What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides essential knowledge for correctly using the E2B SDK, ensuring proper imports, API calls, and terminology when working with E2B sandboxes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Correct SDK Usage: Guides on choosing the right SDK package (Base vs. Code Interpreter).
  • API Patterns: Demonstrates correct namespacing for commands, files, and git operations.
  • Sandbox Creation: Emphasizes the use of Sandbox.create() and correct timeout units.
  • Use Case: When interacting with E2B sandboxes, this Skill ensures you use the correct sandbox.commands.run() syntax instead of a non-existent sandbox.run().

Quick Start

Use the E2B SDK to create a new sandbox with the code interpreter package.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an E2B sandbox using the SDK?

To create an E2B sandbox, use the `Sandbox.create()` method, ensuring you specify correct timeout units for your chosen language. This approach applies to both Base and Code Interpreter packages.

What is the difference between the E2B Base SDK and Code Interpreter?

The E2B Base SDK provides core namespaced operations for commands, files, and git, whereas the Code Interpreter package is tailored for executing code directly within the sandbox environment.

Why does my E2B sandbox.run() call fail in TypeScript?

Your E2B sandbox.run() call fails because the method does not exist; you must use correct namespacing like `sandbox.commands.run()` to execute commands successfully within the sandbox.

How do I execute commands and manage files in an E2B sandbox?

You execute commands and manage files by utilizing critical namespaced operations, specifically accessing them via `sandbox.commands`, `sandbox.files`, and `sandbox.git` API patterns.

Do I need to configure authentication methods to use the E2B SDK?

Yes, you must configure proper authentication methods before instantiating your E2B sandbox. The SDK provides specific terminology guidelines and API documentation to ensure correct setup.

How do I handle timeouts when creating a Python E2B sandbox?

When creating a Python E2B sandbox, you must use language-specific timeout units within the `Sandbox.create()` method to prevent premature termination of your sandbox operations.
