With this change, `client.beta.skills.delete()` deletes a Skill together with all of its versions, and the beta Messages type `BetaSkill` (the container Skill reference) is renamed `BetaContainerSkill`. Requests that still send the beta headers keep receiving the beta shapes. See Migrate from `files-api-2025-04-14` and Migrate from `skills-2025-10-02`.++- You can now create personal keys and service account keys in the Claude Console. They act as you or as a service account, with the same permissions, and stop working when the linked account is removed from an organization. This lets organization admins more easily track usage for each account, and ensure key usage is legitimate. These API keys can be scoped to a specific workspace or work on admin endpoints and across any workspace the account has access to. Workspace API keys remain supported as a legacy option. See API keys for more information.++### August 26, 2026++- The Compliance API session endpoints are out of beta for Cowork and Claude Code sessions. See Retrieve session transcripts.+- The Compliance API local session endpoints now also return transcripts of Claude Science sessions (`product_surface` value `claude_science`) and Claude for Microsoft 365 sessions in Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook (`product_surface` values beginning with `office_agents`), in beta for Claude Enterprise organizations, with your existing Compliance Access Key and the `read:compliance_user_data` scope. See Sessions on users' machines.++- The Admin API is now available in the `ant` CLI and the Python, TypeScript, C#, Go, Java, PHP, and Ruby SDKs under `client.beta.organization`. They cover organization info, members, invites, workspaces and workspace members, API keys, rate limits, service accounts, workload identity federation issuers and rules, and customer-managed encryption keys. Usage and cost reports and the Claude Enterprise user-management and analytics endpoints remain curl-only. The CLI and SDKs read an Admin API key from `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or an `org:admin` OAuth token from `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`.+ ### August 20, 2026  - We've released v1.0 of the Python SDK. The SDK's HTTP layer moves from `httpx` to httpx2, a maintained, API-compatible fork: build custom `http_client`, `Timeout`, and transport objects from `httpx2` (the `DefaultHttpxClient` helpers are unchanged), and call `httpx2.alias_httpx()` at startup if you rely on tracing or mocking libraries that patch `httpx`. v1.0 requires Python 3.10 or later and removes long-deprecated surface, including the legacy Text Completions API, the `temperature`, `top_p`, and `top_k` parameters on Messages methods, and the tool runner's client-side `compaction_control`. On the async client, `.with_raw_response` results now need `await response.parse()`, and `AnthropicBedrock` now raises an error when no AWS region is configured instead of defaulting to `us-east-1`. See the v1 migration guide for every change with before-and-after snippets.+- The computer use and browser use toolsets (`computer_toolset_20260801` and `browser_toolset_20260801`) are now available on Google Cloud for Claude Fable 5, Claude Mythos 5, Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Opus 4.8. Requests use the same `tools` entries as on the Claude API.  ### August 19, 2026@@ -18,6 +32,6 @@ For updates to Claude Code, see the complete CHANGELOG.md in the `claude-code` r - We've launched the browser use tool (`browser_toolset_20260801`), a client toolset for driving a browser that your application hosts. It works inside a browser viewport rather than a whole desktop, reading the page itself (its accessibility tree, elements, forms, and tabs) and adding element references, form input, tab management, download reporting, and opt-in file upload on top of screenshot-and-click control. - Both toolsets are available for Claude Fable 5, Claude Mythos 5, Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Opus 4.8 on the Claude API.-- The Files API is out of beta on the Claude API. Requests to the `/v1/files` endpoints, and Messages API requests that reference an uploaded file, no longer require the `files-api-2025-04-14` beta header. Requests sent without the header use the current response format: file expiration (set `expires_in_seconds` when you upload a file; file objects report `expires_at`), and `page` and `next_page` pagination plus an `ids[]` filter when you list files. `/v1/files` requests that still send the beta header keep working and return the previous response format.-- Agent Skills and the Skills API (`/v1/skills`) are out of beta on the Claude API. Requests no longer require the `skills-2025-10-02` beta header, including Messages API requests that load Skills through the `container` parameter. Requests that still send the header continue to work unchanged. See Using Agent Skills with the API.+- The Files API is out of beta on the Claude API.

The `anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13` header is no longer required on group and custom-role requests; requests that still send it are accepted unchanged. See User management. - You can now restrict which sites a Claude Managed Agents agent's `web_search` and `web_fetch` tools can reach. Set `allowed_domains` or `blocked_domains` on the tool's entry in the `agent_toolset_20260401` `configs` array; `web_fetch` also accepts `max_content_tokens` and `web_search` accepts `user_location`. Each `configs` entry is identified by its `name` and typed by an optional `type`, and requests that pass only `name`, `enabled`, and `permission_policy` continue to work; in the typed SDKs, `configs` entries become per-tool types.
