使用 Claude 构建

使用 Messages API

有效使用 Messages API 的实用模式和示例

本指南涵盖了使用 Messages API 的常见模式，包括基本请求、多轮对话、预填充技术和视觉功能。有关完整的 API 规范，请参阅 Messages API 参考。

基本请求和响应

#!/bin/sh
curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages \
     --header "x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
     --header "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
     --header "content-type: application/json" \
     --data \
'{
    "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
    "max_tokens": 1024,
    "messages": [
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"}
    ]
}'

JSON

{
  "id": "msg_01XFDUDYJgAACzvnptvVoYEL",
  "type": "message",
  "role": "assistant",
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "Hello!"
    }
  ],
  "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
  "stop_reason": "end_turn",
  "stop_sequence": null,
  "usage": {
    "input_tokens": 12,
    "output_tokens": 6
  }
}

多轮对话

Messages API 是无状态的，这意味着您始终将完整的对话历史发送到 API。您可以使用此模式随时间推移建立对话。早期的对话轮次不一定需要实际来自 Claude — 您可以使用合成的 assistant 消息。

#!/bin/sh
curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages \
     --header "x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
     --header "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
     --header "content-type: application/json" \
     --data \
'{
    "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
    "max_tokens": 1024,
    "messages": [
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"},
        {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hello!"},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Can you describe LLMs to me?"}

    ]
}'

JSON

{
    "id": "msg_018gCsTGsXkYJVqYPxTgDHBU",
    "type": "message",
    "role": "assistant",
    "content": [
        {
            "type": "text",
            "text": "Sure, I'd be happy to provide..."
        }
    ],
    "stop_reason": "end_turn",
    "stop_sequence": null,
    "usage": {
      "input_tokens": 30,
      "output_tokens": 309
    }
}

为 Claude 的回复预填充内容

您可以在输入消息列表的最后位置预填充 Claude 响应的一部分。这可用于塑造 Claude 的响应。下面的示例使用 "max_tokens": 1 从 Claude 获取单个多选答案。

#!/bin/sh
curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages \
     --header "x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
     --header "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
     --header "content-type: application/json" \
     --data \
'{
    "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
    "max_tokens": 1,
    "messages": [
        {"role": "user", "content": "What is latin for Ant? (A) Apoidea, (B) Rhopalocera, (C) Formicidae"},
        {"role": "assistant", "content": "The answer is ("}
    ]
}'

JSON

{
  "id": "msg_01Q8Faay6S7QPTvEUUQARt7h",
  "type": "message",
  "role": "assistant",
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "C"
    }
  ],
  "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
  "stop_reason": "max_tokens",
  "stop_sequence": null,
  "usage": {
    "input_tokens": 42,
    "output_tokens": 1
  }
}

视觉

Claude 可以在请求中读取文本和图像。我们支持图像的 base64 和 url 源类型，以及 image/jpeg、image/png、image/gif 和 image/webp 媒体类型。有关更多详细信息，请参阅我们的视觉指南。
