# Anthropix
Anthropix is an open-source Elixir client for the Anthropic API, providing a simple and convenient way to integrate Claude, Anthropic's powerful language model, into your applications.
- ✅ API client fully implementing the [Anthropic API](https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/reference/getting-started-with-the-api)
- 🧰 Tool use (function calling)
- 🧠 Extended thinking
- ⚡ Prompt caching
- 📦 Message batching
- 🛜 Streaming API requests
- Stream to an Enumerable
- Or stream messages to any Elixir process
## Installation
The package can be installed by adding `anthropix` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`.
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:anthropix, "~> 0.6"}
]
end
```
## Quickstart
> [!NOTE]
> #### Beta features
>
> Anthropic frequently ship new features under a beta flag, requiring headers to be added to your requests to take advantage of the feature.
>
> If required, beta headers can be added with `init/2`.
>
> ```elixir
> client = Anthropix.init(beta: ["output-128k-2025-02-19"])
> ```
For more examples, refer to the [Anthropix documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/anthropix).
### Initiate a client.
See `Anthropix.init/2`.
```elixir
client = Anthropix.init(api_key)
```
### Chat with Claude
See `Anthropix.chat/2`.
```elixir
messages = [
%{role: "user", content: "Why is the sky blue?"},
%{role: "assistant", content: "Due to rayleigh scattering."},
%{role: "user", content: "How is that different than mie scattering?"},
]
Anthropix.chat(client, [
model: "claude-3-opus-20240229",
messages: messages,
])
# {:ok, %{"content" => [%{
# "type" => "text",
# "text" => "Mie scattering affects all wavelengths similarly, while Rayleigh favors shorter ones."
# }], ...}}
```
### Streaming
A streaming request can be initiated by setting the `:stream` option.
When `:stream` is true a lazy `t:Enumerable.t/0` is returned which can be used with any `Stream` functions.
```elixir
{:ok, stream} = Anthropix.chat(client, [
model: "claude-3-opus-20240229",
messages: messages,
stream: true,
])
# {:ok, #Function<52.53678557/2 in Stream.resource/3>}
stream
|> Stream.each(&update_ui_with_chunk/1)
|> Stream.run()
# :ok
```
Because the above approach builds the `t:Enumerable.t/0` by calling `receive`, using this approach inside GenServer callbacks may cause the GenServer to misbehave. Setting the `:stream` option to a `t:pid/0` returns a `t:Task.t/0` which will send messages to the specified process.
