Anonymous remote code, compile, & execution API for humans & machine learning agents.
Docs 📚 View Pricing →The Objective-C examples below require the following 3rd party libraries:
curl.h or NSURLSession
Make sure these packages are installed in your environment before running the examples.
Execute code immediately and wait for results. Best for quick scripts and interactive use.

Upload files to your sandbox execution. Files are written to the working directory and can be accessed directly by filename.
File Object Schema
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
filename |
string | Filename (e.g., "data.csv"). If omitted, file is named by index: "0", "1", etc. | |
content |
string | ✓ | Base64-encoded file content |
Example Request
{
"language": "python",
"code": "print(open('data.csv').read())",
"input_files": [
{
"filename": "data.csv",
"content": "bmFtZSxhZ2UKQWxpY2UsMzAKQm9iLDI1"
}
]
}
Limits
- Maximum files: 10 files per execution
- Maximum total size: 10MB (decoded)
- Maximum single file: 5MB (decoded)
- Filename length: 256 characters max
File Access
Files are placed in the working directory. Access them directly:
- Python:
open('data.csv') - Node.js:
fs.readFileSync('data.csv') - Ruby:
File.read('data.csv') - Go:
os.ReadFile("data.csv")
Security
- Files are isolated per execution
- Filenames cannot contain path separators (no
/or..) - Files are deleted after execution completes
