E2B Code Interpreter

E2B Code Interpreter is open-source infrastructure and a set of Python and JavaScript/TypeScript SDKs for creating cloud sandboxes and executing AI-generated code within them. The SDK sources have moved to the E2B monorepo, while this repository retains the sandbox template and chart data extractor.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when an AI application needs to execute generated code in a cloud sandbox, or when you need to create a customized sandbox template. Consult the E2B monorepo for the moved SDK sources and issues.

Who it is for

  • Developers adding generated-code execution to an AI application.
  • Teams that need Python or JavaScript/TypeScript code to run in cloud sandboxes.
  • Developers customizing sandbox templates with additional packages or runtimes.

Documented uses

  • Create and control a cloud sandbox from an application using the Python or JavaScript/TypeScript SDK.
  • Run generated code and retrieve its text output.
  • Build a custom sandbox template for additional packages or a different runtime.
  • Use the retained chart data extractor in chart-data extraction workflows.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The README’s first-sandbox setup requires signing up for E2B and obtaining an API key. The repository describes the infrastructure as open source and lists an Apache-2.0 license.

  • Choose the Python or JavaScript/TypeScript SDK according to the application stack.
  • The API-key-based setup requires an E2B account.
  • SDK source code has moved to the E2B monorepo; the current repository retains the sandbox template and chart data extractor.
  • Custom packages or runtimes are handled through a custom sandbox template guide.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up and run a first sandbox

Install an E2B SDK, configure an API key, and run a short code expression in a sandbox.

Before you start

  • A Python or JavaScript/TypeScript development environment
  • An E2B account and API key

Steps

  1. Install the SDK with the command below for Python or the command below for JavaScript/TypeScript.

    Documented command
    pip install e2b-code-interpreter
    Documented command
    npm i @e2b/code-interpreter

  2. Sign up to E2B, retrieve an API key from the dashboard, and set it as the E2B_API_KEY environment variable.

  3. Use the SDK to create a sandbox, run code such as x = 1 followed by x+=1; x, and read the execution text output.

Expected outcome

A sandbox executes the sample expression and returns its text output; the README’s example shows `2`.

Guide limitations

  • The SDK sources now live in the E2B monorepo; this repository retains the sandbox template and chart data extractor.
  • This setup example covers a simple code execution flow, not custom template creation.
