Analyze data with AI

Atualizado em Ver como Markdown

Build an AI-powered data analysis system that accepts CSV uploads, uses Claude to generate Python analysis code, executes it in sandboxes, and returns visualizations.

Time to complete: 25 minutes

Prerequisites

  1. Sign up for a Cloudflare account.
  2. Install Node.js.

Node.js version manager

Use a Node version manager like Volta or nvm to avoid permission issues and change Node.js versions. Wrangler, discussed later in this guide, requires a Node version of 16.17.0 or later.

You'll also need:

1. Create your project

Create a new Sandbox SDK project:


								
									
									npm
									 create cloudflare@latest -- analyze-data --template=cloudflare/sandbox-sdk/examples/minimal
								
							
cd analyze-data

2. Install dependencies


								
									
									npm
									 i @anthropic-ai/sdk
								
							

3. Build the analysis handler

Replace src/index.ts:

import { getSandbox, proxyToSandbox, type Sandbox } from "@cloudflare/sandbox";
import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk";

export { Sandbox } from "@cloudflare/sandbox";

interface Env {
	Sandbox: DurableObjectNamespace<Sandbox>;
	ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: string;
}

export default {
	async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
		const proxyResponse = await proxyToSandbox(request, env);
		if (proxyResponse) return proxyResponse;

		if (request.method !== "POST") {
			return Response.json(
				{ error: "POST CSV file and question" },
				{ status: 405 },
			);
		}

		try {
			const formData = await request.formData();
			const csvFile = formData.get("file") as File;
			const question = formData.get("question") as string;

			if (!csvFile || !question) {
				return Response.json(
					{ error: "Missing file or question" },
					{ status: 400 },
				);
			}

			// Upload CSV to sandbox
			const sandbox = getSandbox(env.Sandbox, `analysis-${Date.now()}`);
			const csvPath = "/workspace/data.csv";
			await sandbox.writeFile(csvPath, await csvFile.text());

			// Analyze CSV structure
			const structure = await sandbox.exec(
				`python3 -c "import pandas as pd; df = pd.read_csv('${csvPath}'); print(f'Rows: {len(df)}'); print(f'Columns: {list(df.columns)[:5]}')"`,
			);

			if (!structure.success) {
				return Response.json(
					{ error: "Failed to read CSV", details: structure.stderr },
					{ status: 400 },
				);
			}

			// Generate analysis code with Claude
			const code = await generateAnalysisCode(
				env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
				csvPath,
				question,
				structure.stdout,
			);

			// Write and execute the analysis code
			await sandbox.writeFile("/workspace/analyze.py", code);
			const result = await sandbox.exec("python /workspace/analyze.py");

			if (!result.success) {
				return Response.json(
					{ error: "Analysis failed", details: result.stderr },
					{ status: 500 },
				);
			}

			async function streamToBase64(stream) {
			  const blob = await new Response(stream).blob();
			  const buffer = await blob.arrayBuffer();
			  const bytes = new Uint8Array(buffer);

			  // Convert to base64
			  let binary = '';
			  for (let i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
			    binary += String.fromCharCode(bytes[i]);
			  }
			  return btoa(binary);
			}

			// Check for generated chart
			let chart = null;
			try {
				const { content, mimeType } = await sandbox.readFile("/workspace/chart.png", {
					encoding: "none"
				});
				chart = `data:${mimeType};base64,${await streamToBase64(content)}`;
			} catch {
				// No chart generated
			}

			await sandbox.destroy();

			return Response.json({
				success: true,
				output: result.stdout,
				chart,
				code,
			});
		} catch (error: any) {
			return Response.json({ error: error.message }, { status: 500 });
		}
	},
};

async function generateAnalysisCode(
	apiKey: string,
	csvPath: string,
	question: string,
	csvStructure: string,
): Promise<string> {
	const anthropic = new Anthropic({ apiKey });

	const response = await anthropic.messages.create({
		model: "claude-sonnet-4-5",
		max_tokens: 2048,
		messages: [
			{
				role: "user",
				content: `CSV at ${csvPath}:
${csvStructure}

Question: "${question}"

Generate Python code that:
- Reads CSV with pandas
- Answers the question
- Saves charts to /workspace/chart.png if helpful
- Prints findings to stdout

Use pandas, numpy, matplotlib.`,
			},
		],
		tools: [
			{
				name: "generate_python_code",
				description: "Generate Python code for data analysis",
				input_schema: {
					type: "object",
					properties: {
						code: { type: "string", description: "Complete Python code" },
					},
					required: ["code"],
				},
			},
		],
	});

	for (const block of response.content) {
		if (block.type === "tool_use" && block.name === "generate_python_code") {
			return (block.input as { code: string }).code;
		}
	}

	throw new Error("Failed to generate code");
}

4. Set up local environment variables

Create a .dev.vars file in your project root for local development:

echo "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here\nSANDBOX_TRANSPORT=rpc" > .dev.vars

Replace your_api_key_here with your actual API key from the Anthropic Console.

The SANDBOX_TRANSPORT is required to use the new file streaming APIs.

5. Test locally

Download a sample CSV:

# Create a test CSV
echo "year,rating,title
2020,8.5,Movie A
2021,7.2,Movie B
2022,9.1,Movie C" > test.csv

Start the dev server:

npm run dev

Test with curl:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8787 \
  -F "file=@test.csv" \
  -F "question=What is the average rating by year?"

Response:

{
	"success": true,
	"output": "Average ratings by year:\n2020: 8.5\n2021: 7.2\n2022: 9.1",
	"chart": "data:image/png;base64,...",
	"code": "import pandas as pd\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\n..."
}

6. Deploy

Deploy your Worker:

npx wrangler deploy

Then set your Anthropic API key as a production secret:

npx wrangler secret put ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Paste your API key from the Anthropic Console when prompted.

What you built

An AI data analysis system that:

  • Uploads CSV files to sandboxes
  • Uses Claude's tool calling to generate analysis code
  • Executes Python with pandas and matplotlib
  • Returns text output and visualizations
