Test your access to Anthropic

To test whether you can access the Anthropic Claude models, use the Text or Chat playgrounds feature on the Amazon Bedrock console. Or, you can use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to make an API call to Bedrock runtime.

Example command:

import boto3
import json
bedrock = boto3.client(service_name='bedrock-runtime')

body = json.dumps({
    "prompt": "\n\n
Human:explain black holes to 8th graders\n\n
Assistant:",
    "max_tokens_to_sample": 300,
    "temperature": 0.1,
    "top_p": 0.9,
})

modelId = 'anthropic.claude-3-sonnet-20240229-v1:0'
accept = 'application/json'
contentType = 'application/json'

response = bedrock.invoke_model(body=body, modelId=modelId, accept=accept, contentType=contentType)

response_body = json.loads(response.get('body').read())
# text
print(response_body.get('completion'))

To test the Amazon Bedrock setup, run the following command:

import boto3
bedrock = boto3.client(service_name='bedrock')
bedrock.get_foundation_model(modelIdentifier='anthropic.claude-3-sonnet-20240229-v1:0')

Note: To make API calls to Amazon Bedrock models, add permissions to the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role or user entity.

You can only access Anthropic models from supported countries, regions, or territories. When you try to access Anthropic models from unsupported countries, regions, or territories, you might receive the following error:

"Claude 3.x Sonnet - Access to Anthropic models is not allowed from unsupported countries, regions, or territories."

Note: Your AWS account and billing address must also be in a supported country, region, or territory for Anthropic models. For more information, see Supported Countries for Anthropic Models on the Anthropic website.
