Installation

Install Anthropic.SDK via the NuGet package manager:

PM> Install-Package Anthropic.SDK

API Keys

You can load the API Key from an environment variable named ANTHROPIC_API_KEY by default. Alternatively, you can supply it as a string to the AnthropicClient constructor.

IHttpClientFactory

The AnthropicClient can optionally take an IHttpClientFactory, which allows you to control elements such as retries and timeouts.

Usage

To start using the Claude AI API, simply create an instance of the AnthropicClient class.

Examples

Non-Streaming Call

Here's an example of a non-streaming call to the Claude AI API:

var client = new AnthropicClient();
var prompt = AnthropicSignals.HumanSignal + "Write me a sonnet about Joe Biden." + 
         AnthropicSignals.AssistantSignal;

var parameters = new SamplingParameters()
{
    // required    
    Model = AnthropicModels.Claude_v2_0
    Prompt = prompt,
    MaxTokensToSample = 512,

    //optional
    Temperature = 1,
    Top_k = 1,
    Top_p = 1
    StopSequences = new[] { AnthropicSignals.HumanSignal },
    Stream = false
};

var response = await client.Completions.GetClaudeCompletionAsync(parameters);

Streaming Call

The following is an example of a streaming call to the Claude AI API:

var client = new AnthropicClient();
var prompt = AnthropicSignals.HumanSignal + "Write me a sonnet about Joe Biden." + 
         AnthropicSignals.AssistantSignal;

var parameters = new SamplingParameters()
{
    MaxTokensToSample = 512,
    Prompt = prompt,
    Temperature = 0.0m,
    StopSequences = new[] { AnthropicSignals.HumanSignal },
    Stream = true,
    Model = AnthropicModels.Claude_v2
};

await foreach (var res in client.Completions.StreamClaudeCompletionAsync(parameters))
{
    Console.Write(res.Completion);
}
