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.

1. Get Your API Key

👉 Need an account? Sign up for access

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

pip install daytona_sdk

npm install @daytonaio/sdk

3. Write Your Code

Python
TypeScript

Create a file named: main.py

from daytona_sdk 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
daytona.remove(sandbox)

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 daytona.remove(sandbox)
