e2b-dev--e2b

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

Run your first Sandbox

1. Install SDK

npm i e2b

2. Get your E2B API key

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

E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***

3. Start a sandbox and run commands

import Sandbox from 'e2b'

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const result = await sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
console.log(result.stdout) // Hello from E2B!

4. Code execution with Code Interpreter

If you need runCode(), install the Code Interpreter SDK:

npm i @e2b/code-interpreter

import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const execution = await sandbox.runCode('x = 1; x += 1; x')
console.log(execution.text)  // outputs 2
