You'll learn API parameter mapping, XML prompt engineering, and cost optimization strategies. Perfect for developers who want to leverage Claude's superior performance and large context window. Key Points: • API migration with complete parameter mapping - 15 minutes setup • XML prompt engineering for improved quality - structured approach • Hybrid workflow strategy for enhanced productivity • 30 minutes total with 5 hands-on exercises Master the migration from ChatGPT to Claude in this comprehensive tutorial. By completion, you'll have working API migration code and optimized prompts. This guide includes 5 practical examples, 10 code samples, and 3 real-world applications. Tutorial Requirements Prerequisites: Basic API knowledge, OpenAI experience Time Required: 30 minutes active work Tools Needed: Anthropic API key, Python/JavaScript Outcome: Working migration system with optimized prompts WHAT YOU'LL LEARN STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL 1) Step 1: Setup and Authentication 2) Step 2: Build Migration Adapter 3) Step 3: Transform Prompts to XML 4) Step 4: Optimize Performance and Costs KEY CONCEPTS EXPLAINED Understanding these concepts ensures you can adapt this tutorial to your specific needs and troubleshoot issues effectively. PRACTICAL EXAMPLES TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Common Issues and Solutions Issue 1: ANTHROPICAPIKEY not found error Solution: Set environment variable correctly - This fixes authentication failures and prevents API errors. Issue 2: Token count mismatch Solution: Account for tokenizer differences between models. Issue 3: Rate limit errors (50 RPM limit) Solution: Implement exponential backoff - Works with Tier 1 limits and maintains reliability. ADVANCED TECHNIQUES Professional Tips Performance Optimization: Prompt caching significantly reduces token costs while maintaining response quality. Security Best Practice: Always use environment variables for API keys to prevent credential exposure. Scalability Pattern: For enterprise deployments, use workspace separation which handles ,+ requests while preserving isolation. VALIDATION AND TESTING NEXT STEPS AND LEARNING PATH QUICK REFERENCE Note: The original guide contains a `` component which is not in the standard component mapping. This has been converted to a feature_grid for compatibility. RELATED LEARNING RESOURCES Tutorial Complete! Congratulations!
