Quickstart
Get a sandbox running in under 2 minutes.
Install the SDK
npm install @lelantos-ai/sdkGet an API Key
Sign in to the Lelantos Dashboard and navigate to API Keys. Create a new key — it will start with lel_.
Create a Sandbox
import { LelantosClient } from "@lelantos-ai/sdk";
const client = new LelantosClient({
apiKey: process.env.LELANTOS_API_KEY!,
});
const sandbox = await client.createSandbox({
templateID: "base",
});
console.log("Sandbox ID:", sandbox.sandboxID);
console.log("URL:", sandbox.getURL());Upload & Download Files
// Upload a file
await sandbox.uploadFile("/home/user/hello.txt", "Hello from Lelantos!");
// Download it back
const data = await sandbox.downloadFile("/home/user/hello.txt");
console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(data));Manage Lifecycle
// Extend lifetime by 1 hour
await sandbox.refresh(3600);
// Pause to save resources (resume later)
await sandbox.pause();
// Resume when needed
await sandbox.resume();
// Clean up when done
await sandbox.kill();Lifecycle Events
Retrieve lifecycle events for any sandbox — even after it has been killed.
const events = await sandbox.getLogs();
for (const ev of events.logs) {
console.log(`[${ev.timestamp}] ${ev.line}`);
}
// [2026-03-06T10:00:52Z] sandbox.lifecycle.created
// [2026-03-06T10:00:52Z] sandbox.lifecycle.killedCustom Templates
Build a custom template from a Dockerfile. Set cpuCount (1–8) and memoryMB (128–8192). Defaults: 2 vCPU, 512 MB.
const template = await client.createTemplate({
dockerfile: "FROM python:3.12\nRUN pip install numpy pandas",
alias: "data-science",
cpuCount: 4,
memoryMB: 2048,
});
console.log("Template:", template.templateID);
console.log("Build:", template.buildID);
// Check build status
const status = await client.getTemplateBuildStatus(
template.templateID,
template.buildID,
);
console.log("Status:", status.status); // "building" | "ready" | "error"Use with cURL
