​
Basic Usage

from gravixlayer import GravixLayer

client = GravixLayer(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

sandbox = client.sandbox.sandboxes.create(template="python-base-v1", timeout=300)
sid = sandbox.sandbox_id

result = client.sandbox.sandboxes.run_code(
    sid,
    code='import math\nresult = math.sqrt(16)\nprint(f"Result: {result}")',
    language="python",
)
print(result.logs)

client.sandbox.sandboxes.kill(sid)

Response

{
  "execution_id": "exec_abc123",
  "results": {
    "stdout": [
      {
        "type": "stdout",
        "line": "Result: 4.0",
        "timestamp": "2025-01-27T10:30:00Z"
      }
    ]
  },
  "error": null,
  "logs": {
    "stdout": ["Result: 4.0"],
    "stderr": []
  }
}

​
Key Features

  • Persistent State: Variables and imports remain between executions
  • Output Handling: Capture stdout, stderr, and return values
  • Error Handling: Detailed error messages and stack traces
  • Resource Limits: Protection against resource exhaustion

​
Quick Examples

​
Python Data Analysis

import pandas as pd
data = pd.DataFrame({'name': ['Alice', 'Bob'], 'age': [25, 30]})
print(f"Average age: {data['age'].mean()}")

​
JavaScript Web Server

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/status', (req, res) => res.json({status: 'ok'}));
console.log('Server configured');
