# Messages ## Create a Message `messages.create(MessageCreateParams**kwargs) -> Message` **post** `/v1/messages` Send a structured list of input messages with text and/or image content, and the model will generate the next message in the conversation. The Messages API can be used for either single queries or stateless multi-turn conversations. Learn more about the Messages API in our [user guide](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/initial-setup) ### Parameters - `max_tokens: int` The maximum number of tokens to generate before stopping. Note that our models may stop _before_ reaching this maximum. This parameter only specifies the absolute maximum number of tokens to generate. Set to `0` to populate the [prompt cache](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-caching#pre-warming-the-cache) without generating a response. Different models have different maximum values for this parameter. See [models](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/models-overview) for details. - `messages: Iterable[MessageParam]` Input messages. Our models are trained to operate on alternating `user` and `assistant` conversational turns. When creating a new `Message`, you specify the prior conversational turns with the `messages` parameter, and the model then generates the next `Message` in the conversation. Consecutive `user` or `assistant` turns in your request will be combined into a single turn. Each input message must be an object with a `role` and `content`. You can specify a single `user`-role message, or you can include multiple `user` and `assistant` messages. If the final message uses the `assistant` role, the response content will continue immediately from the content in that message. This can be used to constrain part of the model's response. Example with a single `user` message: ```json [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"}] ``` Example with multiple conversational turns: ```json [ {"role": "user", "content": "Hello there."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi, I'm Claude. How can I help you?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Can you explain LLMs in plain English?"}, ] ``` Example with a partially-filled response from Claude: ```json [ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}, ] ``` Each input message `content` may be either a single `string` or an array of content blocks, where each block has a specific `type`. Using a `string` for `content` is shorthand for an array of one content block of type `"text"`. The following input messages are equivalent: ```json {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"} ``` ```json {"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Hello, Claude"}]} ``` See [input examples](https://docs.claude.com/en/api/messages-examples). Note that if you want to include a [system prompt](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/system-prompts), you can use the top-level `system` parameter — there is no `"system"` role for input messages in the Messages API. There is a limit of 100,000 messages in a single request. - `content: Union[str, List[Union[TextBlockParam, ImageBlockParam, DocumentBlockParam, 15 more]]]` - `str` - `List[Union[TextBlockParam, ImageBlockParam, DocumentBlockParam, 15 more]]` - `class TextBlockParam: …` - `text: str` - `type: Literal["text"]` - `"text"` - `cache_control: Optional[CacheControlEphemeral]` Create a cache control breakpoint at this content block. - `type: Literal["ephemeral"]` - `"ephemeral"` - `ttl: Optional[Literal["5m", "1h"]]` The time-to-live for the cache control breakpoint.

Our models will normally stop when they have naturally completed their turn, which will result in a response `stop_reason` of `"end_turn"`. If you want the model to stop generating when it encounters custom strings of text, you can use the `stop_sequences` parameter. If the model encounters one of the custom sequences, the response `stop_reason` value will be `"stop_sequence"` and the response `stop_sequence` value will contain the matched stop sequence. - `stream: Optional[Literal[false]]` Whether to incrementally stream the response using server-sent events. See [streaming](https://docs.claude.com/en/api/messages-streaming) for details. - `false` - `system: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[TextBlockParam]]]` System prompt. A system prompt is a way of providing context and instructions to Claude, such as specifying a particular goal or role. See our [guide to system prompts](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/system-prompts). - `str` - `Iterable[TextBlockParam]` - `text: str` - `type: Literal["text"]` - `cache_control: Optional[CacheControlEphemeral]` Create a cache control breakpoint at this content block. - `citations: Optional[List[TextCitationParam]]` - `temperature: Optional[float]` Amount of randomness injected into the response.

Note that even with `temperature` of `0.0`, the results will not be fully deterministic. - `thinking: Optional[ThinkingConfigParam]` Configuration for enabling Claude's extended thinking. When enabled, responses include `thinking` content blocks showing Claude's thinking process before the final answer. Requires a minimum budget of 1,024 tokens and counts towards your `max_tokens` limit. See [extended thinking](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/extended-thinking) for details. - `class ThinkingConfigEnabled: …` - `budget_tokens: int` Determines how many tokens Claude can use for its internal reasoning process. Larger budgets can enable more thorough analysis for complex problems, improving response quality. Must be ≥1024 and less than `max_tokens`.

Defaults to `summarized`. - `"summarized"` - `"omitted"` - `tool_choice: Optional[ToolChoiceParam]` How the model should use the provided tools. The model can use a specific tool, any available tool, decide by itself, or not use tools at all. - `class ToolChoiceAuto: …` The model will automatically decide whether to use tools. - `type: Literal["auto"]` - `"auto"` - `disable_parallel_tool_use: Optional[bool]` Whether to disable parallel tool use. Defaults to `false`. If set to `true`, the model will output at most one tool use. - `class ToolChoiceAny: …` The model will use any available tools. - `type: Literal["any"]` - `"any"` - `disable_parallel_tool_use: Optional[bool]` Whether to disable parallel tool use. Defaults to `false`. If set to `true`, the model will output exactly one tool use. - `class ToolChoiceTool: …` The model will use the specified tool with `tool_choice.name`. - `name: str` The name of the tool to use. - `type: Literal["tool"]` - `"tool"` - `disable_parallel_tool_use: Optional[bool]` Whether to disable parallel tool use. Defaults to `false`. If set to `true`, the model will output exactly one tool use. - `class ToolChoiceNone: …` The model will not be allowed to use tools. - `type: Literal["none"]` - `"none"` - `tools: Optional[Iterable[ToolUnionParam]]` Definitions of tools that the model may use. If you include `tools` in your API request, the model may return `tool_use` content blocks that represent the model's use of those tools. You can then run those tools using the tool input generated by the model and then optionally return results back to the model using `tool_result` content blocks. There are two types of tools: **client tools** and **server tools**. The behavior described below applies to client tools. For [server tools](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/tool-use/overview#server-tools), see their individual documentation as each has its own behavior (e.g., the [web search tool](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/tool-use/web-search-tool)). Each tool definition includes: * `name`: Name of the tool. * `description`: Optional, but strongly-recommended description of the tool. * `input_schema`: [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12) for the tool `input` shape that the model will produce in `tool_use` output content blocks. For example, if you defined `tools` as: ```json [ { "name": "get_stock_price", "description": "Get the current stock price for a given ticker symbol.", "input_schema": { "type": "object", "properties": { "ticker": { "type": "string", "description": "The stock ticker symbol, e.g. AAPL for Apple Inc." } }, "required": ["ticker"] } } ] ``` And then asked the model "What's the S&P 500 at today?", the model might produce `tool_use` content blocks in the response like this: ```json [ { "type": "tool_use", "id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV", "name": "get_stock_price", "input": { "ticker": "^GSPC" } } ] ``` You might then run your `get_stock_price` tool with `{"ticker": "^GSPC"}` as an input, and return the following back to the model in a subsequent `user` message: ```json [ { "type": "tool_result", "tool_use_id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV", "content": "259.75 USD" } ] ``` Tools can be used for workflows that include running client-side tools and functions, or more generally whenever you want the model to produce a particular JSON structure of output. See our [guide](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/tool-use) for more details. - `class Tool: …` - `input_schema: InputSchema` [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12) for this tool's input.

This text is not guaranteed to be stable. `null` when no explanation is available for the category. - `type: Literal["refusal"]` - `"refusal"` - `stop_reason: Optional[StopReason]` The reason that we stopped. This may be one the following values: * `"end_turn"`: the model reached a natural stopping point * `"max_tokens"`: we exceeded the requested `max_tokens` or the model's maximum * `"stop_sequence"`: one of your provided custom `stop_sequences` was generated * `"tool_use"`: the model invoked one or more tools * `"pause_turn"`: we paused a long-running turn. You may provide the response back as-is in a subsequent request to let the model continue. * `"refusal"`: when streaming classifiers intervene to handle potential policy violations In non-streaming mode this value is always non-null.

This value will be a non-null string if one of your custom stop sequences was generated. - `type: Literal["message"]` Object type. For Messages, this is always `"message"`. - `"message"` - `usage: Usage` Billing and rate-limit usage. Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems. Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response. For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude. Total input tokens in a request is the summation of `input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and `cache_read_input_tokens`. - `cache_creation: Optional[CacheCreation]` Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL - `ephemeral_1h_input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens used to create the 1 hour cache entry. - `ephemeral_5m_input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens used to create the 5 minute cache entry. - `cache_creation_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The number of input tokens used to create the cache entry. - `cache_read_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The number of input tokens read from the cache. - `inference_geo: Optional[str]` The geographic region where inference was performed for this request. - `input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens which were used. - `output_tokens: int` The number of output tokens which were used. - `output_tokens_details: Optional[OutputTokensDetails]` Breakdown of output tokens by category. `output_tokens` remains the inclusive, authoritative total used for billing. This object provides a read-only decomposition for observability — for example, how many of the billed output tokens were spent on internal reasoning that may have been summarized before being returned to you. - `thinking_tokens: int` Number of output tokens the model generated as internal reasoning, including the thinking-block delimiter tokens. Reflects the raw reasoning the model produced, not the (possibly shorter) summarized thinking text returned in the response body. Computed by re-tokenizing the raw reasoning text, so it may differ from the model's exact generation count by a small number of tokens. Always ≤ `output_tokens`; `output_tokens - thinking_tokens` approximates the non-reasoning output. - `server_tool_use: Optional[ServerToolUsage]` The number of server tool requests. - `web_fetch_requests: int` The number of web fetch tool requests. - `web_search_requests: int` The number of web search tool requests. - `service_tier: Optional[Literal["standard", "priority", "batch"]]` If the request used the priority, standard, or batch tier. - `"standard"` - `"priority"` - `"batch"` ### Example ```python import os from anthropic import Anthropic client = Anthropic( api_key=os.environ.get("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"), # This is the default and can be omitted ) for message in client.messages.create( max_tokens=1024, messages=[{ "content": "Hello, world", "role": "user", }], model="claude-opus-4-6", ): print(message) ``` #### Response ```json { "id": "msg_013Zva2CMHLNnXjNJJKqJ2EF", "container": { "id": "id", "expires_at": "2019-12-27T18:11:19.117Z" }, "content": [ { "citations": [ { "cited_text": "cited_text", "document_index": 0, "document_title": "document_title", "end_char_index": 0, "file_id": "file_id", "start_char_index": 0, "type": "char_location" } ], "text": "Hi!

The Token Count API can be used to count the number of tokens in a Message, including tools, images, and documents, without creating it. Learn more about token counting in our [user guide](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/token-counting) ### Parameters - `messages: Iterable[MessageParam]` Input messages. Our models are trained to operate on alternating `user` and `assistant` conversational turns. When creating a new `Message`, you specify the prior conversational turns with the `messages` parameter, and the model then generates the next `Message` in the conversation. Consecutive `user` or `assistant` turns in your request will be combined into a single turn. Each input message must be an object with a `role` and `content`. You can specify a single `user`-role message, or you can include multiple `user` and `assistant` messages. If the final message uses the `assistant` role, the response content will continue immediately from the content in that message. This can be used to constrain part of the model's response. Example with a single `user` message: ```json [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"}] ``` Example with multiple conversational turns: ```json [ {"role": "user", "content": "Hello there."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi, I'm Claude. How can I help you?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Can you explain LLMs in plain English?"}, ] ``` Example with a partially-filled response from Claude: ```json [ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}, ] ``` Each input message `content` may be either a single `string` or an array of content blocks, where each block has a specific `type`. Using a `string` for `content` is shorthand for an array of one content block of type `"text"`. The following input messages are equivalent: ```json {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"} ``` ```json {"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Hello, Claude"}]} ``` See [input examples](https://docs.claude.com/en/api/messages-examples). Note that if you want to include a [system prompt](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/system-prompts), you can use the top-level `system` parameter — there is no `"system"` role for input messages in the Messages API. There is a limit of 100,000 messages in a single request. - `content: Union[str, List[Union[TextBlockParam, ImageBlockParam, DocumentBlockParam, 15 more]]]` - `str` - `List[Union[TextBlockParam, ImageBlockParam, DocumentBlockParam, 15 more]]` - `class TextBlockParam: …` - `text: str` - `type: Literal["text"]` - `"text"` - `cache_control: Optional[CacheControlEphemeral]` Create a cache control breakpoint at this content block. - `type: Literal["ephemeral"]` - `"ephemeral"` - `ttl: Optional[Literal["5m", "1h"]]` The time-to-live for the cache control breakpoint.

If set to `true`, the model will output exactly one tool use. - `class ToolChoiceNone: …` The model will not be allowed to use tools. - `type: Literal["none"]` - `"none"` - `tools: Optional[Iterable[MessageCountTokensToolParam]]` Definitions of tools that the model may use. If you include `tools` in your API request, the model may return `tool_use` content blocks that represent the model's use of those tools. You can then run those tools using the tool input generated by the model and then optionally return results back to the model using `tool_result` content blocks. There are two types of tools: **client tools** and **server tools**. The behavior described below applies to client tools. For [server tools](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/tool-use/overview#server-tools), see their individual documentation as each has its own behavior (e.g., the [web search tool](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/tool-use/web-search-tool)). Each tool definition includes: * `name`: Name of the tool. * `description`: Optional, but strongly-recommended description of the tool. * `input_schema`: [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12) for the tool `input` shape that the model will produce in `tool_use` output content blocks. For example, if you defined `tools` as: ```json [ { "name": "get_stock_price", "description": "Get the current stock price for a given ticker symbol.", "input_schema": { "type": "object", "properties": { "ticker": { "type": "string", "description": "The stock ticker symbol, e.g. AAPL for Apple Inc." } }, "required": ["ticker"] } } ] ``` And then asked the model "What's the S&P 500 at today?", the model might produce `tool_use` content blocks in the response like this: ```json [ { "type": "tool_use", "id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV", "name": "get_stock_price", "input": { "ticker": "^GSPC" } } ] ``` You might then run your `get_stock_price` tool with `{"ticker": "^GSPC"}` as an input, and return the following back to the model in a subsequent `user` message: ```json [ { "type": "tool_result", "tool_use_id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV", "content": "259.75 USD" } ] ``` Tools can be used for workflows that include running client-side tools and functions, or more generally whenever you want the model to produce a particular JSON structure of output. See our [guide](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/tool-use) for more details. - `class Tool: …` - `input_schema: InputSchema` [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12) for this tool's input.

The more information that the model has about what the tool is and how to use it, the better it will perform. You can use natural language descriptions to reinforce important aspects of the tool input JSON schema. - `eager_input_streaming: Optional[bool]` Enable eager input streaming for this tool. When true, tool input parameters will be streamed incrementally as they are generated, and types will be inferred on-the-fly rather than buffering the full JSON output. When false, streaming is disabled for this tool even if the fine-grained-tool-streaming beta is active. When null (default), uses the default behavior based on beta headers. - `input_examples: Optional[List[Dict[str, object]]]` - `strict: Optional[bool]` When true, guarantees schema validation on tool names and inputs - `type: Optional[Literal["custom"]]` - `"custom"` - `class ToolBash20250124: …` - `name: Literal["bash"]` Name of the tool.

This will always be `"assistant"`. - `"assistant"` - `stop_details: Optional[RefusalStopDetails]` Structured information about a refusal. - `category: Optional[Literal["cyber", "bio", "reasoning_extraction"]]` The policy category that triggered the refusal. `null` when the refusal doesn't map to a named category. - `"cyber"` - `"bio"` - `"reasoning_extraction"` - `explanation: Optional[str]` Human-readable explanation of the refusal. This text is not guaranteed to be stable. `null` when no explanation is available for the category. - `type: Literal["refusal"]` - `"refusal"` - `stop_reason: Optional[StopReason]` The reason that we stopped. This may be one the following values: * `"end_turn"`: the model reached a natural stopping point * `"max_tokens"`: we exceeded the requested `max_tokens` or the model's maximum * `"stop_sequence"`: one of your provided custom `stop_sequences` was generated * `"tool_use"`: the model invoked one or more tools * `"pause_turn"`: we paused a long-running turn. You may provide the response back as-is in a subsequent request to let the model continue. * `"refusal"`: when streaming classifiers intervene to handle potential policy violations In non-streaming mode this value is always non-null. In streaming mode, it is null in the `message_start` event and non-null otherwise. - `"end_turn"` - `"max_tokens"` - `"stop_sequence"` - `"tool_use"` - `"pause_turn"` - `"refusal"` - `stop_sequence: Optional[str]` Which custom stop sequence was generated, if any. This value will be a non-null string if one of your custom stop sequences was generated. - `type: Literal["message"]` Object type. For Messages, this is always `"message"`. - `"message"` - `usage: Usage` Billing and rate-limit usage. Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems. Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response. For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude. Total input tokens in a request is the summation of `input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and `cache_read_input_tokens`. - `cache_creation: Optional[CacheCreation]` Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL - `ephemeral_1h_input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens used to create the 1 hour cache entry. - `ephemeral_5m_input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens used to create the 5 minute cache entry. - `cache_creation_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The number of input tokens used to create the cache entry. - `cache_read_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The number of input tokens read from the cache. - `inference_geo: Optional[str]` The geographic region where inference was performed for this request. - `input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens which were used. - `output_tokens: int` The number of output tokens which were used. - `output_tokens_details: Optional[OutputTokensDetails]` Breakdown of output tokens by category. `output_tokens` remains the inclusive, authoritative total used for billing. This object provides a read-only decomposition for observability — for example, how many of the billed output tokens were spent on internal reasoning that may have been summarized before being returned to you. - `thinking_tokens: int` Number of output tokens the model generated as internal reasoning, including the thinking-block delimiter tokens. Reflects the raw reasoning the model produced, not the (possibly shorter) summarized thinking text returned in the response body. Computed by re-tokenizing the raw reasoning text, so it may differ from the model's exact generation count by a small number of tokens. Always ≤ `output_tokens`; `output_tokens - thinking_tokens` approximates the non-reasoning output. - `server_tool_use: Optional[ServerToolUsage]` The number of server tool requests. - `web_fetch_requests: int` The number of web fetch tool requests. - `web_search_requests: int` The number of web search tool requests. - `service_tier: Optional[Literal["standard", "priority", "batch"]]` If the request used the priority, standard, or batch tier. - `"standard"` - `"priority"` - `"batch"` ### Message Count Tokens Tool - `MessageCountTokensTool` Code execution tool with REPL state persistence (daemon mode + gVisor checkpoint). - `class Tool: …` - `input_schema: InputSchema` [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12) for this tool's input.

This may be one the following values: - `5m`: 5 minutes - `1h`: 1 hour Defaults to `5m`. - `"5m"` - `"1h"` - `defer_loading: Optional[bool]` If true, tool will not be included in initial system prompt. Only loaded when returned via tool_reference from tool search. - `description: Optional[str]` Description of what this tool does. Tool descriptions should be as detailed as possible. The more information that the model has about what the tool is and how to use it, the better it will perform. You can use natural language descriptions to reinforce important aspects of the tool input JSON schema. - `eager_input_streaming: Optional[bool]` Enable eager input streaming for this tool. When true, tool input parameters will be streamed incrementally as they are generated, and types will be inferred on-the-fly rather than buffering the full JSON output. When false, streaming is disabled for this tool even if the fine-grained-tool-streaming beta is active. When null (default), uses the default behavior based on beta headers. - `input_examples: Optional[List[Dict[str, object]]]` - `strict: Optional[bool]` When true, guarantees schema validation on tool names and inputs - `type: Optional[Literal["custom"]]` - `"custom"` - `class ToolBash20250124: …` - `name: Literal["bash"]` Name of the tool.

This object provides a read-only decomposition for observability — for example, how many of the billed output tokens were spent on internal reasoning that may have been summarized before being returned to you. - `thinking_tokens: int` Number of output tokens the model generated as internal reasoning, including the thinking-block delimiter tokens. Reflects the raw reasoning the model produced, not the (possibly shorter) summarized thinking text returned in the response body. Computed by re-tokenizing the raw reasoning text, so it may differ from the model's exact generation count by a small number of tokens. Always ≤ `output_tokens`; `output_tokens - thinking_tokens` approximates the non-reasoning output. - `server_tool_use: Optional[ServerToolUsage]` The number of server tool requests. - `web_fetch_requests: int` The number of web fetch tool requests. - `web_search_requests: int` The number of web search tool requests. ### Message Param - `class MessageParam: …` - `content: Union[str, List[Union[TextBlockParam, ImageBlockParam, DocumentBlockParam, 15 more]]]` - `str` - `List[Union[TextBlockParam, ImageBlockParam, DocumentBlockParam, 15 more]]` - `class TextBlockParam: …` - `text: str` - `type: Literal["text"]` - `"text"` - `cache_control: Optional[CacheControlEphemeral]` Create a cache control breakpoint at this content block. - `type: Literal["ephemeral"]` - `"ephemeral"` - `ttl: Optional[Literal["5m", "1h"]]` The time-to-live for the cache control breakpoint.

Not counted toward output tokens, and not counted toward input tokens when sent back in subsequent turns. - `end_block_index: int` Exclusive 0-based end index of the cited block range in the source's `content` array. Always greater than `start_block_index`; a single-block citation has `end_block_index = start_block_index + 1`. - `search_result_index: int` 0-based index of the cited search result among all `search_result` content blocks in the request, in the order they appear across messages and tool results. Counted separately from `document_index`; server-side web search results are not included in this count. - `source: str` - `start_block_index: int` 0-based index of the first cited block in the source's `content` array. -

`index: int` - `type: Literal["content_block_stop"]` - `"content_block_stop"` ### Raw Message Delta Event - `class RawMessageDeltaEvent: …` - `delta: Delta` - `container: Optional[Container]` Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool) - `id: str` Identifier for the container used in this request - `expires_at: datetime` The time at which the container will expire. - `stop_details: Optional[RefusalStopDetails]` Structured information about a refusal. -

This text is not guaranteed to be stable. `null` when no explanation is available for the category. - `type: Literal["refusal"]` - `"refusal"` - `stop_reason: Optional[StopReason]` - `"end_turn"` - `"max_tokens"` - `"stop_sequence"` - `"tool_use"` - `"pause_turn"` - `"refusal"` - `stop_sequence: Optional[str]` - `type: Literal["message_delta"]` - `"message_delta"` - `usage: MessageDeltaUsage` Billing and rate-limit usage. Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems. Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response. For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude. Total input tokens in a request is the summation of `input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and `cache_read_input_tokens`. - `cache_creation_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The cumulative number of input tokens used to create the cache entry. - `cache_read_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The cumulative number of input tokens read from the cache. - `input_tokens: Optional[int]` The cumulative number of input tokens which were used. - `output_tokens: int` The cumulative number of output tokens which were used. - `output_tokens_details: Optional[OutputTokensDetails]` Breakdown of output tokens by category. `output_tokens` remains the inclusive, authoritative total used for billing. This object provides a read-only decomposition for observability — for example, how many of the billed output tokens were spent on internal reasoning that may have been summarized before being returned to you. - `thinking_tokens: int` Number of output tokens the model generated as internal reasoning, including the thinking-block delimiter tokens. Reflects the raw reasoning the model produced, not the (possibly shorter) summarized thinking text returned in the response body. Computed by re-tokenizing the raw reasoning text, so it may differ from the model's exact generation count by a small number of tokens. Always ≤ `output_tokens`; `output_tokens - thinking_tokens` approximates the non-reasoning output. - `server_tool_use: Optional[ServerToolUsage]` The number of server tool requests. - `web_fetch_requests: int` The number of web fetch tool requests. - `web_search_requests: int` The number of web search tool requests. ### Raw Message Start Event - `class RawMessageStartEvent: …` - `message: Message` - `id: str` Unique object identifier. The format and length of IDs may change over time. - `container: Optional[Container]` Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool) - `id: str` Identifier for the container used in this request - `expires_at: datetime` The time at which the container will expire. - `content: List[ContentBlock]` Content generated by the model. This is an array of content blocks, each of which has a `type` that determines its shape. Example: ```json [{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}] ``` If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output. For example, if the input `messages` were: ```json [ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("} ] ``` Then the response `content` might be: ```json [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}] ``` - `class TextBlock: …` - `citations: Optional[List[TextCitation]]` Citations supporting the text block. The type of citation returned will depend on the type of document being cited. Citing a PDF results in `page_location`, plain text results in `char_location`, and content document results in `content_block_location`. - `class CitationCharLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` - `document_index: int` - `document_title: Optional[str]` - `end_char_index: int` - `file_id: Optional[str]` - `start_char_index: int` - `type: Literal["char_location"]` - `"char_location"` - `class CitationPageLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` - `document_index: int` - `document_title: Optional[str]` - `end_page_number: int` - `file_id: Optional[str]` - `start_page_number: int` - `type: Literal["page_location"]` - `"page_location"` - `class CitationContentBlockLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` The full text of the cited block range, concatenated. Always equals the contents of `content[start_block_index:end_block_index]` joined together. The text block is the minimal citable unit; this field is never a substring of a single block. Not counted toward output tokens, and not counted toward input tokens when sent back in subsequent turns. - `document_index: int` - `document_title: Optional[str]` - `end_block_index: int` Exclusive 0-based end index of the cited block range in the source's `content` array. Always greater than `start_block_index`; a single-block citation has `end_block_index = start_block_index + 1`. - `file_id: Optional[str]` - `start_block_index: int` 0-based index of the first cited block in the source's `content` array. - `type: Literal["content_block_location"]` - `"content_block_location"` - `class CitationsWebSearchResultLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` - `encrypted_index: str` - `title: Optional[str]` - `type: Literal["web_search_result_location"]` - `"web_search_result_location"` - `url: str` - `class CitationsSearchResultLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` The full text of the cited block range, concatenated. Always equals the contents of `content[start_block_index:end_block_index]` joined together. The text block is the minimal citable unit; this field is never a substring of a single block. Not counted toward output tokens, and not counted toward input tokens when sent back in subsequent turns. - `end_block_index: int` Exclusive 0-based end index of the cited block range in the source's `content` array. Always greater than `start_block_index`; a single-block citation has `end_block_index = start_block_index + 1`. - `search_result_index: int` 0-based index of the cited search result among all `search_result` content blocks in the request, in the order they appear across messages and tool results. Counted separately from `document_index`; server-side web search results are not included in this count. - `source: str` - `start_block_index: int` 0-based index of the first cited block in the source's `content` array. -

You can use this to constrain the model's output. For example, if the input `messages` were: ```json [ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("} ] ``` Then the response `content` might be: ```json [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}] ``` - `class TextBlock: …` - `citations: Optional[List[TextCitation]]` Citations supporting the text block. The type of citation returned will depend on the type of document being cited. Citing a PDF results in `page_location`, plain text results in `char_location`, and content document results in `content_block_location`. - `class CitationCharLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` - `document_index: int` - `document_title: Optional[str]` - `end_char_index: int` - `file_id: Optional[str]` - `start_char_index: int` - `type: Literal["char_location"]` - `"char_location"` - `class CitationPageLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` - `document_index: int` - `document_title: Optional[str]` - `end_page_number: int` - `file_id: Optional[str]` - `start_page_number: int` - `type: Literal["page_location"]` - `"page_location"` - `class CitationContentBlockLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` The full text of the cited block range, concatenated.

Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems. Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response. For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.

Reflects the raw reasoning the model produced, not the (possibly shorter) summarized thinking text returned in the response body. Computed by re-tokenizing the raw reasoning text, so it may differ from the model's exact generation count by a small number of tokens.

The Message Batches API can be used to process multiple Messages API requests at once. Once a Message Batch is created, it begins processing immediately. Batches can take up to 24 hours to complete. Learn more about the Message Batches API in our [user guide](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/batch-processing) ### Parameters - `requests: Iterable[Request]` List of requests for prompt completion. Each is an individual request to create a Message. - `custom_id: str` Developer-provided ID created for each request in a Message Batch. Useful for matching results to requests, as results may be given out of request order. Must be unique for each request within the Message Batch. - `params: RequestParams` Messages API creation parameters for the individual request. See the [Messages API reference](https://docs.claude.com/en/api/messages) for full documentation on available parameters. - `max_tokens: int` The maximum number of tokens to generate before stopping. Note that our models may stop _before_ reaching this maximum. This parameter only specifies the absolute maximum number of tokens to generate. Set to `0` to populate the [prompt cache](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-caching#pre-warming-the-cache) without generating a response. Different models have different maximum values for this parameter. See [models](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/models-overview) for details. - `messages: Iterable[MessageParam]` Input messages. Our models are trained to operate on alternating `user` and `assistant` conversational turns. When creating a new `Message`, you specify the prior conversational turns with the `messages` parameter, and the model then generates the next `Message` in the conversation. Consecutive `user` or `assistant` turns in your request will be combined into a single turn. Each input message must be an object with a `role` and `content`. You can specify a single `user`-role message, or you can include multiple `user` and `assistant` messages. If the final message uses the `assistant` role, the response content will continue immediately from the content in that message. This can be used to constrain part of the model's response. Example with a single `user` message: ```json [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"}] ``` Example with multiple conversational turns: ```json [ {"role": "user", "content": "Hello there."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi, I'm Claude. How can I help you?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Can you explain LLMs in plain English?"}, ] ``` Example with a partially-filled response from Claude: ```json [ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}, ] ``` Each input message `content` may be either a single `string` or an array of content blocks, where each block has a specific `type`. Using a `string` for `content` is shorthand for an array of one content block of type `"text"`. The following input messages are equivalent: ```json {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"} ``` ```json {"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Hello, Claude"}]} ``` See [input examples](https://docs.claude.com/en/api/messages-examples). Note that if you want to include a [system prompt](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/system-prompts), you can use the top-level `system` parameter — there is no `"system"` role for input messages in the Messages API. There is a limit of 100,000 messages in a single request. - `content: Union[str, List[Union[TextBlockParam, ImageBlockParam, DocumentBlockParam, 15 more]]]` - `str` - `List[Union[TextBlockParam, ImageBlockParam, DocumentBlockParam, 15 more]]` - `class TextBlockParam: …` - `text: str` - `type: Literal["text"]` - `"text"` - `cache_control: Optional[CacheControlEphemeral]` Create a cache control breakpoint at this content block. - `type: Literal["ephemeral"]` - `"ephemeral"` - `ttl: Optional[Literal["5m", "1h"]]` The time-to-live for the cache control breakpoint.

Anthropic offers different levels of service for your API requests. See [service-tiers](https://docs.claude.com/en/api/service-tiers) for details. - `"auto"` - `"standard_only"` - `stop_sequences: Optional[Sequence[str]]` Custom text sequences that will cause the model to stop generating. Our models will normally stop when they have naturally completed their turn, which will result in a response `stop_reason` of `"end_turn"`. If you want the model to stop generating when it encounters custom strings of text, you can use the `stop_sequences` parameter. If the model encounters one of the custom sequences, the response `stop_reason` value will be `"stop_sequence"` and the response `stop_sequence` value will contain the matched stop sequence. - `stream: Optional[bool]` Whether to incrementally stream the response using server-sent events. See [streaming](https://docs.claude.com/en/api/messages-streaming) for details. - `system: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[TextBlockParam]]]` System prompt. A system prompt is a way of providing context and instructions to Claude, such as specifying a particular goal or role.

Defaults to `1.0`. Ranges from `0.0` to `1.0`. Use `temperature` closer to `0.0` for analytical / multiple choice, and closer to `1.0` for creative and generative tasks. Note that even with `temperature` of `0.0`, the results will not be fully deterministic. - `thinking: Optional[ThinkingConfigParam]` Configuration for enabling Claude's extended thinking. When enabled, responses include `thinking` content blocks showing Claude's thinking process before the final answer. Requires a minimum budget of 1,024 tokens and counts towards your `max_tokens` limit. See [extended thinking](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/extended-thinking) for details. - `class ThinkingConfigEnabled: …` - `budget_tokens: int` Determines how many tokens Claude can use for its internal reasoning process. Larger budgets can enable more thorough analysis for complex problems, improving response quality. Must be ≥1024 and less than `max_tokens`. See [extended thinking](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/extended-thinking) for details. - `type: Literal["enabled"]` - `"enabled"` - `display: Optional[Literal["summarized", "omitted"]]` Controls how thinking content appears in the response. When set to `summarized`, thinking is returned normally. When set to `omitted`, thinking content is redacted but a signature is returned for multi-turn continuity. Defaults to `summarized`. - `"summarized"` - `"omitted"` - `class ThinkingConfigDisabled: …` - `type: Literal["disabled"]` - `"disabled"` - `class ThinkingConfigAdaptive: …` - `type: Literal["adaptive"]` - `"adaptive"` - `display: Optional[Literal["summarized", "omitted"]]` Controls how thinking content appears in the response.

Defaults to `summarized`. - `"summarized"` - `"omitted"` - `tool_choice: Optional[ToolChoiceParam]` How the model should use the provided tools. The model can use a specific tool, any available tool, decide by itself, or not use tools at all. - `class ToolChoiceAuto: …` The model will automatically decide whether to use tools. - `type: Literal["auto"]` - `"auto"` - `disable_parallel_tool_use: Optional[bool]` Whether to disable parallel tool use. Defaults to `false`. If set to `true`, the model will output at most one tool use. - `class ToolChoiceAny: …` The model will use any available tools. - `type: Literal["any"]` - `"any"` - `disable_parallel_tool_use: Optional[bool]` Whether to disable parallel tool use. Defaults to `false`. If set to `true`, the model will output exactly one tool use. - `class ToolChoiceTool: …` The model will use the specified tool with `tool_choice.name`. - `name: str` The name of the tool to use. - `type: Literal["tool"]` - `"tool"` - `disable_parallel_tool_use: Optional[bool]` Whether to disable parallel tool use. Defaults to `false`. If set to `true`, the model will output exactly one tool use. - `class ToolChoiceNone: …` The model will not be allowed to use tools. - `type: Literal["none"]` - `"none"` - `tools: Optional[Iterable[ToolUnionParam]]` Definitions of tools that the model may use. If you include `tools` in your API request, the model may return `tool_use` content blocks that represent the model's use of those tools. You can then run those tools using the tool input generated by the model and then optionally return results back to the model using `tool_result` content blocks. There are two types of tools: **client tools** and **server tools**. The behavior described below applies to client tools. For [server tools](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/tool-use/overview#server-tools), see their individual documentation as each has its own behavior (e.g., the [web search tool](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/tool-use/web-search-tool)). Each tool definition includes: * `name`: Name of the tool. * `description`: Optional, but strongly-recommended description of the tool. * `input_schema`: [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12) for the tool `input` shape that the model will produce in `tool_use` output content blocks. For example, if you defined `tools` as: ```json [ { "name": "get_stock_price", "description": "Get the current stock price for a given ticker symbol.", "input_schema": { "type": "object", "properties": { "ticker": { "type": "string", "description": "The stock ticker symbol, e.g. AAPL for Apple Inc." } }, "required": ["ticker"] } } ] ``` And then asked the model "What's the S&P 500 at today?", the model might produce `tool_use` content blocks in the response like this: ```json [ { "type": "tool_use", "id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV", "name": "get_stock_price", "input": { "ticker": "^GSPC" } } ] ``` You might then run your `get_stock_price` tool with `{"ticker": "^GSPC"}` as an input, and return the following back to the model in a subsequent `user` message: ```json [ { "type": "tool_result", "tool_use_id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV", "content": "259.75 USD" } ] ``` Tools can be used for workflows that include running client-side tools and functions, or more generally whenever you want the model to produce a particular JSON structure of output. See our [guide](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/tool-use) for more details. - `class Tool: …` - `input_schema: InputSchema` [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12) for this tool's input. This defines the shape of the `input` that your tool accepts and that the model will produce. - `type: Literal["object"]` - `"object"` - `properties: Optional[Dict[str, object]]` - `required: Optional[List[str]]` - `name: str` Name of the tool.

The more information that the model has about what the tool is and how to use it, the better it will perform. You can use natural language descriptions to reinforce important aspects of the tool input JSON schema. - `eager_input_streaming: Optional[bool]` Enable eager input streaming for this tool. When true, tool input parameters will be streamed incrementally as they are generated, and types will be inferred on-the-fly rather than buffering the full JSON output. When false, streaming is disabled for this tool even if the fine-grained-tool-streaming beta is active. When null (default), uses the default behavior based on beta headers. - `input_examples: Optional[List[Dict[str, object]]]` - `strict: Optional[bool]` When true, guarantees schema validation on tool names and inputs - `type: Optional[Literal["custom"]]` - `"custom"` - `class ToolBash20250124: …` - `name: Literal["bash"]` Name of the tool.

Specified only if cancellation was initiated. - `created_at: datetime` RFC 3339 datetime string representing the time at which the Message Batch was created. - `ended_at: Optional[datetime]` RFC 3339 datetime string representing the time at which processing for the Message Batch ended. Specified only once processing ends. Processing ends when every request in a Message Batch has either succeeded, errored, canceled, or expired. - `expires_at: datetime` RFC 3339 datetime string representing the time at which the Message Batch will expire and end processing, which is 24 hours after creation. - `processing_status: Literal["in_progress", "canceling", "ended"]` Processing status of the Message Batch. - `"in_progress"` - `"canceling"` - `"ended"` - `request_counts: MessageBatchRequestCounts` Tallies requests within the Message Batch, categorized by their status. Requests start as `processing` and move to one of the other statuses only once processing of the entire batch ends. The sum of all values always matches the total number of requests in the batch. - `canceled: int` Number of requests in the Message Batch that have been canceled. This is zero until processing of the entire Message Batch has ended. - `errored: int` Number of requests in the Message Batch that encountered an error. This is zero until processing of the entire Message Batch has ended. - `expired: int` Number of requests in the Message Batch that have expired. This is zero until processing of the entire Message Batch has ended. - `processing: int` Number of requests in the Message Batch that are processing. - `succeeded: int` Number of requests in the Message Batch that have completed successfully. This is zero until processing of the entire Message Batch has ended. - `results_url: Optional[str]` URL to a `.jsonl` file containing the results of the Message Batch requests. Specified only once processing ends. Results in the file are not guaranteed to be in the same order as requests. Use the `custom_id` field to match results to requests. - `type: Literal["message_batch"]` Object type. For Message Batches, this is always `"message_batch"`. - `"message_batch"` ### Example ```python import os from anthropic import Anthropic client = Anthropic( api_key=os.environ.get("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"), # This is the default and can be omitted ) message_batch = client.messages.batches.cancel( "message_batch_id", ) print(message_batch.id) ``` #### Response ```json { "id": "msgbatch_013Zva2CMHLNnXjNJJKqJ2EF", "archived_at": "2024-08-20T18:37:24.100435Z", "cancel_initiated_at": "2024-08-20T18:37:24.100435Z", "created_at": "2024-08-20T18:37:24.100435Z", "ended_at": "2024-08-20T18:37:24.100435Z", "expires_at": "2024-08-20T18:37:24.100435Z", "processing_status": "in_progress", "request_counts": { "canceled": 10, "errored": 30, "expired": 10, "processing": 100, "succeeded": 50 }, "results_url": "https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages/batches/msgbatch_013Zva2CMHLNnXjNJJKqJ2EF/results", "type": "message_batch" } ``` ## Delete a Message Batch `messages.batches.delete(strmessage_batch_id) -> DeletedMessageBatch` **delete** `/v1/messages/batches/{message_batch_id}` Delete a Message Batch. Message Batches can only be deleted once they've finished processing. If you'd like to delete an in-progress batch, you must first cancel it. Learn more about the Message Batches API in our [user guide](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/batch-processing) ### Parameters - `message_batch_id: str` ID of the Message Batch. ### Returns - `class DeletedMessageBatch: …` - `id: str` ID of the Message Batch. - `type: Literal["message_batch_deleted"]` Deleted object type. For Message Batches, this is always `"message_batch_deleted"`. - `"message_batch_deleted"` ### Example ```python import os from anthropic import Anthropic client = Anthropic( api_key=os.environ.get("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"), # This is the default and can be omitted ) deleted_message_batch = client.messages.batches.delete( "message_batch_id", ) print(deleted_message_batch.id) ``` #### Response ```json { "id": "msgbatch_013Zva2CMHLNnXjNJJKqJ2EF", "type": "message_batch_deleted" } ``` ## Retrieve Message Batch results `messages.batches.results(strmessage_batch_id) -> MessageBatchIndividualResponse` **get** `/v1/messages/batches/{message_batch_id}/results` Streams the results of a Message Batch as a `.jsonl` file. Each line in the file is a JSON object containing the result of a single request in the Message Batch. Results are not guaranteed to be in the same order as requests. Use the `custom_id` field to match results to requests. Learn more about the Message Batches API in our [user guide](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/batch-processing) ### Parameters - `message_batch_id: str` ID of the Message Batch. ### Returns - `class MessageBatchIndividualResponse: …` This is a single line in the response `.jsonl` file and does not represent the response as a whole. - `custom_id: str` Developer-provided ID created for each request in a Message Batch. Useful for matching results to requests, as results may be given out of request order. Must be unique for each request within the Message Batch. - `result: MessageBatchResult` Processing result for this request. Contains a Message output if processing was successful, an error response if processing failed, or the reason why processing was not attempted, such as cancellation or expiration. - `class MessageBatchSucceededResult: …` - `message: Message` - `id: str` Unique object identifier. The format and length of IDs may change over time. - `container: Optional[Container]` Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool) - `id: str` Identifier for the container used in this request - `expires_at: datetime` The time at which the container will expire. - `content: List[ContentBlock]` Content generated by the model. This is an array of content blocks, each of which has a `type` that determines its shape. Example: ```json [{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}] ``` If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output. For example, if the input `messages` were: ```json [ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("} ] ``` Then the response `content` might be: ```json [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}] ``` - `class TextBlock: …` - `citations: Optional[List[TextCitation]]` Citations supporting the text block. The type of citation returned will depend on the type of document being cited. Citing a PDF results in `page_location`, plain text results in `char_location`, and content document results in `content_block_location`. - `class CitationCharLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` - `document_index: int` - `document_title: Optional[str]` - `end_char_index: int` - `file_id: Optional[str]` - `start_char_index: int` - `type: Literal["char_location"]` - `"char_location"` - `class CitationPageLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` - `document_index: int` - `document_title: Optional[str]` - `end_page_number: int` - `file_id: Optional[str]` - `start_page_number: int` - `type: Literal["page_location"]` - `"page_location"` - `class CitationContentBlockLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` The full text of the cited block range, concatenated. Always equals the contents of `content[start_block_index:end_block_index]` joined together. The text block is the minimal citable unit; this field is never a substring of a single block. Not counted toward output tokens, and not counted toward input tokens when sent back in subsequent turns. - `document_index: int` - `document_title: Optional[str]` - `end_block_index: int` Exclusive 0-based end index of the cited block range in the source's `content` array. Always greater than `start_block_index`; a single-block citation has `end_block_index = start_block_index + 1`. - `file_id: Optional[str]` - `start_block_index: int` 0-based index of the first cited block in the source's `content` array. - `type: Literal["content_block_location"]` - `"content_block_location"` - `class CitationsWebSearchResultLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` - `encrypted_index: str` - `title: Optional[str]` - `type: Literal["web_search_result_location"]` - `"web_search_result_location"` - `url: str` - `class CitationsSearchResultLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` The full text of the cited block range, concatenated. Always equals the contents of `content[start_block_index:end_block_index]` joined together. The text block is the minimal citable unit; this field is never a substring of a single block. Not counted toward output tokens, and not counted toward input tokens when sent back in subsequent turns. - `end_block_index: int` Exclusive 0-based end index of the cited block range in the source's `content` array. Always greater than `start_block_index`; a single-block citation has `end_block_index = start_block_index + 1`. - `search_result_index: int` 0-based index of the cited search result among all `search_result` content blocks in the request, in the order they appear across messages and tool results. Counted separately from `document_index`; server-side web search results are not included in this count. - `source: str` - `start_block_index: int` 0-based index of the first cited block in the source's `content` array. -

This will always be `"assistant"`. - `"assistant"` - `stop_details: Optional[RefusalStopDetails]` Structured information about a refusal. - `category: Optional[Literal["cyber", "bio", "reasoning_extraction"]]` The policy category that triggered the refusal. `null` when the refusal doesn't map to a named category. - `"cyber"` - `"bio"` - `"reasoning_extraction"` - `explanation: Optional[str]` Human-readable explanation of the refusal. This text is not guaranteed to be stable. `null` when no explanation is available for the category. - `type: Literal["refusal"]` - `"refusal"` - `stop_reason: Optional[StopReason]` The reason that we stopped. This may be one the following values: * `"end_turn"`: the model reached a natural stopping point * `"max_tokens"`: we exceeded the requested `max_tokens` or the model's maximum * `"stop_sequence"`: one of your provided custom `stop_sequences` was generated * `"tool_use"`: the model invoked one or more tools * `"pause_turn"`: we paused a long-running turn. You may provide the response back as-is in a subsequent request to let the model continue. * `"refusal"`: when streaming classifiers intervene to handle potential policy violations In non-streaming mode this value is always non-null. In streaming mode, it is null in the `message_start` event and non-null otherwise. - `"end_turn"` - `"max_tokens"` - `"stop_sequence"` - `"tool_use"` - `"pause_turn"` - `"refusal"` - `stop_sequence: Optional[str]` Which custom stop sequence was generated, if any. This value will be a non-null string if one of your custom stop sequences was generated. - `type: Literal["message"]` Object type. For Messages, this is always `"message"`. - `"message"` - `usage: Usage` Billing and rate-limit usage. Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems. Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response. For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude. Total input tokens in a request is the summation of `input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and `cache_read_input_tokens`. - `cache_creation: Optional[CacheCreation]` Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL - `ephemeral_1h_input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens used to create the 1 hour cache entry. - `ephemeral_5m_input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens used to create the 5 minute cache entry. - `cache_creation_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The number of input tokens used to create the cache entry. - `cache_read_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The number of input tokens read from the cache. - `inference_geo: Optional[str]` The geographic region where inference was performed for this request. - `input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens which were used. - `output_tokens: int` The number of output tokens which were used. - `output_tokens_details: Optional[OutputTokensDetails]` Breakdown of output tokens by category. `output_tokens` remains the inclusive, authoritative total used for billing. This object provides a read-only decomposition for observability — for example, how many of the billed output tokens were spent on internal reasoning that may have been summarized before being returned to you. - `thinking_tokens: int` Number of output tokens the model generated as internal reasoning, including the thinking-block delimiter tokens. Reflects the raw reasoning the model produced, not the (possibly shorter) summarized thinking text returned in the response body. Computed by re-tokenizing the raw reasoning text, so it may differ from the model's exact generation count by a small number of tokens. Always ≤ `output_tokens`; `output_tokens - thinking_tokens` approximates the non-reasoning output. - `server_tool_use: Optional[ServerToolUsage]` The number of server tool requests. - `web_fetch_requests: int` The number of web fetch tool requests. - `web_search_requests: int` The number of web search tool requests. - `service_tier: Optional[Literal["standard", "priority", "batch"]]` If the request used the priority, standard, or batch tier. - `"standard"` - `"priority"` - `"batch"` - `type: Literal["succeeded"]` - `"succeeded"` - `class MessageBatchErroredResult: …` - `error: ErrorResponse` - `error: ErrorObject` - `class InvalidRequestError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["invalid_request_error"]` - `"invalid_request_error"` - `class AuthenticationError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["authentication_error"]` - `"authentication_error"` - `class BillingError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["billing_error"]` - `"billing_error"` - `class PermissionError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["permission_error"]` - `"permission_error"` - `class NotFoundError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["not_found_error"]` - `"not_found_error"` - `class RateLimitError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["rate_limit_error"]` - `"rate_limit_error"` - `class GatewayTimeoutError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["timeout_error"]` - `"timeout_error"` - `class APIErrorObject: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["api_error"]` - `"api_error"` - `class OverloadedError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["overloaded_error"]` - `"overloaded_error"` - `request_id: Optional[str]` - `type: Literal["error"]` - `"error"` - `type: Literal["errored"]` - `"errored"` - `class MessageBatchCanceledResult: …` - `type: Literal["canceled"]` - `"canceled"` - `class MessageBatchExpiredResult: …` - `type: Literal["expired"]` - `"expired"` ### Example ```python import os from anthropic import Anthropic client = Anthropic( api_key=os.environ.get("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"), # This is the default and can be omitted ) for batch in client.messages.batches.results( "message_batch_id", ): print(batch) ``` ## Domain Types ### Deleted Message Batch - `class DeletedMessageBatch: …` - `id: str` ID of the Message Batch. - `type: Literal["message_batch_deleted"]` Deleted object type.

Useful for matching results to requests, as results may be given out of request order. Must be unique for each request within the Message Batch. - `result: MessageBatchResult` Processing result for this request. Contains a Message output if processing was successful, an error response if processing failed, or the reason why processing was not attempted, such as cancellation or expiration. - `class MessageBatchSucceededResult: …` - `message: Message` - `id: str` Unique object identifier. The format and length of IDs may change over time. - `container: Optional[Container]` Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool) - `id: str` Identifier for the container used in this request - `expires_at: datetime` The time at which the container will expire. - `content: List[ContentBlock]` Content generated by the model. This is an array of content blocks, each of which has a `type` that determines its shape. Example: ```json [{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}] ``` If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output. For example, if the input `messages` were: ```json [ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("} ] ``` Then the response `content` might be: ```json [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}] ``` - `class TextBlock: …` - `citations: Optional[List[TextCitation]]` Citations supporting the text block. The type of citation returned will depend on the type of document being cited.

Always equals the contents of `content[start_block_index:end_block_index]` joined together. The text block is the minimal citable unit; this field is never a substring of a single block. Not counted toward output tokens, and not counted toward input tokens when sent back in subsequent turns. - `document_index: int` - `document_title: Optional[str]` - `end_block_index: int` Exclusive 0-based end index of the cited block range in the source's `content` array. Always greater than `start_block_index`; a single-block citation has `end_block_index = start_block_index + 1`. - `file_id: Optional[str]` - `start_block_index: int` 0-based index of the first cited block in the source's `content` array. - `type: Literal["content_block_location"]` - `"content_block_location"` - `class CitationsWebSearchResultLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` - `encrypted_index: str` - `title: Optional[str]` - `type: Literal["web_search_result_location"]` - `"web_search_result_location"` - `url: str` - `class CitationsSearchResultLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` The full text of the cited block range, concatenated.

This text is not guaranteed to be stable. `null` when no explanation is available for the category. - `type: Literal["refusal"]` - `"refusal"` - `stop_reason: Optional[StopReason]` The reason that we stopped. This may be one the following values: * `"end_turn"`: the model reached a natural stopping point * `"max_tokens"`: we exceeded the requested `max_tokens` or the model's maximum * `"stop_sequence"`: one of your provided custom `stop_sequences` was generated * `"tool_use"`: the model invoked one or more tools * `"pause_turn"`: we paused a long-running turn. You may provide the response back as-is in a subsequent request to let the model continue. * `"refusal"`: when streaming classifiers intervene to handle potential policy violations In non-streaming mode this value is always non-null. In streaming mode, it is null in the `message_start` event and non-null otherwise. - `"end_turn"` - `"max_tokens"` - `"stop_sequence"` - `"tool_use"` - `"pause_turn"` - `"refusal"` - `stop_sequence: Optional[str]` Which custom stop sequence was generated, if any. This value will be a non-null string if one of your custom stop sequences was generated. - `type: Literal["message"]` Object type. For Messages, this is always `"message"`. - `"message"` - `usage: Usage` Billing and rate-limit usage. Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems. Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response. For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude. Total input tokens in a request is the summation of `input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and `cache_read_input_tokens`. - `cache_creation: Optional[CacheCreation]` Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL - `ephemeral_1h_input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens used to create the 1 hour cache entry. - `ephemeral_5m_input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens used to create the 5 minute cache entry. - `cache_creation_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The number of input tokens used to create the cache entry. - `cache_read_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The number of input tokens read from the cache. - `inference_geo: Optional[str]` The geographic region where inference was performed for this request. - `input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens which were used. - `output_tokens: int` The number of output tokens which were used. - `output_tokens_details: Optional[OutputTokensDetails]` Breakdown of output tokens by category. `output_tokens` remains the inclusive, authoritative total used for billing. This object provides a read-only decomposition for observability — for example, how many of the billed output tokens were spent on internal reasoning that may have been summarized before being returned to you. - `thinking_tokens: int` Number of output tokens the model generated as internal reasoning, including the thinking-block delimiter tokens. Reflects the raw reasoning the model produced, not the (possibly shorter) summarized thinking text returned in the response body. Computed by re-tokenizing the raw reasoning text, so it may differ from the model's exact generation count by a small number of tokens. Always ≤ `output_tokens`; `output_tokens - thinking_tokens` approximates the non-reasoning output. - `server_tool_use: Optional[ServerToolUsage]` The number of server tool requests. - `web_fetch_requests: int` The number of web fetch tool requests. - `web_search_requests: int` The number of web search tool requests. - `service_tier: Optional[Literal["standard", "priority", "batch"]]` If the request used the priority, standard, or batch tier. - `"standard"` - `"priority"` - `"batch"` - `type: Literal["succeeded"]` - `"succeeded"` - `class MessageBatchErroredResult: …` - `error: ErrorResponse` - `error: ErrorObject` - `class InvalidRequestError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["invalid_request_error"]` - `"invalid_request_error"` - `class AuthenticationError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["authentication_error"]` - `"authentication_error"` - `class BillingError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["billing_error"]` - `"billing_error"` - `class PermissionError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["permission_error"]` - `"permission_error"` - `class NotFoundError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["not_found_error"]` - `"not_found_error"` - `class RateLimitError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["rate_limit_error"]` - `"rate_limit_error"` - `class GatewayTimeoutError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["timeout_error"]` - `"timeout_error"` - `class APIErrorObject: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["api_error"]` - `"api_error"` - `class OverloadedError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["overloaded_error"]` - `"overloaded_error"` - `request_id: Optional[str]` - `type: Literal["error"]` - `"error"` - `type: Literal["errored"]` - `"errored"` - `class MessageBatchCanceledResult: …` - `type: Literal["canceled"]` - `"canceled"` - `class MessageBatchExpiredResult: …` - `type: Literal["expired"]` - `"expired"` ### Message Batch Request Counts - `class MessageBatchRequestCounts: …` - `canceled: int` Number of requests in the Message Batch that have been canceled. This is zero until processing of the entire Message Batch has ended. - `errored: int` Number of requests in the Message Batch that encountered an error. This is zero until processing of the entire Message Batch has ended. - `expired: int` Number of requests in the Message Batch that have expired. This is zero until processing of the entire Message Batch has ended. - `processing: int` Number of requests in the Message Batch that are processing. - `succeeded: int` Number of requests in the Message Batch that have completed successfully. This is zero until processing of the entire Message Batch has ended. ### Message Batch Result - `MessageBatchResult` Processing result for this request. Contains a Message output if processing was successful, an error response if processing failed, or the reason why processing was not attempted, such as cancellation or expiration. - `class MessageBatchSucceededResult: …` - `message: Message` - `id: str` Unique object identifier. The format and length of IDs may change over time. - `container: Optional[Container]` Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool) - `id: str` Identifier for the container used in this request - `expires_at: datetime` The time at which the container will expire. - `content: List[ContentBlock]` Content generated by the model. This is an array of content blocks, each of which has a `type` that determines its shape. Example: ```json [{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}] ``` If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output. For example, if the input `messages` were: ```json [ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("} ] ``` Then the response `content` might be: ```json [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}] ``` - `class TextBlock: …` - `citations: Optional[List[TextCitation]]` Citations supporting the text block. The type of citation returned will depend on the type of document being cited.

This text is not guaranteed to be stable. `null` when no explanation is available for the category. - `type: Literal["refusal"]` - `"refusal"` - `stop_reason: Optional[StopReason]` The reason that we stopped. This may be one the following values: * `"end_turn"`: the model reached a natural stopping point * `"max_tokens"`: we exceeded the requested `max_tokens` or the model's maximum * `"stop_sequence"`: one of your provided custom `stop_sequences` was generated * `"tool_use"`: the model invoked one or more tools * `"pause_turn"`: we paused a long-running turn. You may provide the response back as-is in a subsequent request to let the model continue. * `"refusal"`: when streaming classifiers intervene to handle potential policy violations In non-streaming mode this value is always non-null.

This value will be a non-null string if one of your custom stop sequences was generated. - `type: Literal["message"]` Object type. For Messages, this is always `"message"`. - `"message"` - `usage: Usage` Billing and rate-limit usage. Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems. Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response. For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude. Total input tokens in a request is the summation of `input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and `cache_read_input_tokens`. - `cache_creation: Optional[CacheCreation]` Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL - `ephemeral_1h_input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens used to create the 1 hour cache entry. - `ephemeral_5m_input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens used to create the 5 minute cache entry. - `cache_creation_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The number of input tokens used to create the cache entry. - `cache_read_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The number of input tokens read from the cache. - `inference_geo: Optional[str]` The geographic region where inference was performed for this request. - `input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens which were used. - `output_tokens: int` The number of output tokens which were used. - `output_tokens_details: Optional[OutputTokensDetails]` Breakdown of output tokens by category. `output_tokens` remains the inclusive, authoritative total used for billing. This object provides a read-only decomposition for observability — for example, how many of the billed output tokens were spent on internal reasoning that may have been summarized before being returned to you. - `thinking_tokens: int` Number of output tokens the model generated as internal reasoning, including the thinking-block delimiter tokens. Reflects the raw reasoning the model produced, not the (possibly shorter) summarized thinking text returned in the response body. Computed by re-tokenizing the raw reasoning text, so it may differ from the model's exact generation count by a small number of tokens. Always ≤ `output_tokens`; `output_tokens - thinking_tokens` approximates the non-reasoning output. - `server_tool_use: Optional[ServerToolUsage]` The number of server tool requests. - `web_fetch_requests: int` The number of web fetch tool requests. - `web_search_requests: int` The number of web search tool requests. - `service_tier: Optional[Literal["standard", "priority", "batch"]]` If the request used the priority, standard, or batch tier. - `"standard"` - `"priority"` - `"batch"` - `type: Literal["succeeded"]` - `"succeeded"` - `class MessageBatchErroredResult: …` - `error: ErrorResponse` - `error: ErrorObject` - `class InvalidRequestError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["invalid_request_error"]` - `"invalid_request_error"` - `class AuthenticationError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["authentication_error"]` - `"authentication_error"` - `class BillingError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["billing_error"]` - `"billing_error"` - `class PermissionError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["permission_error"]` - `"permission_error"` - `class NotFoundError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["not_found_error"]` - `"not_found_error"` - `class RateLimitError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["rate_limit_error"]` - `"rate_limit_error"` - `class GatewayTimeoutError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["timeout_error"]` - `"timeout_error"` - `class APIErrorObject: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["api_error"]` - `"api_error"` - `class OverloadedError: …` - `message: str` - `type: Literal["overloaded_error"]` - `"overloaded_error"` - `request_id: Optional[str]` - `type: Literal["error"]` - `"error"` - `type: Literal["errored"]` - `"errored"` - `class MessageBatchCanceledResult: …` - `type: Literal["canceled"]` - `"canceled"` - `class MessageBatchExpiredResult: …` - `type: Literal["expired"]` - `"expired"` ### Message Batch Succeeded Result - `class MessageBatchSucceededResult: …` - `message: Message` - `id: str` Unique object identifier.

Example: ```json [{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}] ``` If the request input `messages` ended with an `assistant` turn, then the response `content` will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output. For example, if the input `messages` were: ```json [ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("} ] ``` Then the response `content` might be: ```json [{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}] ``` - `class TextBlock: …` - `citations: Optional[List[TextCitation]]` Citations supporting the text block. The type of citation returned will depend on the type of document being cited. Citing a PDF results in `page_location`, plain text results in `char_location`, and content document results in `content_block_location`. - `class CitationCharLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` - `document_index: int` - `document_title: Optional[str]` - `end_char_index: int` - `file_id: Optional[str]` - `start_char_index: int` - `type: Literal["char_location"]` - `"char_location"` - `class CitationPageLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` - `document_index: int` - `document_title: Optional[str]` - `end_page_number: int` - `file_id: Optional[str]` - `start_page_number: int` - `type: Literal["page_location"]` - `"page_location"` - `class CitationContentBlockLocation: …` - `cited_text: str` The full text of the cited block range, concatenated.

This will always be `"assistant"`. - `"assistant"` - `stop_details: Optional[RefusalStopDetails]` Structured information about a refusal. - `category: Optional[Literal["cyber", "bio", "reasoning_extraction"]]` The policy category that triggered the refusal. `null` when the refusal doesn't map to a named category. - `"cyber"` - `"bio"` - `"reasoning_extraction"` - `explanation: Optional[str]` Human-readable explanation of the refusal. This text is not guaranteed to be stable. `null` when no explanation is available for the category. - `type: Literal["refusal"]` - `"refusal"` - `stop_reason: Optional[StopReason]` The reason that we stopped. This may be one the following values: * `"end_turn"`: the model reached a natural stopping point * `"max_tokens"`: we exceeded the requested `max_tokens` or the model's maximum * `"stop_sequence"`: one of your provided custom `stop_sequences` was generated * `"tool_use"`: the model invoked one or more tools * `"pause_turn"`: we paused a long-running turn. You may provide the response back as-is in a subsequent request to let the model continue. * `"refusal"`: when streaming classifiers intervene to handle potential policy violations In non-streaming mode this value is always non-null. In streaming mode, it is null in the `message_start` event and non-null otherwise. - `"end_turn"` - `"max_tokens"` - `"stop_sequence"` - `"tool_use"` - `"pause_turn"` - `"refusal"` - `stop_sequence: Optional[str]` Which custom stop sequence was generated, if any. This value will be a non-null string if one of your custom stop sequences was generated. - `type: Literal["message"]` Object type. For Messages, this is always `"message"`. - `"message"` - `usage: Usage` Billing and rate-limit usage. Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems. Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in `usage` will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response. For example, `output_tokens` will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude. Total input tokens in a request is the summation of `input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and `cache_read_input_tokens`. - `cache_creation: Optional[CacheCreation]` Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL - `ephemeral_1h_input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens used to create the 1 hour cache entry. - `ephemeral_5m_input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens used to create the 5 minute cache entry. - `cache_creation_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The number of input tokens used to create the cache entry. - `cache_read_input_tokens: Optional[int]` The number of input tokens read from the cache. - `inference_geo: Optional[str]` The geographic region where inference was performed for this request. - `input_tokens: int` The number of input tokens which were used. - `output_tokens: int` The number of output tokens which were used. - `output_tokens_details: Optional[OutputTokensDetails]` Breakdown of output tokens by category. `output_tokens` remains the inclusive, authoritative total used for billing. This object provides a read-only decomposition for observability — for example, how many of the billed output tokens were spent on internal reasoning that may have been summarized before being returned to you. - `thinking_tokens: int` Number of output tokens the model generated as internal reasoning, including the thinking-block delimiter tokens. Reflects the raw reasoning the model produced, not the (possibly shorter) summarized thinking text returned in the response body. Computed by re-tokenizing the raw reasoning text, so it may differ from the model's exact generation count by a small number of tokens. Always ≤ `output_tokens`; `output_tokens - thinking_tokens` approximates the non-reasoning output. - `server_tool_use: Optional[ServerToolUsage]` The number of server tool requests. - `web_fetch_requests: int` The number of web fetch tool requests. - `web_search_requests: int` The number of web search tool requests. - `service_tier: Optional[Literal["standard", "priority", "batch"]]` If the request used the priority, standard, or batch tier. - `"standard"` - `"priority"` - `"batch"` - `type: Literal["succeeded"]` - `"succeeded"`
