How can I check connectivity to the Claude API?

You can programmatically verify your connection to the Claude API by following these steps:

1. Create an API key: You'll need a valid API key to make requests to the API. Log in to your Claude Console account to create an API key.

2. Make a test request: Use your API key to make a test request to the API. You can refer to our Getting started documentation for an example.

3. Verify request success: Check if your test request is successful. This can include examining the response status code, response body, and any error messages.
