ChangeAPI changelog

New August 27, 2026 changelog entry documents SDK changes removing beta headers for Files API and Skills API with breaking changes including renamed types and modified delete behavior, plus new personal/service account API key support.

AUGUST 26, 2026 * The Compliance API session endpoints are out of beta for Cowork and Claude Code sessions.
AUGUST 27, 2026 * In Python SDK 1.2.0, TypeScript SDK 0.122.0, Go SDK 1.68.0, Java SDK 2.59.0, Ruby SDK 1.67.0, and C# SDK 12.44.0, client.beta.files and client.beta.skills no longer send the files-api-2025-04-14 and skills-2025-10-02 beta headers and return the same shapes as client.files and client.skills. 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.

  * 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 computer use tool is out of beta on the Claude API as the computer_toolset_20260801 toolset: no beta header, batch actions (several actions in one turn), zoom enabled by default, and per-member configuration through configs. Earlier beta versions remain available. Upgrading an existing integration changes the request shape and tool handling; see Migrate from computer_20251124.
  * 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 Admin API user-management endpoints for Claude Enterprise (claude.ai) organizations (members, invites, groups, and custom roles) are out of beta. 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. See Restrict web search and web fetch domains.
  * Claude Managed Agents sessions that run in a self-hosted sandbox can now attach memory stores. The Python, TypeScript, and Go SDK workers download each attached store into the sandbox at its mount_path and sync the agent's changes back to the store. See Use memory stores.
  * The session viewer in the Claude Console has been redesigned with a timeline minimap, a transcript grouped by model request, and an Inspector panel for session details and cost, raw events, per-tool statistics, mounted resources, and per-thread activity. See Console observability.
