Anthropic Claude AI

Integrate Anthropic Claude AI models into Delphi applications. Chat completions with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Haiku, and Opus.

TsgcHTTP_API_Anthropic

Anthropic REST API client for Claude Messages, Files, Batches and token counting.

Component class

TsgcHTTP_API_Anthropic

Protocol

Anthropic REST API over HTTPS

Platforms

Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android

Edition

Enterprise (AI add-on)

Drop the component, set a few properties, go

Set the API key in AnthropicOptions, then call typed helper methods such as _CreateMessage or build a TsgcAnthropicClass_Request_Messages and call CreateMessage.

What's inside

5 properties, 7 public methods and 2 events. Typed request / response classes for Messages, Files and Batches.

Messages

CreateMessage sends a typed TsgcAnthropicClass_Request_Messages and returns a parsed response. _CreateMessage, _CreateMessageWithSystem, _CreateMessageStream and _CreateMessageWithThinking are JSON-string shortcuts.

Helper methods _CreateVisionMessage (image base64), _CreateDocumentMessage (PDF base64) and _CreateMessageWithWebSearch wrap the multimodal and Claude server-side tools.

Tool use & structured output

Build TsgcAnthropicClass_Request_Tool entries to expose function-calling tools to Claude. _CreateMessageJSON applies an inline JSON schema for structured outputs.

Files API

UploadFile, ListFiles, DeleteFile and helpers _GetFile, _DownloadFile manage attachments through the Anthropic Files endpoint.

Batches API

ListBatches, CancelBatch and helpers _GetBatch, _GetBatchResults drive the Message Batches workflow for high-volume offline processing.

Reliability & diagnostics

CircuitBreaker short-circuits requests when the API is unhealthy; ReadTimeout and TLSOptions tune the HTTPS layer; OnHTTPAPIException surfaces failures; OnHTTPAPISSE streams server-sent events.
