# Deploy Autonomous Cron Agents with Swarms API on Cloudflare Workers Deploy intelligent, self-executing AI agents powered by Swarms API on Cloudflare's global edge network. Build production-ready autonomous agents that run on automated schedules, fetch real-time data, perform sophisticated analysis using Swarms AI, and take automated actions across 330+ cities worldwide. ## What Are Autonomous Cron Agents? Autonomous cron agents combine **Swarms API intelligence** with **Cloudflare Workers edge computing** to create AI-powered systems that: - **Execute automatically** on predefined schedules without human intervention - **Fetch real-time data** from external sources (APIs, databases, IoT sensors) - **Perform intelligent analysis** using specialized Swarms AI agents - **Take automated actions** based on analysis findings (alerts, reports, decisions) - **Scale globally** on Cloudflare's edge network with sub-100ms response times worldwide ## Architecture Overview ``` ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ Cloudflare │ │ Data Sources │ │ Swarms API │ │ Workers Cron │ │ │ │ │ │ "0 */3 * * *" │───▶│ Yahoo Finance │───▶│ Multi-Agent │ │ │ │ Medical APIs │ │ Intelligence │ │ scheduled() │ │ News Feeds │ │ Autonomous │ │ Global Edge │ │ IoT Sensors │ │ Actions │ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ ``` **Key Benefits:** - **24/7 Autonomous Operation**: Zero human intervention required - **Global Edge Deployment**: Cloudflare's 330+ city network for ultra-low latency - **Swarms AI Intelligence**: Live data analysis with specialized AI agents - **Automated Decision Making**: Smart actions based on Swarms agent insights - **Enterprise Reliability**: Production-grade error handling and monitoring ## Quick Start: Deploy Autonomous Stock Analysis Agent Create your first autonomous financial intelligence agent powered by Swarms API and deployed on Cloudflare Workers edge network. ### 1. Cloudflare Workers Project Setup ```bash # Create new Cloudflare Workers project npm create cloudflare@latest autonomous-stock-agent cd autonomous-stock-agent # Install dependencies for Swarms API integration npm run start ``` ### 2. Configure Cloudflare Workers Cron Schedule Edit `wrangler.jsonc` to set up autonomous execution: ```jsonc { "$schema": "node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json", "name": "autonomous-stock-agent", "main": "src/index.js", "compatibility_date": "2025-08-03", "observability": { "enabled": true }, "triggers": { "crons": [ "0 */3 * * *" // Cloudflare Workers cron: autonomous analysis every 3 hours ] }, "vars": { "SWARMS_API_KEY": "your-swarms-api-key" // Your Swarms API key } } ``` ### 3. Cloudflare Workers + Swarms API Implementation Create `src/index.js`: ```javascript export default { // Cloudflare Workers fetch handler - Web interface for monitoring async fetch(request, env, ctx) { const url = new URL(request.url); if (url.pathname === '/') { return new Response(` Autonomous Stock Intelligence Agent
