Koyeb python sdk
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The SDK is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive Apache-2.0 license, and solves a real problem—safe, on-demand code execution in the cloud. It's well-suited for CI/CD, untrusted code execution, and rapid prototyping. Requires an API token and Koyeb account; verify pricing and sandbox quotas before committing to production use.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a Koyeb API token set via the KOYEB_API_TOKEN environment variable; Python >= 3.9.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit on 2026-08-12.

What it is and what it does
The Koyeb SDK is the official Python interface to Koyeb's cloud platform, offering both synchronous and asynchronous REST API clients for programmatic control of deployments and services. Its primary feature is the Sandbox module, which lets you spin up isolated, ephemeral environments—containerized or virtualized spaces where you can safely execute untrusted code, test libraries, or prototype applications without affecting other systems. Sandboxes are designed to be short-lived and fully disposable, with complete control over dependencies and runtime context.
The SDK exposes methods for sandbox lifecycle management (create, delete), file operations (read, write), command execution, and port exposure. It depends on httpx for async HTTP calls, urllib3 for sync requests, pydantic for data validation, websockets for real-time communication, and python-dateutil for timestamp handling. It requires Python 3.9 or later and is actively maintained with low installation friction.
Use it for
- Execute user-generated or untrusted code safely in isolated environments without risking your host system.
- Prototype and test applications quickly in clean, on-demand compute environments without local infrastructure setup.
- Run CI/CD pipeline steps in ephemeral sandboxes that spin up in seconds and leave no state behind.
- Provide safe, reproducible code execution environments for educational platforms or online coding tools.
- Evaluate AI models or run inference workloads in isolated, time-limited execution contexts.
