title: "Daytona"
description: "Run the daemon in a Daytona workspace."
---
<Warning>
Daytona Tier 3+ is required to access api.anthropic.com and api.openai.com. Tier 1/2 sandboxes have restricted network access that will cause agent failures. See [Daytona network limits](https://www.daytona.io/docs/en/network-limits/) for details.
</Warning>
## Prerequisites
- `DAYTONA_API_KEY` environment variable
- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or `OPENAI_API_KEY` for the coding agents
## TypeScript Example
```typescript
import { Daytona } from "@daytonaio/sdk";
import { SandboxAgentClient } from "sandbox-agent";
const daytona = new Daytona();
// Pass API keys to the sandbox
const envVars: Record<string, string> = {};
if (process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) envVars.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY;
if (process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY) envVars.OPENAI_API_KEY = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY;
const sandbox = await daytona.create({ envVars });
// Install sandbox-agent
await sandbox.process.executeCommand(
"curl -fsSL https://releases.rivet.dev/sandbox-agent/latest/install.sh | sh"
);
// Start the server in the background
await sandbox.process.executeCommand(
"nohup sandbox-agent server --no-token --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000 >/tmp/sandbox-agent.log 2>&1 &"
);
// Wait for server to be ready
await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 2000));
// Get the public URL
const baseUrl = (await sandbox.getSignedPreviewUrl(3000, 4 * 60 * 60)).url;
// Connect and use the SDK
const client = new SandboxAgentClient({ baseUrl, agent: "mock" });
await client.createSession("my-session", {
agent: "claude",
permissionMode: "default",
});
// Cleanup when done
await sandbox.delete();
```
## Using Snapshots for Faster Startup
For production, use snapshots with pre-installed binaries:
```typescript
import { Daytona, Image } from "@daytonaio/sdk";
const daytona = new Daytona();
const SNAPSHOT = "sandbox-agent-ready";
// Create snapshot once (takes 2-3 minutes)
const hasSnapshot = await daytona.snapshot.get(SNAPSHOT).then(() => true, () => false);
if (!hasSnapshot) {
await daytona.snapshot.create({
name: SNAPSHOT,
image: Image.base("ubuntu:22.04").runCommands(
"apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl ca-certificates",
"curl -fsSL https://releases.rivet.dev/sandbox-agent/latest/install.sh | sh",
"sandbox-agent install-agent claude",
"sandbox-agent install-agent codex",
),
});
}
// Now sandboxes start instantly
const sandbox = await daytona.create({
snapshot: SNAPSHOT,
envVars,
});
```
See [Daytona Snapshots](https://daytona.io/docs/snapshots) for details.
