+# Anthropic API Examples
+
+This directory contains examples demonstrating how to use the Anthropic API with Python.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before running these examples, you'll need:
+
+1. **Python 3.7+** installed on your system
+2. **Anthropic Python SDK** installed:
+   ```bash
+   pip install anthropic
+   ```
+3. **Anthropic API key** - Get one at https://console.anthropic.com/
+
+## Setting Up Your API Key
+
+### Option 1: Environment Variable (Recommended)
+
+Set your API key as an environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'
+```
+
+For Windows (PowerShell):
+```powershell
+$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'
+```
+
+### Option 2: Direct in Code (For Testing Only)
+
+Replace `"your-api-key-here"` in the example files with your actual API key. **Note:** This is not recommended for production code or code that will be committed to version control.
+
+## Examples
+
+### 1. Basic Example (`basic_example.py`)
+
+The simplest way to get started with the Anthropic API:
+
+```bash
+python basic_example.py
+```
+
+This example demonstrates:
+- Initializing the Anthropic client
+- Sending a single message
+- Receiving and printing the response
+
+### 2. Advanced Example (`advanced_example.py`)
+
+A more comprehensive example showcasing various features:
+
+```bash
+python advanced_example.py
+```
+
+This example demonstrates:
+- **Simple Conversation**: Basic single-turn interaction
+- **Multi-turn Conversation**: Maintaining context across multiple exchanges
+- **System Prompts**: Customizing Claude's behavior and personality
+- **Streaming Responses**: Receiving responses in real-time as they're generated
+
+## Available Models
+
+The examples use `claude-opus-4-1-20250805`, but you can use other models:
+
+- `claude-opus-4-1-20250805` - Most capable model for complex tasks
+- `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929` - Great balance of intelligence and speed
+- `claude-sonnet-4-2-20250514` - Fast and efficient for most tasks
+- `claude-haiku-4-20250514` - Fastest model for simple tasks
+
+## Additional Resources
+
+- [Anthropic API Documentation](https://docs.anthropic.com/)
+- [API Reference](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/messages)
+- [Python SDK on GitHub](https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python)
+- [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/)
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### ImportError: No module named 'anthropic'
+
+Install the Anthropic SDK:
+```bash
+pip install anthropic
+```
+
+### Authentication Error
+
+Make sure your API key is set correctly:
+```bash
+echo $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY  # Should display your key
+```
+
+If not set, export it again:
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'
+```
