Documentation

Installation# Python SDK

pip install daytona

TypeScript SDK

npm install @daytonaio/sdk

Features

  • Lightning-Fast Infrastructure: Sub-90ms Sandbox creation from code to execution.
  • Separated & Isolated Runtime: Execute AI-generated code with zero risk to your infrastructure.
  • Massive Parallelization for Concurrent AI Workflows: Fork Sandbox filesystem and memory state (Coming soon!)
  • Programmatic Control: File, Git, LSP, and Execute API
  • Unlimited Persistence: Your Sandboxes can live forever
  • OCI/Docker Compatibility: Use any OCI/Docker image to create a Sandbox

Quick Start

  1. Create an account at https://app.daytona.io
  2. Generate a new API key
  3. Follow the Getting Started docs to start using the Daytona SDK

Creating your first Sandbox# Python SDK

from daytona import Daytona, DaytonaConfig, CreateSandboxParams\n\n# Initialize the Daytona client
daytona = Daytona(DaytonaConfig(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY"))\n\n# Create the Sandbox instance
sandbox = daytona.create(CreateSandboxParams(language="python"))\n\n# Run code securely inside the Sandbox
response = sandbox.process.code_run('print("Sum of 3 and 4 is " + str(3 + 4))')
if response.exit_code != 0:
    print(f"Error running code: {response.exit_code} {response.result}")
else:
    print(response.result)\n\n# Clean up the Sandbox
daytona.remove(sandbox)

Typescript SDK

import { Daytona } from '@daytonaio/sdk'
async function main() {
    // Initialize the Daytona client
    const daytona = new Daytona({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY', })
    let sandbox
    try {
        // Create the Sandbox instance
        sandbox = await daytona.create({ language: 'python', })
        // Run code securely inside the Sandbox
        const response = await sandbox.process.codeRun('print("Sum of 3 and 4 is " + str(3 + 4))')
        if (response.exitCode !== 0) {
            console.error('Error running code:', response.exitCode, response.result)
        } else {
            console.log(response.result)
        }
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Sandbox flow error:', error)
    } finally {
        if (sandbox) await daytona.remove(sandbox)
    }
}
main().catch(console.error)
