Daytona

class Daytona()

Main class for interacting with the Daytona API.

This class provides methods to create, manage, and interact with Daytona Sandboxes. It can be initialized either with explicit configuration or using environment variables.

Attributes:

volume VolumeService - Service for managing volumes.
snapshot SnapshotService - Service for managing snapshots.

Example:

Using environment variables:

daytona = Daytona()  # Uses DAYTONA_API_KEY, DAYTONA_API_URL
sandbox = daytona.create()

Using explicit configuration:

config = DaytonaConfig(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    api_url="https://your-api.com",
    target="us"
)
daytona = Daytona(config)
sandbox = daytona.create()

Using OpenTelemetry tracing:

config = DaytonaConfig(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    experimental={"otelEnabled": True}  # Enable OpenTelemetry tracing through experimental config
)
async with Daytona(config) as daytona:
    sandbox = daytona.create()
    # All SDK operations will be traced
# OpenTelemetry traces are flushed on close

Daytona.init

def __init__(config: DaytonaConfig | None = None)

Initializes Daytona instance with optional configuration.

If no config is provided, reads from environment variables:

DAYTONA_API_KEY: Required API key for authentication
DAYTONA_API_URL: Required api URL
DAYTONA_TARGET: Optional target environment (if not provided, default region for the organization is used)

Arguments:

config DaytonaConfig | None - Object containing api_key, api_url, and target.

Raises:

DaytonaError - If API key is not provided either through config or environment variables

Example:

from daytona import Daytona, DaytonaConfig
# Using environment variables
daytona1 = Daytona()

# Using explicit configuration
config = DaytonaConfig(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    api_url="https://your-api.com",
    target="us"
)
daytona2 = Daytona(config)

Daytona.create

@overload
def create(params: CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams | None = None,
           *,
           timeout: float = 60) -> Sandbox

Creates Sandboxes from specified or default snapshot. You can specify various parameters, including language, image, environment variables, and volumes.

Arguments:

params CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams | None - Parameters for Sandbox creation. If not provided, defaults to default Daytona snapshot and Python language.
timeout float - Timeout (in seconds) for sandbox creation. 0 means no timeout. Default is 60 seconds.

Returns:

Sandbox - The created Sandbox instance.

Raises:

DaytonaError - If timeout, auto_stop_interval or auto_archive_interval is negative; If sandbox fails to start or times out

Example:

Create a default Python Sandbox:

sandbox = daytona.create()

Create a custom Sandbox:

params = CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams(
    language="python",
    snapshot="my-snapshot-id",
    env_vars={"DEBUG": "true"},
    auto_stop_interval=0,
    auto_archive_interval=60,
    auto_delete_interval=120
)
sandbox = daytona.create(params, timeout=40)

Daytona.create

@overload
def create(
        params: CreateSandboxFromImageParams | None = None,
        *,
        timeout: float = 60,
        on_snapshot_create_logs: Callable[[str], None] | None = None
) -> Sandbox

Creates Sandboxes from specified image available on some registry or declarative Daytona Image. You can specify various parameters, including resources, language, image, environment variables, and volumes. Daytona creates snapshot from provided image and uses it to create Sandbox.

Arguments:

params CreateSandboxFromImageParams | None - Parameters for Sandbox creation from image.
timeout float - Timeout (in seconds) for sandbox creation. 0 means no timeout. Default is 60 seconds.
on_snapshot_create_logs Callable[[str], None] | None - This callback function handles snapshot creation logs.

DaytonaError - If timeout, auto_stop_interval or auto_archive_interval is negative; If sandbox fails to start or times out

Example:

Create a default Python Sandbox from image:

sandbox = daytona.create(CreateSandboxFromImageParams(image="debian:12.9"))

Create a custom Sandbox from declarative Image definition:

declarative_image = (
    Image.base("alpine:3.18")
    .pipInstall(["numpy", "pandas"])
    .env({"MY_ENV_VAR": "My Environment Variable"})
)
params = CreateSandboxFromImageParams(
    language="python",
    image=declarative_image,

    resources=Resources(cpu=2, memory=4),
    auto_stop_interval=0,
    auto_archive_interval=60,
    auto_delete_interval=120
)
sandbox = daytona.create(

CodeLanguage

class CodeLanguage(str, Enum)

Programming languages supported by Daytona

Enum Members:

PYTHON (“python”)
TYPESCRIPT (“typescript”)
JAVASCRIPT (“javascript”)

DaytonaConfig

class DaytonaConfig(BaseModel)

Configuration options for initializing the Daytona client.

Attributes:

api_key str | None - API key for authentication with the Daytona API. If not set, it must be provided via the environment variable DAYTONA_API_KEY, or a JWT token must be provided instead.
jwt_token str | None - JWT token for authentication with the Daytona API. If not set, it must be provided via the environment variable DAYTONA_JWT_TOKEN, or an API key must be provided instead.
organization_id str | None - Organization ID used for JWT-based authentication. Required if a JWT token is provided, and must be set either here or in the environment variable DAYTONA_ORGANIZATION_ID.
api_url str | None - URL of the Daytona API. Defaults to 'https://app.daytona.io/api' if not set here or in the environment variable DAYTONA_API_URL.
server_url str | None - Deprecated. Use api_url instead. This property will be removed in a future version.
target str | None - Target runner location for the Sandbox. Default region for the organization is used if not set here or in the environment variable DAYTONA_TARGET.
connection_pool_maxsize int | None - Maximum number of simultaneous HTTP connections the SDK will open. Defaults to 250. Set to None to remove the limit, which is recommended when running many concurrent long-lived operations like process.exec.
otel_enabled bool | None - Enable OpenTelemetry tracing for SDK operations. Defaults to None, which falls back to the DAYTONA_OTEL_ENABLED environment variable.
_experimental dict[str, any] | None - Configuration for experimental features.

Example:

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

config = DaytonaConfig(jwt_token="your-jwt-token", organization_id="your-organization-id")

CreateSandboxBaseParams

class CreateSandboxBaseParams(BaseModel)

Base parameters for creating a new Sandbox.

Attributes:

name str | None - Name of the Sandbox.
language CodeLanguage | CodeLanguageLiteral | None - Programming language for the Sandbox. Defaults to “python”.
os_user str | None - OS user for the Sandbox.
env_vars dict[str, str] | None - Environment variables to set in the Sandbox.
labels dict[str, str] | None - Custom labels for the Sandbox.
public bool | None - Whether the Sandbox should be public.
timeout float | None - Timeout in seconds for Sandbox to be created and started.
auto_stop_interval int | None - Interval in minutes after which Sandbox will automatically stop if no Sandbox event occurs during that time. Default is 15 minutes. 0 means no auto-stop.
auto_archive_interval int | None - Interval in minutes after which a continuously stopped Sandbox will automatically archive. Default is 7 days. 0 means the maximum interval will be used.
auto_delete_interval int | None - Interval in minutes after which a continuously stopped Sandbox will automatically be deleted. By default, auto-delete is disabled. Negative value means disabled, 0 means delete immediately upon stopping.
volumes list[VolumeMount] | None - List of volumes mounts to attach to the Sandbox.
network_block_all bool | None - Whether to block all network access for the Sandbox.
network_allow_list str | None - Comma-separated list of allowed CIDR network addresses for the Sandbox.
ephemeral bool | None - Whether the Sandbox should be ephemeral. If True, auto_delete_interval will be set to 0.
linked_sandbox str | None - ID or name of an existing Sandbox to link the new Sandbox to. The new Sandbox will be scheduled on the same runner as the linked Sandbox so a local network can be established between them. Linked Sandboxes must be ephemeral (auto_delete_interval=0) and cannot themselves be linked to another Sandbox.

class CreateSandboxFromImageParams(CreateSandboxBaseParams)

Parameters for creating a new Sandbox from an image.

Attributes:

image str | Image - Custom Docker image to use for the Sandbox. If an Image object is provided, the image will be dynamically built.
