API Key

To use the API key, you can either:

  • Set the API key as the E2B_API_KEY environment variable to avoid passing it each time you create a sandbox.
  • Or pass it directly to the Sandbox constructor as shown below:
import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' })

Where to find API key

You can get your API key at dashboard.


Access Token

The access token is used only in the CLI and is not needed in the SDK. There's no need to set it when logging into the CLI using e2b auth login.

To authenticate without the browser, you can set E2B_ACCESS_TOKEN as an environment variable. This is useful for CI/CD pipelines.
