Claude Opus API — Anthropic's Flagship Coding & Reasoning Models (5.5, 5, 4.8, 4.7, 4.6, 4.5)

The Claude Opus API gives you programmatic access to every live tier of Anthropic's flagship Opus line — Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Opus 5, and the 4.8, 4.7, 4.6, and 4.5 predecessors — through one Muapi API key, one request shape, and both standard async and live-streaming endpoints.Every tier accepts the same prompt / image_url / system_prompt request body, so switching between generations is a one-line model-name change. Claude Opus 5.5 is billed at Anthropic's own published rate ($4.00/M input, $20.00/M output tokens) with no Muapi markup.

What is the Claude Opus API?

Claude Opus is Anthropic's flagship model line, built for the most demanding engineering and knowledge-work tasks — large refactors, architecture decisions, multi-file agentic coding, and long-context reasoning across research papers, codebases, and documents. Submit a prompt — optionally alongside a reference image and a system prompt to steer tone and behavior — and get back a text response.

Muapi exposes every live Opus tier — Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Opus 5, Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Opus 4.6, and Claude Opus 4.5 — through the same request shape, so upgrading or comparing generations is a one-line model-name change. Each tier is available as a standard asynchronous submit-and-poll endpoint or a Server-Sent Events streaming endpoint for live chat UIs.

Key Capabilities

Six Live Tiers, One API

Call /claude-opus-5-5 for the newest release or any earlier tier down to /claude-opus-4-5 — same request shape, same Muapi API key.

Official Anthropic Pricing on Opus 5.5

Claude Opus 5.5 is billed at Anthropic's own published rate ($4.00/M input, $20.00/M output tokens) with no Muapi markup.

Complex Coding & Agentic Workflows

Tackle large refactors, architecture decisions, and multi-step autonomous agent tasks that need the highest reliability and reasoning depth.

Multimodal Input

Pass an optional image_url alongside your prompt so Claude Opus can reason about charts, diagrams, screenshots, and stack traces, not just text.

System Prompt Control

Set a system_prompt to steer tone, persona, or output format across a request.

Async or Streaming

Use the standard submit-and-poll endpoint for batch jobs and workflows, or the SSE streaming endpoint to render tokens live in a chat interface.

Minimum $0.0006 per call across every Opus tier. Actual cost is deducted after each call based on token counts returned by the model. Every tier also exposes a /stream endpoint at the same price.

How to Call the Claude Opus API

Submit a JSON request with your Muapi API key, save the request ID, and poll the shared result endpoint — or call the /stream variant for a live SSE token feed. The request shape is identical across every Opus tier.

1. Submit a prompt to Claude Opus 5.5

curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/claude-opus-5-5 \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"Review this pull request diff for correctness and suggest a safer approach.","system_prompt":"You are a precise senior staff engineer.","image_url":"https://example.com/diff-screenshot.png"}'

# Response: {"request_id":"REQUEST_ID"}

Call claude-opus-5-5 with a prompt, and optionally a system_prompt and image_url.

2. Poll the result

curl https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/predictions/REQUEST_ID/result \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

# Poll until status is completed, then read the generated text from outputs.

Poll until the task is completed, then read the generated text from outputs.

3. Stream the response instead

curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/claude-opus-5-5/stream \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"Plan a multi-file refactor for this module and list the follow-up questions."}'

# Response: a stream of SSE chunks, one per line:
# data: {"choices":[{"delta":{"content":"Here"}}]}
# data: {"choices":[{"delta":{"content":" is"}}]}
# data: [DONE]

Call claude-opus-5-5/stream with the same fields to receive SSE chunks as the model generates them, ending in a [DONE] marker.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Claude Opus?

Claude Opus is Anthropic's flagship line of models, built for the most demanding coding, reasoning, and agentic tasks. Muapi exposes every live tier — 5.5, 5, 4.8, 4.7, 4.6, and 4.5 — as standard REST APIs, so any application can call them with an API key instead of an Anthropic account.

Which Claude Opus tier should I use?

Use Claude Opus 5.5 for the newest model at official Anthropic pricing, or Claude Opus 5 for the current-generation flagship. The 4.8, 4.7, 4.6, and 4.5 tiers remain live for existing integrations that don't need to move to a newer release.

How much does the Claude Opus API cost?

Claude Opus 5.5 is $4.00 per million input tokens and $20.00 per million output tokens — Anthropic's own official rate, with no Muapi markup. Claude Opus 5, 4.8, 4.7, 4.6, and 4.5 are each $3.00 per million input tokens and $15.00 per million output tokens. Every tier has a $0.0006 minimum per call.

Can Claude Opus understand images?

Yes, on every tier. Pass an image_url alongside your prompt and the model will reason about both the text and the image together — including charts, diagrams, screenshots, and stack traces.

What's the difference between the async and streaming endpoints?

POST /api/v1/claude-opus-{tier} is asynchronous: it returns a request_id you poll via /api/v1/predictions/{id}/result. Adding /stream to any tier's path returns Server-Sent Events chunks in real time, ending in a data: [DONE] line, for live chat interfaces.

Do I need an Anthropic account to use this API?

No. Muapi exposes every Claude Opus tier as standard REST endpoints. Create a Muapi API key, submit JSON, and either poll the returned request ID or read the SSE stream.

Is Claude Opus 5.5 cheaper than Claude Opus 5?

No — Claude Opus 5.5 is priced at Anthropic's official rate ($4.00/M in, $20.00/M out), which is higher than the discounted $3.00/M in, $15.00/M out Muapi charges for Claude Opus 5 and the 4.x tiers. Choose based on capability needs, not just price.
