Building with the Claude API

Building with the Claude API takes you through the full range of what you can do with Anthropic's API: from first API call to production-style patterns. You'll learn how to authenticate, send prompts, handle responses, and think about tokens, context windows, and reliability. The material is practical and geared toward people who need to ship, not just experiment.

This course is for product managers who work with engineering on AI features, technical PMs, and developers building on Claude. It's self-paced and online on Skilljar. You'll get a clear picture of the API surface, how to design prompts and parse outputs for your use case, and how to reason about latency, cost, and failure modes so you can make better product and technical decisions.

By the end you'll understand how the Claude API fits into a product stack, how to scope and iterate on API-backed features, and where to look when something doesn't work as expected. You'll be better equipped to own or contribute to roadmap discussions, vendor evaluations, and implementation choices. Valuable if your team is already using or seriously considering Claude in production.
