Claude API API Limits: Resolution, Inputs and Request Boundaries

APIMART serves Claude API through POST /api/v1/chat/completions. The current documentation describes an asynchronous submit-and-poll workflow. The boundaries below were checked on September 2, 2026.

Verified boundaries

• The general chat endpoint requires a concrete Claude model ID and a messages array; the Claude family page itself is not a callable model ID.
• The current APIMART general-chat documentation lists dated Haiku, Sonnet and Opus variants, including separate thinking variants.
• OpenAI-style stream=true returns server-sent chunks; non-streaming returns one chat-completion response.
• Token usage is returned as prompt_tokens, completion_tokens and total_tokens and should drive cost reconciliation.
• max_tokens, temperature and other generation controls are route and model dependent; validate unsupported combinations before retrying.
• A 429 or 5xx response is not completed output; use bounded retry, preserve request IDs and avoid double-counting retried usage.

Minimal integration rule

Send the documented model ID, required prompt and only compatible optional inputs. Persist the returned task_id, implement bounded polling and backoff, and keep 400, 401, 402, 429 and 5xx responses out of completed-output metrics.

FAQ

Which endpoint serves Claude API?

Use POST /api/v1/chat/completions with the documented model ID and Bearer authentication.

Is processing synchronous?

No. A successful submission returns a task ID that must be polled for completion.

What is the first production safeguard?

Validate model ID, quantity or duration, resolution and input combinations before submission.

Can documented limits change?

Yes. Treat the live endpoint documentation as the source of truth and version your request profile.

Should a submitted task be counted as completed output?

No. Count success only after the task endpoint reports a completed result.
