# daytona_toolbox_api_client — Daytona Toolbox API

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 8.8M/mo

## What it is and what it does

This is an OpenAPI-generated Python client library for the Daytona Toolbox API, a remote daemon service that exposes system-level operations over HTTP. It provides typed Python bindings for controlling a remote machine's mouse and keyboard, capturing screenshots, managing processes, performing file operations, and executing git commands through a REST API.

The package is designed for automation and integration scenarios where you need to programmatically control or monitor a remote Daytona daemon instance. It depends on urllib3 for HTTP transport, pydantic for request/response validation, python-dateutil for timestamp handling, and typing-extensions for type hints. The client uses a context-manager pattern (ApiClient) to manage connections and provides exception handling through ApiException.

Use it for:

- Automate GUI interactions (mouse clicks, keyboard input, screenshots) for testing or remote desktop automation workflows.
- Build integration layers between Python applications and a Daytona daemon for file and process management.
- Orchestrate multi-step workflows that combine file operations, process execution, and git operations on a remote system.
- Capture display state and window information programmatically for monitoring or logging purposes.
- Implement computer-use agents or AI systems that need to interact with desktop environments via API.

## Worth the install?

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

Auto-generated Python client for the Daytona Toolbox API, providing programmatic access to file operations, process execution, git operations, LSP, and computer use automation (mouse, keyboard, screenshots).

Yes, if you have a running Daytona daemon and need Python bindings to control it. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and has no known vulnerabilities. The main caveat is that it requires an external service to be useful, and the API is still in development (v0.0.0-dev), so breaking changes are possible.

## Install

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

## Installing daytona_toolbox_api_client

Before you install: Low install friction with four standard dependencies (urllib3, python-dateutil, pydantic, typing-extensions). Package is actively maintained with a release 3 days old and recent commits. Requires Python 3.10+.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions beyond attribution.

Quickstart:

pip install daytona-toolbox-api-client

import daytona_toolbox_api_client
from daytona_toolbox_api_client.rest import ApiException

configuration = daytona_toolbox_api_client.Configuration(
    host="http://localhost:22221"
)
with daytona_toolbox_api_client.ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    api_instance = daytona_toolbox_api_client.ComputerUseApi(api_client)
    request = daytona_toolbox_api_client.MouseClickRequest()
    response = api_instance.click(request)

Requires a running Daytona Daemon service listening on the configured host (defaults to http://localhost:22221).

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package works with Python versions between 3.8 and 3.10, given the description mentions 3.8+ but requires_python specifies >=3.10.
- Stability and API compatibility guarantees for a v0.0.0-dev API version.
- Whether all documented API endpoints are fully functional or if some are still in development.
