To make the most of the examples in this cookbook, you'll need a Claude API key (sign up for free [here](https://www.anthropic.com)).

While the code examples are primarily written in Python, the concepts can be adapted to any programming language that supports interaction with the Claude API.

If you're new to working with the Claude API, we recommend starting with our [Claude API Fundamentals course](https://github.com/anthropics/courses/tree/master/anthropic_api_fundamentals) to get a solid foundation.
