What is E2B?

E2B is an open-source infrastructure that allows you run to AI-generated code in secure isolated sandboxes in the cloud. To start and control sandboxes, use our JavaScript SDK or Python SDK.

Source: packages/code-interpreter-python

Run your first Sandbox

1. Install SDK

pip install e2b-code-interpreter

2. Get your E2B API key

1. Sign up to E2B here.
2. Get your API key here.
3. Set environment variable with your API key.

E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***

3. Execute code with code interpreter inside Sandbox

from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

with Sandbox.create() as sandbox:
    sandbox.run_code("x = 1")
    execution = sandbox.run_code("x+=1; x")
    print(execution.text)  # outputs 2

4. Bind the configuration to a client

The top-level Sandbox and AsyncSandbox exports read their configuration from the environment variables. To use an explicit configuration — e.g. several API keys or domains in one process — create an E2B client and use the resource classes it exposes:

from e2b_code_interpreter import E2B

client = E2B(api_key="e2b_***", domain="e2b.dev")

with client.Sandbox.create() as sandbox:
    execution = sandbox.run_code("x = 1; x += 1; x")

# The async variant is exposed as well.
async_sandbox = await client.AsyncSandbox.create()

# The core resources are bound to the client's configuration as well.
volume = client.Volume.create("my-volume")
exists = client.Template.exists("my-template")
secret = client.Secret.create("openai-api-key", "sk-***")

# The classes can be assigned and used like the top-level ones.
Sandbox = client.Sandbox
paginator = Sandbox.list()

Per-call params still take precedence over the client's params, and clients are isolated from each other and from the env-configured top-level exports.
