# Client SDKs¶

Official SDKs for building with the Claude API in Python, TypeScript, Java, Go, Ruby, C#, and PHP.¶

---¶

Anthropic provides official client SDKs in multiple languages to make it easier to work with the Claude API. Each SDK provides idiomatic interfaces, type safety, and built-in support for features like streaming, retries, and error handling.¶

## Platform support¶

All SDKs support multiple deployment options:¶

| Platform | Description |¶
|----------|-------------|¶
| Claude API | Connect directly to Claude API endpoints |¶
| [Amazon Bedrock](/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-on-amazon-bedrock) | Use Claude through AWS |¶
| [Google Vertex AI](/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-on-vertex-ai) | Use Claude through Google Cloud |¶
| [Microsoft Foundry](/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-in-microsoft-foundry) | Use Claude through Microsoft Azure |¶

See individual SDK pages for platform-specific setup instructions.¶

## Beta features¶

Access beta features using the `beta` namespace in any SDK:¶

)¶
```¶

```typescript TypeScript nocheck

model: "claude-opus-4-6",¶
max_tokens: 1024,¶
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],¶
betas: ["feature-name"]¶
});¶
```¶
