The SDK lets you programmatically create sandboxes, execute processes, manage filesystems, attach persistent volumes, and generate preview URLs for web services running inside them. It supports both async and sync APIs and handles pagination for list operations.\n\nThe platform is designed for AI agent development and deployment, with co-hosted agent logic to reduce network latency. Authentication is automatic when using the Blaxel CLI or can be configured via environment variables or a config file. The default sandbox image is Alpine Linux with Node.js 22 and git; Python must be explicitly installed or a Python-specific image selected.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building on the Blaxel platform or need a Python interface to its sandbox infrastructure. The SDK is actively maintained, has low install friction, and covers core sandbox operations. However, verify the license terms first\u2014they are not declared in the package metadata\u2014and ensure your use case aligns with Blaxel's pricing and authentication model."},"id":"blaxel","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/blaxel","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/blaxel.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/blaxel/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"blaxel","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Blaxel - AI development platform SDK"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":162387,"position":10607,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.1"}
