Claude Code API Workflow Automation

Overview

Use Claude Code to automate complex API workflows with intelligent error handling, data transformation, and multi-step orchestration.

Prerequisites

• Claude API access
• Basic JavaScript/Python knowledge
• API endpoints to integrate
• Development environment setup

Building Your First Workflow

Setup Claude Code Environment

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(api_key="your-api-key")

def process_api_workflow(input_data):
    message = client.messages.create(
        model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20250101",
        max_tokens=1024,
        messages=[{
            "role": "user",
            "content": f"Process this data and generate API call: {input_data}"
        }]
    )
    return message.content

Use Cases

1. Data Transformation: Convert between API formats
2. Error Handling: Intelligent retry logic
3. Multi-Step Workflows: Chain API calls dynamically
4. Data Validation: AI-powered input verification

Expected Results

• 90% reduction in manual coding
• Intelligent error recovery
• Flexible workflow adaptation
• Real-time processing capabilities
