Claude Code API examples

*Unofficial community examples for Claude Code and the Claude API. Not affiliated with Anthropic. All trademarks belong to their owners.*

Three short Python scripts for anyone who searched claude code api and wants to make a first request to the Claude API rather than read another overview. They follow the order the API course teaches: a basic request with a system prompt, then streaming, then a single tool-use round trip. The API key is read from the environment in every file. Model ids change over time, so each script takes the model from `CLAUDE_MODEL` and treats the default as illustrative; pick a current id from the API reference.

Want an app rather than an API client? [Try Begin.sh - prompt or URL in, static site or Expo app zip out](https://begin.sh?utm_source=github&utm_medium=ugc&utm_campaign=claude-code-api-examples&utm_content=readme-top&utm_term=tier-r).

Files

Path	What it shows
`examples/quickstart.py`	One request with a system prompt; prints the text reply.
`examples/streaming.py`	The same request streamed token by token.
`examples/tool_use.py`	Defining one tool, handling the tool call, returning the result.

Setup

pip install anthropic
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-from-the-console
export CLAUDE_MODEL=claude-sonnet-5   # illustrative; use a current id from the API reference

Create the key in the [Claude Console](https://platform.claude.com/). The [quickstart](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/get-started) and [API reference](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/overview) are the authority for parameter names and current models; the scripts use the minimal, long-stable shape (a model, a token limit, a system prompt and a list of messages).

examples/quickstart.py

Creates a client, sends a single user message with a short system prompt, and prints the text of the reply. This is the 'authentication, basic requests, system prompts' part of the course's first s
