# daytona_api_client — Daytona

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 8.9M/mo

## What it is and what it does

daytona-api-client is a generated Python SDK for the Daytona cloud development environment platform. It wraps Daytona's HTTP API, allowing developers to programmatically create sandboxes, execute code remotely, and manage development environments from Python code. The package depends on urllib3 for HTTP requests, python-dateutil for timestamp handling, pydantic for data validation, and typing-extensions for type hints.

The client is actively maintained and released frequently (latest release 3 days old). It targets modern Python (3.10+) and carries no known security vulnerabilities. The Apache-2.0 license permits unrestricted commercial and private use. Installation is straightforward with minimal dependencies, making it suitable for integration into automation scripts, CI/CD pipelines, or applications that need to provision and control remote development environments.

Use it for:

- Automate sandbox creation and code execution in CI/CD pipelines for testing or deployment workflows.
- Build developer tools or IDEs that need to provision cloud-based development environments on demand.
- Integrate remote code execution capabilities into applications or services without managing infrastructure.
- Script repetitive development tasks like environment setup, testing, or code analysis across multiple sandboxes.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Generated Python API client for Daytona, a cloud development environment platform, providing programmatic access to create and manage sandboxes and execute code remotely.

Yes. The package is actively maintained, carries no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is licensed permissively. It is suitable for production use if you are already using Daytona's platform and need programmatic access from Python. Install it if you need to automate sandbox management or integrate Daytona into a Python application; skip it if you do not use Daytona.

## Install

pip install daytona-api-client
uv add daytona-api-client
poetry add daytona-api-client

## Installing daytona_api_client

Before you install: Low install friction with four lightweight runtime dependencies. Actively maintained with a release 3 days old; the package is current and the repository shows recent activity.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache-2.0, a permissive license allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; safe for most projects.

Quickstart:

pip install daytona-api-client

from daytona_api_client import Daytona

daytona = Daytona(api_key='your-api-key')
sandbox = daytona.create()
response = sandbox.process.codeRun('print("Hello")')

Requires Python 3.10 or later; DAYTONA_API_KEY environment variable or explicit API key must be set to authenticate.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package is the canonical Python client or a generated wrapper; the description mentions OpenAPI-Generator but does not clarify the generation process or stability guarantees.
- What specific Daytona platform features are exposed through this client version (0.204.0) and whether breaking changes occur frequently across minor versions.
