Daytona Documentation

The Daytona SDK provides official Python and TypeScript interfaces for interacting with Daytona, enabling you to programmatically manage development environments and execute code.

Quick Start

Run your first line of code in a Daytona Sandbox. Use our LLMs context files for faster development with AI assistants.

1. Get Your API Key

Go to the Daytona Dashboard.
Create a new API key. Make sure to save it securely, as it won’t be shown again.

pip install daytona

npm install @daytonaio/sdk

3. Write Your Code

Python
TypeScript

Create a file named: main.py

from daytona import Daytona, DaytonaConfig

# Define the configuration

config = DaytonaConfig(api_key="your-api-key")

# Initialize the Daytona client

daytona = Daytona(config)

# Create the Sandbox instance

sandbox = daytona.create()

# Run the code securely inside the Sandbox

response = sandbox.process.code_run('print("Hello World from code!")')
if response.exit_code != 0:
  print(f"Error: {response.exit_code} {response.result}")
else:
    print(response.result)

# Clean up

sandbox.delete()

Create a file named: index.mts

import { Daytona } from '@daytonaio/sdk';

// Initialize the Daytona client
const daytona = new Daytona({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

// Create the Sandbox instance
const sandbox = await daytona.create({
  language: 'typescript',
});

// Run the code securely inside the Sandbox
const response = await sandbox.process.codeRun('console.log("Hello World from code!")')
console.log(response.result);

// Clean up
await sandbox.delete()

4. Run It

Python
TypeScript

python main.py

npx tsx index.mts

✅ What You Just Did

Installed the Daytona SDK.
Created a secure sandbox environment.
Executed code remotely inside that sandbox.
Retrieved and displayed the output locally.

You’re now ready to use Daytona for secure, isolated code execution.
