}
payload = {
    "language": "rust",
    "code": 'fn main() { println!("Computing..."); }',
    "ttl": 300,
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
job = response.json()
job_id = job["job_id"]

print(f"Job submitted: {job_id}")

# Poll for results
status_url = f"https://api.unsandbox.com/jobs/{job_id}"
while True:
    status_response = requests.get(status_url, headers=headers)
    status = status_response.json()

    if status["status"] == "completed":

        break
    elif status["status"] in ["timeout", "cancelled"]:

Example (Python)

import os
import requests

url = "https://api.unsandbox.com/jobs"
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ.get("UNSANDBOX_API_KEY", "unsb-sk-test0-vault-unlck-12345")}"

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
jobs = response.json()

for job in jobs:
    print(f"{job['job_id']}: {job['status']} ({job['language']})")

Response

{
  "jobs": [
    {
      "job_id": "job_1234567890_abc",

Limits

• Maximum files: 10 files per execution
• Maximum total size: 10MB (decoded)
• Maximum single file: 5MB (decoded)

File Access

Files are placed in the working directory. Access them directly:

• Python: open('data.csv')
• Node.js: fs.readFileSync('data.csv')

• Go: os.ReadFile("data.csv")

Security

• Files are isolated per execution
