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:

  • api_key str - API key for authentication.
  • api_url str - URL of the Daytona API.
  • target str - Default target location for Sandboxes.

Example:

Using environment variables:

daytona = Daytona() # Uses DAYTONA_API_KEY, DAYTONA_API_URL

Using explicit configuration:

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

Daytona.__init__

def __init__(config: Optional[DaytonaConfig] = 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 (defaults to SandboxTargetRegion.US)

Arguments:

  • config Optional[DaytonaConfig] - 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_sdk 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

@intercept_errors(message_prefix="Failed to create sandbox: ")
def create(params: Optional[CreateSandboxParams] = None,
timeout: Optional[float] = 60) -> Sandbox

Creates Sandboxes with default or custom configurations. You can specify various parameters, including language, image, resources, environment variables, and volumes for the Sandbox.

Arguments:

  • params Optional[CreateSandboxParams] - Parameters for Sandbox creation. If not provided, defaults to Python language.
  • timeout Optional[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 or auto_stop_interval is negative; If sandbox fails to start or times out

Example:

sandbox = daytona.create()

Create a custom Sandbox:

params = CreateSandboxParams(
language="python",
name="my-sandbox",
image="debian:12.9",
env_vars={"DEBUG": "true"},
resources=SandboxResources(cpu=2, memory=4096),
auto_stop_interval=0

def remove(sandbox: Sandbox, timeout: Optional[float] = 60) -> None

Removes a Sandbox.

Arguments:

  • sandbox Sandbox - The Sandbox instance to remove.
  • timeout Optional[float] - Timeout (in seconds) for sandbox removal. 0 means no timeout. Default is 60 seconds.

Raises:

  • DaytonaError - If sandbox fails to remove or times out

Example:

sandbox = daytona.create()
# ... use sandbox ...
daytona.remove(sandbox) # Clean up when done

Daytona.get_current_workspace

@deprecated(reason=(
"Method is deprecated. Use `get_current_sandbox` instead. This method will be removed in a future version."
))
def get_current_workspace(workspace_id: str) -> Workspace

Daytona.get_current_sandbox

@intercept_errors(message_prefix="Failed to get sandbox: ")
def get_current_sandbox(sandbox_id: str) -> Sandbox

Gets a Sandbox by its ID.

Arguments:

  • sandbox_id str - The ID of the Sandbox to retrieve.

Returns:

  • Sandbox - The Sandbox instance.

Raises:

  • DaytonaError - If sandbox_id is not provided.

Example:

sandbox = daytona.get_current_sandbox("my-sandbox-id")
print(sandbox.status)

Daytona.list

@intercept_errors(message_prefix="Failed to list sandboxes: ")
def list() -> List[Sandbox]

Lists all Sandboxes.

Returns:

  • List[Sandbox] - List of all available Sandbox instances.

Example:

sandboxes = daytona.list()
for sandbox in sandboxes:
print(f"{sandbox.id}: {sandbox.status}")

Daytona.start

def start(sandbox: Sandbox, timeout: Optional[float] = 60) -> None

Starts a Sandbox and waits for it to be ready.

Arguments:

  • sandbox Sandbox - The Sandbox to start.
  • timeout Optional[float] - Optional timeout in seconds to wait for the Sandbox to start. 0 means no timeout. Default is 60 seconds.

Raises:

  • DaytonaError - If timeout is negative; If Sandbox fails to start or times out

Daytona.stop

def stop(sandbox: Sandbox, timeout: Optional[float] = 60) -> None

Stops a Sandbox and waits for it to be stopped.

Arguments:

  • sandbox Sandbox - The sandbox to stop
  • timeout Optional[float] - Optional timeout (in seconds) for sandbox stop. 0 means no timeout. Default is 60 seconds.
