What is E2B?

E2B provides isolated sandboxes that let agents safely execute code, process data, and run tools. Our SDKs make it easy to start and manage these environments.

Start a sandbox and run code in a few lines:

```bash JavaScript & TypeScript npm i e2b ``` ```bash Python pip install e2b ``` ```javascript JavaScript & TypeScript import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create() // Needs E2B_API_KEY environment variable const result = await sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B Sandbox!"') console.log(result.stdout)

```python Python
from e2b import Sandbox

sandbox = Sandbox.create()  # Needs E2B_API_KEY environment variable
result = sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B Sandbox!"')
print(result.stdout)

E2B building blocks

A quick overview of the core building blocks you'll interact with when using E2B.

  • Sandbox — A fast, secure Linux VM created on demand for your agent

  • Template — Defines what environment a sandbox starts with

How to use the docs

The documentation is split into three main sections:

  • Quickstart — Step-by-step tutorials that walk you through creating your first E2B sandboxes.

  • Examples — In-depth tutorials focused on specific use cases. Pick the topics that match what you're building.

  • SDK Reference — A complete technical reference for every SDK method, parameter, and configuration option.

Examples

Build AI agents that see, understand, and control virtual Linux desktops using E2B Desktop sandboxes. Use E2B sandboxes in your GitHub Actions workflows to run testing, validation, and AI code reviews.
