Anthropic API
About
AI Agent Frameworks
The Anthropic API provides tool use and computer use capabilities that enable developers to build autonomous AI agents. Claude can call external functions, interact with APIs, browse the web, and operate desktop applications through its computer use feature, making the API a foundation for building agentic AI systems that perform multi-step tasks.
AI Code Assistants
The Anthropic API powers code assistance applications through Claude's strong programming capabilities across dozens of languages. Developers integrate the API into IDEs, code review tools, and development platforms to provide code generation, debugging, refactoring, and documentation features, with Claude's large context window enabling analysis of entire codebases.
AI Model Hosting
Anthropic hosts and serves all Claude models through its managed API infrastructure, handling GPU provisioning, scaling, and reliability. The API is also available through Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud Vertex AI, giving developers multiple hosting options for accessing Claude models in their preferred cloud environment.
AI RAG Tools
The Anthropic API is widely used as the generation component in retrieval-augmented generation systems, with Claude's 200,000-token context window enabling large amounts of retrieved context to be processed in a single request. Its strong instruction following and factual grounding capabilities make it well-suited for producing accurate, source-grounded responses in RAG applications.
LLM APIs
The Anthropic API is one of the leading LLM API providers, offering programmatic access to the Claude family of models through RESTful endpoints. It supports chat completions, vision, tool use, structured output, and extended thinking with context windows up to 200,000 tokens, serving developers building applications that require advanced reasoning, coding, and analysis capabilities.
