What is 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)
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)
