# Claude API — Ruby
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** The Ruby SDK supports the Claude API. A tool runner is available in beta via `client.beta.messages.tool_runner()`. Agent SDK is not yet available for Ruby.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gem install anthropic
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Client Initialization
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
require "anthropic"
|
|
|
|
# Default (uses ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var)
|
|
client = Anthropic::Client.new
|
|
|
|
# Explicit API key
|
|
client = Anthropic::Client.new(api_key: "your-api-key")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Basic Message Request
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
message = client.messages.create(
|
|
model: :"claude-opus-4-6",
|
|
max_tokens: 1024,
|
|
messages: [
|
|
{ role: "user", content: "What is the capital of France?" }
|
|
]
|
|
)
|
|
puts message.content.first.text
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Streaming
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
stream = client.messages.stream(
|
|
model: :"claude-opus-4-6",
|
|
max_tokens: 1024,
|
|
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a haiku" }]
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
stream.text.each { |text| print(text) }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Tool Use
|
|
|
|
The Ruby SDK supports tool use via raw JSON schema definitions and also provides a beta tool runner for automatic tool execution.
|
|
|
|
### Tool Runner (Beta)
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
class GetWeatherInput < Anthropic::BaseModel
|
|
required :location, String, doc: "City and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA"
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
class GetWeather < Anthropic::BaseTool
|
|
doc "Get the current weather for a location"
|
|
|
|
input_schema GetWeatherInput
|
|
|
|
def call(input)
|
|
"The weather in #{input.location} is sunny and 72°F."
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
client.beta.messages.tool_runner(
|
|
model: :"claude-opus-4-6",
|
|
max_tokens: 1024,
|
|
tools: [GetWeather.new],
|
|
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "What's the weather in San Francisco?" }]
|
|
).each_message do |message|
|
|
puts message.content
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Manual Loop
|
|
|
|
See the [shared tool use concepts](../shared/tool-use-concepts.md) for the tool definition format and agentic loop pattern.
