior (e.g., the web search tool).

    Each tool definition includes:

    • name: Name of the tool.
    • description: Optional, but strongly-recommended description of the tool.
    • input_schema: JSON schema for the tool input shape that the model will produce in tool_use output content blocks.

    For example, if you defined tools as:

    [
      {
        "name": "get_stock_price",
        "description": "Get the current stock price for a given ticker symbol.",
        "input_schema": {
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
            "ticker": {
              "type": "string",
              "description": "The stock ticker symbol, e.g. AAPL for Apple Inc."
            }
          },
          "required": ["ticker"]
        }
      }
    ]

    And then asked the model “What’s the S&P 500 at today?”, the model might produce tool_use content blocks in the response like this:

    [
      {
        "type": "tool_use",
        "id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV",
        "name": "get_stock_price",
        "input": { "ticker": "^GSPC" }
      }
    ]

    You might then run your get_stock_price tool with {"ticker": "^GSPC"} as an input, and return the following back to the model in a subsequent user message:

    [
      {
        "type": "tool_result",
        "tool_use_id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV",
        "content": "259.75 USD"
      }
    ]

    Tools can be used for workflows that include running client-side tools and functions, or more generally whenever you want the model to produce a particular JSON structure of output.

    See our guide for more details.

    ```

If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.

For example, if the input `messages` were:

```json
    [
      {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
      {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}
    ]
    ```

Then the response `content` might be:

```json
    [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}]
    ```

  - `usage: BetaUsage`

Billing and rate-limit usage.

Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.

Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.

For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.

Total input tokens in a request is the summation of `input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and `cache_read_input_tokens`.

  - `usage: BetaMessageDeltaUsage`

Billing and rate-limit usage.

Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.

Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.

For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.

Total input tokens in a request is the summation of `input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and `cache_read_input_tokens`.

- `cache_creation_input_tokens: number`

  The cumulative number of input tokens used to create the cache entry.

- `cache_read_input_tokens: number`

  The cumulative number of input tokens read from the cache.

- `input_tokens: number`

  The cumulative number of input tokens which were used.

- `iterations: BetaIterationsUsage`

  Per-iteration token usage breakdown.

  Each entry represents one sampling iteration, with its own input/output token counts and cache statistics. This allows you to:

  - Determine which iterations exceeded long context thresholds (>=200k tokens)
  - Calculate the true context window size from the last iteration
  - Understand token accumulation across server-side tool use loops

  - `BetaMessageIterationUsage = object { cache_creation, cache_creation_input_tokens, cache_read_input_tokens, 3 more }`

    Token usage for a sampling iteration.

    - `cache_creation: BetaCacheCreation`

      Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL

      - `ephemeral_1h_input_tokens: number`

        The number of input tokens used to create the 1 hour cache entry.

      - `ephemeral_5m_input_tokens: number`

        The number of input tokens used to create the 5 minute cache entry.

    - `cache_creation_input_tokens: number`

      The number of input tokens used to create the cache entry.

    - `cache_read_input_tokens: number`

    - `input_tokens: number`

      The number of input tokens which were used.

    - `output_tokens: number`

      The number of output tokens which were used.

    - `type: "message"`

      Usage for a sampling iteration

      - `"message"`

  - `BetaCompactionIterationUsage = object { cache_creation, cache_creation_input_tokens, cache_read_input_tokens, 3 more }`

      - `ephemeral_1h_input_tokens: number`

        The number of input tokens used to create the 1 hour cache entry.

      - `ephemeral_5m_input_tokens: number`

        The number of input tokens used to create the 5 minute cache entry.

    - `cache_creation_input_tokens: number`

      The number of input tokens used to create the cache entry.

    - `cache_read_input_tokens: number`

      The number of input tokens read from the cache.

    - `input_tokens: number`

    - `output_tokens: number`

      The number of output tokens which were used.

    - `type: "compaction"`

      Usage for a compaction iteration

      - `"compaction"`

- `output_tokens: number`

  The cumulative number of output tokens which were used.

- `server_tool_use: BetaServerToolUsage`

  The number of server tool requests.

  - `web_fetch_requests: number`

### Beta Raw Message Start Event

- `BetaRawMessageStartEvent = object { message, type }`

  - `message: BetaMessage`

- `id: string`

  Unique object identifier.

  The format and length of IDs may change over time.

- `container: BetaContainer`

  Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool)

  - `id: string`

    Identifier for the container used in this request

  - `expires_at: string`

    The time at which the container will expire.

  - `skills: array of BetaSkill`

    Skills loaded in the container

    - `skill_id: string`

      Skill ID

    - `type: "anthropic" or "custom"`

      Type of skill - either 'anthropic' (built-in) or 'custom' (user-defined)

      - `"anthropic"`

      - `"custom"`

    - `version: string`

      Skill version or 'latest' for most recent version

- `content: array of BetaContentBlock`

  Content generated by the model.

  This is an array of content blocks, each of which has a `type` that determines its shape.

  Example:

  ```json
      [{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}]
      ```

  If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.

  For example, if the input `messages` were:

  ```json
      [
        {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
        {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}
      ]
      ```

  Then the response `content` might be:

  ```json
      [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}]
      ```

  - `BetaTextBlock = object { citations, text, type }`

    - `citations: array of BetaTextCitation`

      Citations supporting the text block.

      The type of citation returned will depend on the type of document being cited. Citing a PDF results in `page_location`, plain text results in `char_location`, and content document results in `content_block_location`.

  - `"message"`

- `usage: BetaUsage`

  Billing and rate-limit usage.

  Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.

  Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.

  For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.

  Total input tokens in a request is the summation of `input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and `cache_read_input_tokens`.

  - `cache_creation: BetaCacheCreation`

    Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL

    - `ephemeral_1h_input_tokens: number`

      - `version: string`

        Skill version or 'latest' for most recent version

  - `content: array of BetaContentBlock`

    Content generated by the model.

    This is an array of content blocks, each of which has a `type` that determines its shape.

    Example:

    ```json
        [{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}]
        ```

    If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.

    For example, if the input `messages` were:

    ```json
        [
          {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
          {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}
        ]
        ```

    Then the response `content` might be:

    ```json
        [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}]
        ```

  - `usage: BetaUsage`

    Billing and rate-limit usage.

    Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.

    Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.

    For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.

    Total input tokens in a request is the summation of `input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and `cache_read_input_tokens`.

# Batches

## Create

**post** `/v1/messages/batches`

Send a batch of Message creation requests.

The Message Batches API can be used to process multiple Messages API requests at once. Once a Message Batch is created, it begins processing immediately. Batches can take up to 24 hours to complete.

Learn more about the Message Batches API in our [user guide](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/batch-processing)

### Header Parameters

- `"anthropic-beta": optional array of AnthropicBeta`

  Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.

  - `UnionMember0 = string`

  - `UnionMember1 = "message-batches-2024-09-24" or "prompt-caching-2024-07-31" or "computer-use-2024-10-22" or 17 more`

### Body Parameters

- `requests: array of object { custom_id, params }`

  List of requests for prompt completion. Each is an individual request to create a Message.

  - `custom_id: string`

Developer-provided ID created for each request in a Message Batch. Useful for matching results to requests, as results may be given out of request order.

Must be unique for each request within the Message Batch.

  - `params: object { max_tokens, messages, model, 19 more }`

Messages API creation parameters for the individual request.

See the [Messages API reference](https://docs.claude.com/en/api/messages) for full documentation on available parameters.

- `max_tokens: number`

  The maximum number of tokens to generate before stopping.

  Note that our models may stop _before_ reaching this maximum. This parameter only specifies the absolute maximum number of tokens to generate.

  Different models have different maximum values for this parameter.  See [models](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/models-overview) for details.

- `messages: array of BetaMessageParam`

  Input messages.

  Our models are trained to operate on alternating `user` and `assistant` conversational turns. When creating a new `Message`, you specify the prior conversational turns with the `messages` parameter, and the model then generates the next `Message` in the conversation. Consecutive `user` or `assistant` turns in your request will be combined into a single turn.

  Each input message must be an object with a `role` and `content`. You can specify a single `user`-role message, or you can include multiple `user` and `assistant` messages.

  If the final message uses the `assistant` role, the response content will continue immediately from the content in that message. This can be used to constrain part of the model's response.

  Example with a single `user` message:

  ```json
      [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"}]
      ```

  Example with multiple conversational turns:

  ```json
      [
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello there."},
        {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi, I'm Claude. How can I help you?"},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Can you explain LLMs in plain English?"},
      ]
      ```

  Example with a partially-filled response from Claude:

  ```json
      [
        {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
        {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("},
      ]
      ```

  Each input message `content` may be either a single `string` or an array of content blocks, where each block has a specific `type`. Using a `string` for `content` is shorthand for an array of one content block of type `"text"`. The following input messages are equivalent:

  ```json
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"}
      ```

  ```json
      {"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Hello, Claude"}]}
      ```

  See [input examples](https://docs.claude.com/en/api/messages-examples).

  Note that if you want to include a [system prompt](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/system-prompts), you can use the top-level `system` parameter — there is no `"system"` role for input messages in the Messages API.

  There is a limit of 100,000 messages in a single request.

    - `type: "any"`

      - `"any"`

    - `disable_parallel_tool_use: optional boolean`

      Whether to disable parallel tool use.

    The model will not be allowed to use tools.

    - `type: "none"`

      - `"none"`

- `tools: optional array of BetaToolUnion`

  Definitions of tools that the model may use.

  If you include `tools` in your API request, the model may return `tool_use` content blocks that represent the model's use of those tools. You can then run those tools using the tool input generated by the model and then optionally return results back to the model using `tool_result` content blocks.

  There are two types of tools: **client tools** and **server tools**. The behavior described below applies to client tools. For [server tools](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/tool-use/overview#server-tools), see their individual documentation as each has its own behavior (e.g., the [web search tool](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/tool-use/web-search-tool)).

  Each tool definition includes:

  * `name`: Name of the tool.
  * `description`: Optional, but strongly-recommended description of the tool.
  * `input_schema`: [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12) for the tool `input` shape that the model will produce in `tool_use` output content blocks.

  For example, if you defined `tools` as:

  ```json
      [
        {
          "name": "get_stock_price",
          "description": "Get the current stock price for a given ticker symbol.",
          "input_schema": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
              "ticker": {
                "type": "string",
                "description": "The stock ticker symbol, e.g. AAPL for Apple Inc."
              }
            },
            "required": ["ticker"]
          }
        }
      ]
      ```

  And then asked the model "What's the S&P 500 at today?", the model might produce `tool_use` content blocks in the response like this:

  ```json
      [
        {
          "type": "tool_use",
          "id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV",
          "name": "get_stock_price",
          "input": { "ticker": "^GSPC" }
        }
      ]
      ```

  You might then run your `get_stock_price` tool with `{"ticker": "^GSPC"}` as an input, and return the following back to the model in a subsequent `user` message:

  ```json
      [
        {
          "type": "tool_result",
          "tool_use_id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV",
          "content": "259.75 USD"
        }
      ]
      ```

  Tools can be used for workflows that include running client-side tools and functions, or more generally whenever you want the model to produce a particular JSON structure of output.

  See our [guide](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/tool-use) for more details.

  - `BetaTool = object { input_schema, name, allowed_callers, 7 more }`

    - `input_schema: object { type, properties, required }`

      [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12) for this tool's input.

      This defines the shape of the `input` that your tool accepts and that the model will produce.

      - `properties: optional map[unknown]`

      - `required: optional array of string`

      This is how the tool will be called by the model and in `tool_use` blocks.

    - `allowed_callers: optional array of "direct" or "code_execution_20250825" or "code_execution_20260120"`

      - `"direct"`

        Defaults to `5m`.

        - `"5m"`

        - `"1h"`

    - `defer_loading: optional boolean`

      If true, tool will not be included in initial system prompt. Only loaded when returned via tool_reference from tool search.

    - `description: optional string`

      Description of what this tool does.

      Tool descriptions should be as detailed as possible. The more information that the model has about what the tool is and how to use it, the better it will perform. You can use natural language descriptions to reinforce important aspects of the tool input JSON schema.

    - `eager_input_streaming: optional boolean`

      Enable eager input streaming for this tool. When true, tool input parameters will be streamed incrementally as they are generated, and types will be inferred on-the-fly rather than buffering the full JSON output. When false, streaming is disabled for this tool even if the fine-grained-tool-streaming beta is active. When null (default), uses the default behavior based on beta headers.

    - `input_examples: optional array of map[unknown]`

    - `strict: optional boolean`

      When true, guarantees schema validation on tool names and inputs

Cancel#

post /v1/messages/batches/{message_batch_id}/cancel

Batches may be canceled any time before processing ends. Once cancellation is initiated, the batch enters a canceling state, at which time the system may complete any in-progress, non-interruptible requests before finalizing cancellation.

The number of canceled requests is specified in request_counts. To determine which requests were canceled, check the individual results within the batch. Note that cancellation may not result in any canceled requests if they were non-interruptible.

Returns#

  • BetaMessageBatchIndividualResponse = object { custom_id, result }

    This is a single line in the response .jsonl file and does not represent the response as a whole.

    • custom_id: string

Developer-provided ID created for each request in a Message Batch. Useful for matching results to requests, as results may be given out of request order.

Must be unique for each request within the Message Batch.

  • result: BetaMessageBatchResult

Processing result for this request.

Contains a Message output if processing was successful, an error response if processing failed, or the reason why processing was not attempted, such as cancellation or expiration.

  • BetaMessageBatchSucceededResult = object { message, type }

    • message: BetaMessage

      • id: string

        Unique object identifier.

        The format and length of IDs may change over time.

      • container: BetaContainer

        Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool)

        • id: string

          Identifier for the container used in this request

        • expires_at: string

          The time at which the container will expire.

        • skills: array of BetaSkill

          Skills loaded in the container

          • skill_id: string

            Skill ID

          • type: "anthropic" or "custom"

            Type of skill - either ‘anthropic’ (built-in) or ‘custom’ (user-defined)

            • "anthropic"

            • "custom"

          • version: string

            Skill version or ’latest’ for most recent version

      • content: array of BetaContentBlock

        Content generated by the model.

        This is an array of content blocks, each of which has a type that determines its shape.

        Example:

            [{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}]
            ```
        
        If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.
        
        For example, if the input `messages` were:
        
        ```json
            [
              {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
              {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}
            ]
            ```
        
        Then the response `content` might be:
        
        ```json
            [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}]
            ```
        
        - `BetaTextBlock = object { citations, text, type }`
        
          - `citations: array of BetaTextCitation`
        
            Citations supporting the text block.
        
            The type of citation returned will depend on the type of document being cited. Citing a PDF results in `page_location`, plain text results in `char_location`, and content document results in `content_block_location`.

        • "pause_turn": we paused a long-running turn. You may provide the response back as-is in a subsequent request to let the model continue.
        • "refusal": when streaming classifiers intervene to handle potential policy violations

        In non-streaming mode this value is always non-null. In streaming mode, it is null in the message_start event and non-null otherwise.

        • "message"
      • usage: BetaUsage

        Billing and rate-limit usage.

        Anthropic’s API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.

        Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model’s output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in usage will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.

        For example, output_tokens will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.

        Total input tokens in a request is the summation of input_tokens, cache_creation_input_tokens, and cache_read_input_tokens.

        • iterations: BetaIterationsUsage

          Per-iteration token usage breakdown.

          Each entry represents one sampling iteration, with its own input/output token counts and cache statistics. This allows you to:

          • Determine which iterations exceeded long context thresholds (>=200k tokens)

          • Calculate the true context window size from the last iteration

          • Understand token accumulation across server-side tool use loops

    This is a single line in the response .jsonl file and does not represent the response as a whole.

    • custom_id: string

Developer-provided ID created for each request in a Message Batch. Useful for matching results to requests, as results may be given out of request order.

Must be unique for each request within the Message Batch.

  • result: BetaMessageBatchResult

Processing result for this request.

Contains a Message output if processing was successful, an error response if processing failed, or the reason why processing was not attempted, such as cancellation or expiration.

  • BetaMessageBatchSucceededResult = object { message, type }

    • message: BetaMessage

      • id: string

        Unique object identifier.

        The format and length of IDs may change over time.

      • container: BetaContainer

        Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool)

        • id: string

          Identifier for the container used in this request

        • expires_at: string

          The time at which the container will expire.

        • skills: array of BetaSkill

          • skill_id: string

            Skill ID

          • type: "anthropic" or "custom"

            Type of skill - either ‘anthropic’ (built-in) or ‘custom’ (user-defined)

            • "anthropic"

            • "custom"

          • version: string

            Skill version or ’latest’ for most recent version

      • content: array of BetaContentBlock

        Content generated by the model.

        This is an array of content blocks, each of which has a type that determines its shape.

        Example:

            [{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}]
            ```
        
        If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.
        
        For example, if the input `messages` were:
        
        ```json
            [
              {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
              {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}
            ]
            ```
        
        Then the response `content` might be:
        
        ```json
            [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}]
            ```
        
        - `BetaTextBlock = object { citations, text, type }`
        
          - `citations: array of BetaTextCitation`
        
            Citations supporting the text block.
        
            The type of citation returned will depend on the type of document being cited. Citing a PDF results in `page_location`, plain text results in `char_location`, and content document results in `content_block_location`.

      • role: "assistant"

        Conversational role of the generated message.

        This will always be "assistant".

        • "assistant"
      • stop_reason: BetaStopReason

        The reason that we stopped.

        This may be one the following values:

        • "end_turn": the model reached a natural stopping point
        • "max_tokens": we exceeded the requested max_tokens or the model’s maximum
        • "stop_sequence": one of your provided custom stop_sequences was generated
        • "tool_use": the model invoked one or more tools
        • "pause_turn": we paused a long-running turn. You may provide the response back as-is in a subsequent request to let the model continue.
        • "refusal": when streaming classifiers intervene to handle potential policy violations

        In non-streaming mode this value is always non-null. In streaming mode, it is null in the message_start event and non-null otherwise.

        Object type.

        For Messages, this is always "message".

        • "message"
      • usage: BetaUsage

        Billing and rate-limit usage.

        Anthropic’s API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.

        Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model’s output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in usage will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.

        For example, output_tokens will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.

        Total input tokens in a request is the summation of input_tokens, cache_creation_input_tokens, and cache_read_input_tokens.

        • iterations: BetaIterationsUsage

          Per-iteration token usage breakdown.

          Each entry represents one sampling iteration, with its own input/output token counts and cache statistics. This allows you to:

          • Determine which iterations exceeded long context thresholds (>=200k tokens)

          • Calculate the true context window size from the last iteration

          • Understand token accumulation across server-side tool use loops

    Processing result for this request.

    Contains a Message output if processing was successful, an error response if processing failed, or the reason why processing was not attempted, such as cancellation or expiration.

    • BetaMessageBatchSucceededResult = object { message, type }
  • message: BetaMessage

    • id: string

      Unique object identifier.

      The format and length of IDs may change over time.

    • container: BetaContainer

          Type of skill - either ‘anthropic’ (built-in) or ‘custom’ (user-defined)

          • "anthropic"

          • "custom"

        • version: string

          Skill version or ’latest’ for most recent version

    • content: array of BetaContentBlock

      Content generated by the model.

      This is an array of content blocks, each of which has a type that determines its shape.

      Example:

          [{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}]
          ```
      
      If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.
      
      For example, if the input `messages` were:
      
      ```json
          [
            {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
            {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}
          ]
          ```
      
      Then the response `content` might be:
      
      ```json
          [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}]
          ```
      
      - `BetaTextBlock = object { citations, text, type }`
      
        - `citations: array of BetaTextCitation`
      
          Citations supporting the text block.
      
          The type of citation returned will depend on the type of document being cited. Citing a PDF results in `page_location`, plain text results in `char_location`, and content document results in `content_block_location`.

    • usage: BetaUsage

      Billing and rate-limit usage.

      Anthropic’s API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.

      Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model’s output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in usage will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.

      For example, output_tokens will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.

      Total input tokens in a request is the summation of input_tokens, cache_creation_input_tokens, and cache_read_input_tokens.

        • Determine which iterations exceeded long context thresholds (>=200k tokens)

        • Calculate the true context window size from the last iteration

        • Understand token accumulation across server-side tool use loops

    If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.
    
    For example, if the input `messages` were:
    
    ```json
        [
          {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
          {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}
        ]
        ```
    
    Then the response `content` might be:
    
    ```json
        [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}]
        ```

    • UnionMember1 = string

  • role: "assistant"

    Conversational role of the generated message.

    This will always be "assistant".

    • "assistant"
  • stop_reason: BetaStopReason

    The reason that we stopped.

    This may be one the following values:

    • "end_turn": the model reached a natural stopping point
    • "max_tokens": we exceeded the requested max_tokens or the model’s maximum
    • "stop_sequence": one of your provided custom stop_sequences was generated
    • "tool_use": the model invoked one or more tools
    • "pause_turn": we paused a long-running turn. You may provide the response back as-is in a subsequent request to let the model continue.
    • "refusal": when streaming classifiers intervene to handle potential policy violations

    In non-streaming mode this value is always non-null. In streaming mode, it is null in the message_start event and non-null otherwise.

    Which custom stop sequence was generated, if any.

    This value will be a non-null string if one of your custom stop sequences was generated.

  • type: "message"

    Object type.

    For Messages, this is always "message".

    • "message"
  • usage: BetaUsage

    Billing and rate-limit usage.

    Anthropic’s API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.

    Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model’s output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in usage will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.

    For example, output_tokens will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.

    Total input tokens in a request is the summation of input_tokens, cache_creation_input_tokens, and cache_read_input_tokens.

    • cache_creation: BetaCacheCreation

      Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL

      • ephemeral_1h_input_tokens: number

    • input_tokens: number

      The number of input tokens which were used.

    • iterations: BetaIterationsUsage

      Per-iteration token usage breakdown.

      Each entry represents one sampling iteration, with its own input/output token counts and cache statistics. This allows you to:

      • Determine which iterations exceeded long context thresholds (>=200k tokens)

      • Calculate the true context window size from the last iteration

      • Understand token accumulation across server-side tool use loops
