code-interpreter

What it is

E2B Code Interpreter 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.

How it works

The repository offers a JavaScript/TypeScript SDK (@e2b/code-interpreter) and a Python SDK (e2b-code-interpreter) to create a Sandbox, execute code inside the sandbox, and retrieve results. Examples show creating a sandbox and running code snippets, then accessing execution.text for the output.

Getting started

Install the SDKs as shown:

JavaScript / TypeScript

npm i @e2b/code-interpreter

Python

pip install e2b-code-interpreter

Get an API key and set it in the environment as:

E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***

Usage examples for JavaScript/TypeScript:

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

const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
await sbx.runCode('x = 1')

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

Usage examples for Python:

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
