IntegrationsAnthropic SDK

Files and Batch API

Upload files and create batch jobs for asynchronous processing using the Anthropic SDK through FinOps across multiple providers.

Overview

FinOps supports the Anthropic Files API and Batch API (via the beta namespace) with cross-provider routing. This means you can use the Anthropic SDK to manage files and batch jobs across multiple providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Gemini.

The provider is specified using the x-model-provider header in default_headers.

Bedrock Limitation: Bedrock batch operations require file-based input with S3 storage, which is not supported via the Anthropic SDK's inline batch API. For Bedrock batch operations, use the Bedrock SDK directly.

Client Setup

In API Key section, you can either send virtual key or a dummy key to escape client side validation.

Anthropic Provider (Default)

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key"
)

Cross-Provider Client

To route requests to a different provider, set the x-model-provider header:

OpenAI Provider

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key",
 default_headers={"x-model-provider": "openai"}
)

Bedrock Provider

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key",
 default_headers={"x-model-provider": "bedrock"}
)

Bedrock can be used for chat completions via the Anthropic SDK, but batch operations are not supported. Bedrock requires file-based batch input with S3 storage. Use the Bedrock SDK for batch operations.

Gemini Provider

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key",
 default_headers={"x-model-provider": "gemini"}
)

Files API

The Files API is accessed through the beta.files namespace. Note that file support varies by provider.

Upload a File

Anthropic Provider

Upload a text file for use with Anthropic:

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key"
)

# Upload a text file
text_content = b"This is a test file for Files API integration."

response = client.beta.files.upload(
 file=("test_upload.txt", text_content, "text/plain"),
)

print(f"File ID: {response.id}")
print(f"Filename: {response.filename}")

OpenAI Provider

Upload a JSONL file for OpenAI batch processing:

import anthropic

# Client configured for OpenAI provider
client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key",
 default_headers={"x-model-provider": "openai"}
)

# Create JSONL content in OpenAI batch format
jsonl_content = b'''{"custom_id": "request-1", "method": "POST", "url": "/v1/chat/completions", "body": {"model": "gpt-4o-mini", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}], "max_tokens": 100}}
{"custom_id": "request-2", "method": "POST", "url": "/v1/chat/completions", "body": {"model": "gpt-4o-mini", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "How are you?"}], "max_tokens": 100}}'''

response = client.beta.files.upload(
 file=("batch_input.jsonl", jsonl_content, "application/jsonl"),
)

print(f"File ID: {response.id}")

List Files

Anthropic Provider

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key"
)

# List all files
response = client.beta.files.list

for file in response.data:
 print(f"File ID: {file.id}")
 print(f"Filename: {file.filename}")
 print(f"Size: {file.size} bytes")
 print("---")

OpenAI Provider

import anthropic

# Client configured for OpenAI provider
client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key",
 default_headers={"x-model-provider": "openai"}
)

# List all files from OpenAI
response = client.beta.files.list

for file in response.data:
 print(f"File ID: {file.id}, Name: {file.filename}")

Delete a File

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key",
 default_headers={"x-model-provider": "openai"} # or omit for anthropic
)

# Delete a file
file_id = "file-abc123"
response = client.beta.files.delete(file_id)

print(f"Deleted file: {file_id}")

Download File Content

Note: Anthropic only allows downloading files created by certain tools (like code execution). OpenAI allows downloading batch output files.

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key",
 default_headers={"x-model-provider": "openai"}
)

# Download file content
file_id = "file-abc123"
response = client.beta.files.download(file_id)

content = response.text
print(f"File content:\n{content}")

Batch API

The Anthropic Batch API is accessed through beta.messages.batches. Anthropic's batch API uses inline requests rather than file uploads.

Create a Batch with Inline Requests

Anthropic Provider

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key"
)

# Create batch with inline requests
batch_requests = [
 {
 "custom_id": "request-1",
 "params": {
 "model": "claude-3-sonnet-20240229",
 "max_tokens": 100,
 "messages": [
 {"role": "user", "content": "What is 2+2?"}
 ]
 }
 },
 {
 "custom_id": "request-2",
 "params": {
 "model": "claude-3-sonnet-20240229",
 "max_tokens": 100,
 "messages": [
 {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}
 ]
 }
 }
]

batch = client.beta.messages.batches.create(requests=batch_requests)

print(f"Batch ID: {batch.id}")
print(f"Status: {batch.processing_status}")

OpenAI Provider

When routing to OpenAI, use OpenAI-compatible models:

import anthropic

# Client configured for OpenAI provider
client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key",
 default_headers={"x-model-provider": "openai"}
)

# Create batch with inline requests (using OpenAI models)
batch_requests = [
 {
 "custom_id": "request-1",
 "params": {
 "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
 "max_tokens": 100,
 "messages": [
 {"role": "user", "content": "What is 2+2?"}
 ]
 }
 },
 {
 "custom_id": "request-2",
 "params": {
 "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
 "max_tokens": 100,
 "messages": [
 {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}
 ]
 }
 }
]

batch = client.beta.messages.batches.create(requests=batch_requests)

print(f"Batch ID: {batch.id}")
print(f"Status: {batch.processing_status}")

Gemini Provider

When routing to Gemini:

import anthropic

# Client configured for Gemini provider
client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key",
 default_headers={"x-model-provider": "gemini"}
)

# Create batch with inline requests (using Gemini models)
batch_requests = [
 {
 "custom_id": "request-1",
 "params": {
 "model": "gemini-1.5-flash",
 "max_tokens": 100,
 "messages": [
 {"role": "user", "content": "What is 2+2?"}
 ]
 }
 },
 {
 "custom_id": "request-2",
 "params": {
 "model": "gemini-1.5-flash",
 "max_tokens": 100,
 "messages": [
 {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}
 ]
 }
 }
]

batch = client.beta.messages.batches.create(requests=batch_requests)

print(f"Batch ID: {batch.id}")
print(f"Status: {batch.processing_status}")

Bedrock Note: Bedrock requires file-based batch creation with S3 storage. When routing to Bedrock from the Anthropic SDK, you'll need to use the Bedrock SDK directly for batch operations. See the Bedrock SDK documentation for details.

List Batches

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key",
 default_headers={"x-model-provider": "anthropic"} # or "openai", "gemini"
)

# List batches
response = client.beta.messages.batches.list(limit=10)

for batch in response.data:
 print(f"Batch ID: {batch.id}")
 print(f"Status: {batch.processing_status}")
 if batch.request_counts:
 print(f"Processing: {batch.request_counts.processing}")
 print(f"Succeeded: {batch.request_counts.succeeded}")
 print(f"Errored: {batch.request_counts.errored}")
 print("---")

Retrieve Batch Status

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key",
 default_headers={"x-model-provider": "anthropic"} # or "openai", "gemini"
)

# Retrieve batch status
batch_id = "batch-abc123"
batch = client.beta.messages.batches.retrieve(batch_id)

print(f"Batch ID: {batch.id}")
print(f"Status: {batch.processing_status}")

if batch.request_counts:
 print(f"Processing: {batch.request_counts.processing}")
 print(f"Succeeded: {batch.request_counts.succeeded}")
 print(f"Errored: {batch.request_counts.errored}")

Cancel a Batch

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key",
 default_headers={"x-model-provider": "anthropic"} # or "openai", "gemini"
)

# Cancel batch
batch_id = "batch-abc123"
batch = client.beta.messages.batches.cancel(batch_id)

print(f"Batch ID: {batch.id}")
print(f"Status: {batch.processing_status}") # "canceling" or "ended"

Get Batch Results

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
 base_url="{AI_GATEWAY_URL}/anthropic",
 api_key="virtual-key-or-dummy-key"
)

# Get batch results (only available after batch is completed)
batch_id = "batch-abc123"
results = client.beta.messages.batches.results(batch_id)

# Iterate over results
for result in results:
 print(f"Custom ID: {result.custom_id}")
 if result.result.type == "succeeded":
 message = result.result.message
 print(f"Response: {message.content[0].text}")
 elif result.result.type == "errored":
 print(f"Error: {result.result.error}")
 print("---")
