# Messages
## Create
`$ ant messages create`
**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: number`
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.
Different models have different maximum values for this parameter. See [models](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/models-overview) for details.
- `--message: array of 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.
- `--model: "claude-opus-4-7" or "claude-mythos-preview" or "claude-opus-4-6" or 14 more or string`
The model that will complete your prompt.
See [models](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/models-overview) for additional details and options.
- `--cache-control: optional object { type, ttl }`
Top-level cache control automatically applies a cache_control marker to the last cacheable block in the request.
- `--container: optional string`
Container identifier for reuse across requests.
- `--inference-geo: optional string`
Specifies the geographic region for inference processing. If not specified, the workspace's `default_inference_geo` is used.
- `--metadata: optional object { user_id }`
An object describing metadata about the request.
- `--output-config: optional object { effort, format }`
Configuration options for the model's output, such as the output format.
- `--service-tier: optional "auto" or "standard_only"`
Determines whether to use priority capacity (if available) or standard capacity for this request.
Anthropic offers different levels of service for your API requests. See [service-tiers](https://docs.claude.com/en/api/service-tiers) for details.
- `--stop-sequence: optional array of string`
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.
- `--system: optional string or array of 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).
- `--temperature: optional number`
Amount of randomness injected into the response.
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 ThinkingConfigEnabled or ThinkingConfigDisabled or ThinkingConfigAdaptive`
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.
- `--tool-choice: optional ToolChoiceAuto or ToolChoiceAny or ToolChoiceTool or ToolChoiceNone`
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.
- `--tool: optional array of ToolUnion`
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.
- `--top-k: optional number`
Only sample from the top K options for each subsequent token.
Used to remove "long tail" low probability responses. [Learn more technical details here](https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-sample-from-language-models-682bceb97277).
Recommended for advanced use cases only. You usually only need to use `temperature`.
- `--top-p: optional number`
Use nucleus sampling.
In nucleus sampling, we compute the cumulative distribution over all the options for each subsequent token in decreasing probability order and cut it off once it reaches a particular probability specified by `top_p`. You should either alter `temperature` or `top_p`, but not both.
Recommended for advanced use cases only. You usually only need to use `temperature`.
### Returns
- `message: object { id, container, content, 7 more }`
- `id: string`
Unique object identifier.
The format and length of IDs may change over time.
- `container: object { id, expires_at }`
Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool)
- `id: string`
Identifier for the container used in this request
- `expires_at: string`
The time at which the container will expire.
- `content: array of 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)"}]
```
- `text_block: object { citations, text, type }`
- `citations: array of 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`.

- `role: "assistant"`
Conversational role of the generated message.
This will always be `"assistant"`.
- `stop_details: object { category, explanation, type }`
Structured information about a refusal.
- `category: "cyber" or "bio"`
The policy category that triggered the refusal.
`null` when the refusal doesn't map to a named category.
- `"cyber"`
- `"bio"`
- `explanation: string`
Human-readable explanation of the refusal.
This text is not guaranteed to be stable. `null` when no explanation is available for the category.
- `type: "refusal"`
- `stop_reason: "end_turn" or "max_tokens" or "stop_sequence" or 3 more`
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.

- `"max_tokens"`
- `"stop_sequence"`
- `"tool_use"`
- `"pause_turn"`
- `"refusal"`
- `stop_sequence: string`
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: "message"`
Object type.
For Messages, this is always `"message"`.
- `usage: object { cache_creation, cache_creation_input_tokens, cache_read_input_tokens, 5 more }`
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`.

```
## Count Tokens
`$ ant messages count-tokens`
**post** `/v1/messages/count_tokens`
Count the number of tokens in a Message.
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
- `--message: array of 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.
- `--model: "claude-opus-4-7" or "claude-mythos-preview" or "claude-opus-4-6" or 14 more or string`
The model that will complete your prompt.
See [models](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/models-overview) for additional details and options.
- `--cache-control: optional object { type, ttl }`
Top-level cache control automatically applies a cache_control marker to the last cacheable block in the request.
- `--output-config: optional object { effort, format }`
Configuration options for the model's output, such as the output format.
- `--system: optional string or array of 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).
- `--thinking: optional ThinkingConfigEnabled or ThinkingConfigDisabled or ThinkingConfigAdaptive`
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.
- `--tool-choice: optional ToolChoiceAuto or ToolChoiceAny or ToolChoiceTool or ToolChoiceNone`
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.
- `--tool: optional array of MessageCountTokensTool`
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.

- `usage: object { cache_creation, cache_creation_input_tokens, cache_read_input_tokens, 5 more }`
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: object { ephemeral_1h_input_tokens, ephemeral_5m_input_tokens }`

Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool)
- `id: string`
Identifier for the container used in this request
- `expires_at: string`
The time at which the container will expire.
- `stop_details: object { category, explanation, type }`
Structured information about a refusal.
- `category: "cyber" or "bio"`
The policy category that triggered the refusal.
`null` when the refusal doesn't map to a named category.
- `"cyber"`
- `"bio"`

- `stop_sequence: string`
- `type: "message_delta"`
- `usage: object { cache_creation_input_tokens, cache_read_input_tokens, input_tokens, 2 more }`
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: number`
The cumulative number of input tokens used to create the cache entry.
- `cache_read_input_tokens: number`
The cumulative number of input tokens read from the cache.
- `input_tokens: number`
The cumulative number of input tokens which were used.
- `output_tokens: number`
The cumulative number of output tokens which were used.
- `server_tool_use: object { web_fetch_requests, web_search_requests }`
The number of server tool requests.
- `web_fetch_requests: number`
The number of web fetch tool requests.
- `web_search_requests: number`
The number of web search tool requests.
### Raw Message Start Event
- `raw_message_start_event: object { message, type }`
- `message: object { id, container, content, 7 more }`
- `id: string`
Unique object identifier.
The format and length of IDs may change over time.
- `container: object { id, expires_at }`
Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool)
- `id: string`
Identifier for the container used in this request
- `expires_at: string`
The time at which the container will expire.
- `content: array of 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)"}]
```
- `text_block: object { citations, text, type }`
- `citations: array of 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`.
- `citation_char_location: object { cited_text, document_index, document_title, 4 more }`
- `cited_text: string`
- `document_index: number`
- `document_title: string`

- `role: "assistant"`
Conversational role of the generated message.
This will always be `"assistant"`.
- `stop_details: object { category, explanation, type }`
Structured information about a refusal.
- `category: "cyber" or "bio"`
The policy category that triggered the refusal.
`null` when the refusal doesn't map to a named category.
- `"cyber"`
- `"bio"`
- `explanation: string`
Human-readable explanation of the refusal.
This text is not guaranteed to be stable. `null` when no explanation is available for the category.
- `type: "refusal"`
- `stop_reason: "end_turn" or "max_tokens" or "stop_sequence" or 3 more`
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: string`
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: "message"`
Object type.
For Messages, this is always `"message"`.
- `usage: object { cache_creation, cache_creation_input_tokens, cache_read_input_tokens, 5 more }`
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: object { ephemeral_1h_input_tokens, ephemeral_5m_input_tokens }`
Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL
- `ephemeral_1h_input_tokens: number`
The number of input tokens used to create the 1 hour cache entry.
- `ephemeral_5m_input_tokens: number`
The number of input tokens used to create the 5 minute cache entry.
- `cache_creation_input_tokens: number`
The number of input tokens used to create the cache entry.
- `cache_read_input_tokens: number`
The number of input tokens read from the cache.
- `inference_geo: string`
The geographic region where inference was performed for this request.
- `input_tokens: number`
The number of input tokens which were used.
- `output_tokens: number`
The number of output tokens which were used.
- `server_tool_use: object { web_fetch_requests, web_search_requests }`
The number of server tool requests.
- `web_fetch_requests: number`
The number of web fetch tool requests.
- `web_search_requests: number`
The number of web search tool requests.
- `service_tier: "standard" or "priority" or "batch"`
If the request used the priority, standard, or batch tier.
- `"standard"`
- `"priority"`
- `"batch"`
- `type: "message_start"`
### Raw Message Stop Event
- `raw_message_stop_event: object { type }`
- `type: "message_stop"`
### Raw Message Stream Event
- `raw_message_stream_event: RawMessageStartEvent or RawMessageDeltaEvent or RawMessageStopEvent or 3 more`
- `raw_message_start_event: object { message, type }`
- `message: object { id, container, content, 7 more }`
- `id: string`
Unique object identifier.
The format and length of IDs may change over time.
- `container: object { id, expires_at }`
Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool)
- `id: string`
Identifier for the container used in this request
- `expires_at: string`
The time at which the container will expire.
- `content: array of 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)"}]
```
- `text_block: object { citations, text, type }`
- `citations: array of 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`.
- `citation_char_location: object { cited_text, document_index, document_title, 4 more }`
- `cited_text: string`

- `usage: object { cache_creation, cache_creation_input_tokens, cache_read_input_tokens, 5 more }`
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`.

# Batches
## Create
`$ ant messages:batches create`
**post** `/v1/messages/batches`
Send a batch of Message creation requests.
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.

- `result: MessageBatchSucceededResult or MessageBatchErroredResult or MessageBatchCanceledResult or MessageBatchExpiredResult`
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.
- `message_batch_succeeded_result: object { message, type }`
- `message: object { id, container, content, 7 more }`
- `id: string`
Unique object identifier.
The format and length of IDs may change over time.
- `container: object { id, expires_at }`
Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool)
- `id: string`
Identifier for the container used in this request
- `expires_at: string`
The time at which the container will expire.
- `content: array of 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)"}]
```
- `text_block: object { citations, text, type }`
- `citations: array of TextCitation`

- `usage: object { cache_creation, cache_creation_input_tokens, cache_read_input_tokens, 5 more }`
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`.

[{"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)"}]
```

- `usage: object { cache_creation, cache_creation_input_tokens, cache_read_input_tokens, 5 more }`
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`.

### Message Batch Request Counts
- `message_batch_request_counts: object { canceled, errored, expired, 2 more }`
- `canceled: number`
Number of requests in the Message Batch that have been canceled.
This is zero until processing of the entire Message Batch has ended.
- `errored: number`
Number of requests in the Message Batch that encountered an error.
This is zero until processing of the entire Message Batch has ended.
- `expired: number`
Number of requests in the Message Batch that have expired.
This is zero until processing of the entire Message Batch has ended.
- `processing: number`
Number of requests in the Message Batch that are processing.
- `succeeded: number`
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
- `message_batch_result: MessageBatchSucceededResult or MessageBatchErroredResult or MessageBatchCanceledResult or MessageBatchExpiredResult`
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.
- `message_batch_succeeded_result: object { message, type }`

Identifier for the container used in this request
- `expires_at: string`
The time at which the container will expire.
- `content: array of 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)"}]
```

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.

- `usage: object { cache_creation, cache_creation_input_tokens, cache_read_input_tokens, 5 more }`
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: object { ephemeral_1h_input_tokens, ephemeral_5m_input_tokens }`

The number of input tokens used to create the cache entry.
- `cache_read_input_tokens: number`
The number of input tokens read from the cache.
- `inference_geo: string`

### Message Batch Succeeded Result
- `message_batch_succeeded_result: object { message, type }`
- `message: object { id, container, content, 7 more }`
- `id: string`
Unique object identifier.
The format and length of IDs may change over time.
- `container: object { id, expires_at }`
Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool)
- `id: string`
Identifier for the container used in this request
- `expires_at: string`
The time at which the container will expire.
- `content: array of 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)"}]
```
- `text_block: object { citations, text, type }`
- `citations: array of TextCitation`

Fast and cost-effective model
- `role: "assistant"`
Conversational role of the generated message.
This will always be `"assistant"`.
- `stop_details: object { category, explanation, type }`
Structured information about a refusal.
- `category: "cyber" or "bio"`
The policy category that triggered the refusal.
`null` when the refusal doesn't map to a named category.
- `"cyber"`
- `"bio"`
- `explanation: string`
Human-readable explanation of the refusal.
This text is not guaranteed to be stable. `null` when no explanation is available for the category.
- `type: "refusal"`
- `stop_reason: "end_turn" or "max_tokens" or "stop_sequence" or 3 more`
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: string`
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: "message"`
Object type.
For Messages, this is always `"message"`.
- `usage: object { cache_creation, cache_creation_input_tokens, cache_read_input_tokens, 5 more }`
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: object { ephemeral_1h_input_tokens, ephemeral_5m_input_tokens }`
Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL
- `ephemeral_1h_input_tokens: number`
The number of input tokens used to create the 1 hour cache entry.
- `ephemeral_5m_input_tokens: number`
The number of input tokens used to create the 5 minute cache entry.
- `cache_creation_input_tokens: number`
The number of input tokens used to create the cache entry.
- `cache_read_input_tokens: number`
The number of input tokens read from the cache.
- `inference_geo: string`
The geographic region where inference was performed for this request.
- `input_tokens: number`
The number of input tokens which were used.
- `output_tokens: number`
The number of output tokens which were used.
- `server_tool_use: object { web_fetch_requests, web_search_requests }`
The number of server tool requests.
- `web_fetch_requests: number`
The number of web fetch tool requests.
- `web_search_requests: number`
The number of web search tool requests.
- `service_tier: "standard" or "priority" or "batch"`
If the request used the priority, standard, or batch tier.
- `"standard"`
