Build better apps with the Anthropic API. Use Claude to perform tasks and return data in specific formats.
Follow these rules to build reliable systems:
- Use the Messages API.
- Get model IDs and pricing from the official documentation.
- Do not use model strings from old blog posts.
Tool calling allows Claude to request specific actions. Your server executes these actions, such as:
- HTTP requests.
- Database queries.
- Internal functions.
Always validate arguments with schemas before you run them.
If your app needs machine-readable data, combine tool use with strict validation. Treat all model output as untrusted until your code parses it.
Follow these security and cost habits:
- Rotate your API keys regularly.
- Log request IDs for technical support.
- Monitor token usage to stay within your budget.
