An open-source Swift package designed for effortless interaction with Anthropic's public API.
SwiftAnthropic is an open-source Swift package that streamlines interactions with Anthropic's API endpoints.
Anthropic is rolling out Claude slowly and incrementally, as they work to ensure the safety and scalability of it, in alignment with their company values.
They are working with select partners to roll out Claude in their products. If you're interested in becoming one of those partners, they are accepting applications. Keep in mind that, due to the overwhelming interest they received so far, they may take a while to reply.
If you have been interacting with Claude via one interface (e.g. Claude in Slack), and wish to move to another interface (e.g. API access), you may reapply for access to each product separately.
- Open your Swift project in Xcode.
- Go to
File->Add Package Dependency. - In the search bar, enter this URL.
- Choose the version you'd like to install.
- Click
Add Package.
To use SwiftAnthropic in your project, first import the package:
import SwiftAnthropicThen, initialize the service using your Anthropic API key:
let apiKey = "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"
let service = AnthropicServiceFactory.service(apiKey: apiKey)If needed, the api version can be overriden:
let apiKey = "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"
let apiVersion = "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_VERSION" e.g: "2023-06-01".
let service = AnthropicServiceFactory.service(apiKey: apiKey, apiVersion: apiVersion)Parameters:
public struct TextCompletionParameter: Encodable {
/// The model that will complete your prompt.
/// As we improve Claude, we develop new versions of it that you can query. The model parameter controls which version of Claude responds to your request. Right now we offer two model families: Claude, and Claude Instant. You can use them by setting model to "claude-2.1" or "claude-instant-1.2", respectively.
/// See [models](https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/reference/selecting-a-model) for additional details and options.
let model: String
/// The prompt that you want Claude to complete.
/// For proper response generation you will need to format your prompt using alternating \n\nHuman: and \n\nAssistant: conversational turns. For example: `"\n\nHuman: {userQuestion}\n\nAssistant:"`
/// See [prompt validation](https://anthropic.readme.io/claude/reference/prompt-validation) and our guide to [prompt design](https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/docs/introduction-to-prompt-designhttps://docs.anthropic.com/claude/docs/introduction-to-prompt-design) for more details.

/// 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.

let model: String
/// 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.
/// 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. The first message must always use the user role.
/// 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.
let messages: [Message]
/// 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.

let maxTokens: Int
/// 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.anthropic.com/claude/docs/how-to-use-system-prompts).
let system: String?
/// An object describing metadata about the request.
let metadata: MetaData?
/// 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.
let stopSequences: [String]?
/// Whether to incrementally stream the response using server-sent events.
/// See [streaming](https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/reference/messages-streaming for details.
var stream: Bool

/// - Example:
/// ```

///
/// The response content seamlessly follows from the last turn if the request input ends with an assistant turn. This allows for a continuous output based on the last interaction.

/// - `"max_tokens"`: The requested `max_tokens` limit or the model's maximum token limit was exceeded.
/// - `"stop_sequence"`: A custom stop sequence provided by you was generated.
///
/// It's important to note that the values for `stopReason` here differ from those in `/v1/complete`, specifically in how `end_turn` and `stop_sequence` are distinguished.
///
/// - In non-streaming mode, `stopReason` is always non-null, indicating the reason for stopping.
/// - In streaming mode, `stopReason` is null in the `message_start` event and non-null in all other cases, providing context for the stoppage.
///
/// This design allows for a detailed understanding of the process flow and its termination points.
