Use JayDeBeApi to access Claude Compliance Data in Python

Access Claude Compliance data with Python scripts and standard SQL on any machine where Python and Java can be installed. You can use the CData JDBC Driver for Claude Compliance and the JayDeBeApi module to work with remote Claude Compliance data in Python. By using the CData Driver, you are leveraging a driver written for industry-proven standards to access your data in the popular Python language. This article shows how to use the driver to execute SQL queries to Claude Compliance and visualize Claude Compliance data with standard Python.

Use the JayDeBeApi module

JayDeBeApi is a Python library that serves as a JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) bridge, allowing Python programs to interact with Java databases, including CData JDBC Drivers. Use the pip install command to install the module:

pip install JayDeBeApi

Create the JDBC URL

Once you have JayDeBeApi installed, you are ready to work with Claude Compliance data in Python using SQL.

The driver connects to Claude Compliance using a Compliance Access Key, the only supported authentication method. Set the following connection property:

• APIKey: The Compliance Access Key you created.

Creating a Compliance Access Key

1. Enable the Compliance API for your organization.
2. Sign in to claude.ai as a primary owner or organization owner and open Organization settings > API > Keys.
3. Select Create Key and assign only the scopes your integration needs:
   • read:compliance_activities for Activities and the typed activity views.
   • read:compliance_org_data for organizations, roles, groups, and settings.
   • read:compliance_user_data for users, chats, files, projects, and downloads.
   • delete:compliance_user_data for the explicit Delete stored procedures.
4. Create the key and copy it when it appears. The key starts with sk-ant-api01- and is shown only once.

Optionally, set OrganizationUUID to limit organization-scoped views (such as OrganizationUsers and ComplianceRoles) to a single linked organization. If it is left empty, those views default to the first available organization and do not include data from all linked organizations.

Built-in Connection String Designer

For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Claude Compliance JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

java -jar cdata.jdbc.claudecompliance.jar

Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

Below is a sample variable assignment, including a typical JDBC connection string:

jdbc_url = "jdbc:claudecompliance:APIKey=your_compliance_access_key;"

Access Claude Compliance data in Python

With the JDBC URL configured, you only need the absolute path to the JDBC driver JAR file, which is in the "lib" folder in the installation directory ("C:\Program Files\CData\CData JDBC Driver for Claude Compliance 20XX\lib\cdata.jdbc.claudecompliance.jar" on Windows).

NOTE: If you haven't already, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the Java installation directory.

Use code similar to the follow to read and print data from Claude Compliance:

import jaydebeapi

#The JDBC connection string
jdbc_url = "jdbc:claudecompliance:APIKey=your_compliance_access_key;"

username = "****"
password = "****"

#The absolute Path to the JDBC driver JAR file, typically:
jdbc_driver_jar = "C:\Program Files\CData\CData JDBC Driver for Claude Compliance 20XX\lib\cdata.jdbc.claudecompliance.jar"

conn = jaydebeapi.connect(
   "cdata.jdbc.claudecompliance.ClaudeComplianceDriver",
   jdbc_url,
   [username, password],
   jdbc_driver_jar,
)

cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM Projects;")


results = cursor.fetchall()
for row in results:
    print(row)

cursor.close()
conn.close()
