E2B
ActiveDescription
E2B provides secure cloud sandboxes for AI agents, supporting code execution, file operations, and isolated compute as an execution layer for coding and automation workflows.
Key Features
- Secure Cloud Sandboxes: Provides isolated cloud execution environment for AI agents
- Code Execution: Supports JavaScript/Python SDK to run AI-generated code
- File Operations: Perform file read/write and management within sandboxes
- Isolated Compute: Each sandbox runs independently, ensuring security
- Self-Hosting Support: Deploy via Terraform to AWS, GCP, and other cloud platforms
- Code Interpreter: Specialized code interpreter SDK for complex code execution
Use Cases
💡 AI Agent Code Execution: Provide secure code execution environment for coding agents
💡 Data Analysis: Execute data analysis scripts in isolated sandboxes
💡 Automation Workflows: Serve as execution layer for automation tasks
💡 Security Testing: Run untrusted code without affecting local systems
💡 Development Environments: Provide temporary cloud-based development environments
Quick Start
1. Install SDK: npm i e2b (JavaScript) or pip install e2b (Python)
2. Get E2B API key: Sign up at e2b.dev and get your key
3. Set environment variable: E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***
4. Start sandbox and run commands:
JavaScript: const sandbox = await Sandbox.create(); await sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
Python: with Sandbox.create() as sandbox: sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
