Quick start#

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic()

message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-opus-4-6",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"}],
)
print(message.content)


const client = new Anthropic();

const message = await client.messages.create({
  model: "claude-opus-4-6",
  max_tokens: 1024,
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello, Claude" }]
});
console.log(message.content);

AnthropicClient client = AnthropicOkHttpClient.fromEnv();

MessageCreateParams params = MessageCreateParams.builder()
    .model(Model.CLAUDE_OPUS_4_6)
    .maxTokens(1024L)
    .addUserMessage("Hello, Claude")
    .build();

Message message = client.messages().create(params);
System.out.println(message.content());

client := anthropic.NewClient()

message, _ := client.Messages.New(context.Background(), anthropic.MessageNewParams{
	Model:     anthropic.ModelClaudeOpus4_6,
	MaxTokens: 1024,
	Messages: []anthropic.MessageParam{
		anthropic.NewUserMessage(anthropic.NewTextBlock("Hello, Claude")),
	},
})
fmt.Println(message.Content)

client = Anthropic::Client.new

message = client.messages.create(
  model: "claude-opus-4-6",
  max_tokens: 1024,
  messages: [
    { role: "user", content: "Hello, Claude" }
  ]
)
puts message.content

using Anthropic;

var client = new AnthropicClient();

var message = await client.Messages.Create(new MessageCreateParams
{
    Model = "claude-opus-4-6",
    MaxTokens = 1024,
    Messages = [new() { Role = Role.User, Content = "Hello, Claude" }]
});
Console.WriteLine(message.Content);

use Anthropic\Client;

$client = new Client(apiKey: getenv('ANTHROPIC_API_KEY'));

$message = $client->messages->create(
    model: 'claude-opus-4-6',
    maxTokens: 1024,
    messages: [
        ['role' => 'user', 'content' => 'Hello, Claude']
    ],
);
echo $message->content[0]->text;

Platform support#

See individual SDK pages for platform-specific setup instructions.

Beta features#

Access beta features using the beta namespace in any SDK:

message = client.beta.messages.create(
    model="claude-opus-4-6",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
    betas=["feature-name"],
)

const message = await client.beta.messages.create({
  model: "claude-opus-4-6",
  max_tokens: 1024,
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
  betas: ["feature-name"]
});

import com.anthropic.models.beta.messages.MessageCreateParams;
import com.anthropic.models.messages.Model;

MessageCreateParams params = MessageCreateParams.builder()
    .model(Model.CLAUDE_OPUS_4_6)
    .maxTokens(1024L)
    .addUserMessage("Hello")
    .addBeta("feature-name")
    .build();

client.beta().messages().create(params);

message, _ := client.Beta.Messages.New(context.Background(), anthropic.BetaMessageNewParams{
	Model:     anthropic.ModelClaudeOpus4_6,
	MaxTokens: 1024,
	Messages: []anthropic.BetaMessageParam{
		anthropic.NewBetaUserMessage(anthropic.NewBetaTextBlock("Hello")),
	},
	Betas: []anthropic.AnthropicBeta{anthropic.AnthropicBeta("feature-name")},
})

message = anthropic.beta.messages.create(
  model: "claude-opus-4-6",
  max_tokens: 1024,
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
  betas: ["feature-name"]
)

var message = await client.Beta.Messages.Create(new MessageCreateParams
{
    Model = "claude-opus-4-6",
    MaxTokens = 1024,
    Messages = [new() { Role = Role.User, Content = "Hello" }],
    Betas = ["feature-name"],
});

$message = $client->beta->messages->create(
    model: 'claude-opus-4-6',
    maxTokens: 1024,
    messages: [['role' => 'user', 'content' => 'Hello']],
    betas: ['feature-name'],
