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.
Run your first Sandbox
1. Install SDK
JavaScript / TypeScript
npm i @e2b/code-interpreter
Python
pip install e2b-code-interpreter
2. Get your E2B API key
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***
3. Execute code with code interpreter inside Sandbox
JavaScript / TypeScript
import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
await sbx.runCode('x = 1')
const execution = await sbx.runCode('x+=1; x')
console.log(execution.text) // outputs 2
Python
from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox
with Sandbox() as sandbox:
sandbox.run_code("x = 1")
execution = sandbox.run_code("x+=1; x")
print(execution.text) # outputs 2
4. Check docs
