Execute code in multiple languages directly on GBOX

Overview

The Run Code feature allows you to execute code in multiple programming languages directly on GBOX.

Supported Languages

Language	Identifier	Description
Python	python	Python 3.x with common packages
TypeScript	typescript	TypeScript with tsx runtime
Bash	bash	Bash shell commands

Usage

TypeScript

import GboxSDK from "gbox-sdk";
import * as dotenv from "dotenv";

dotenv.config();

const gboxSDK = new GboxSDK({
  apiKey: process.env["GBOX_API_KEY"],
});

async function main() {
  try {
    // Create a Linux box
    const box = await gboxSDK.create({ type: "linux" });

    // Example 1: Simple Python code execution
    console.log("=== Python Example ===");
    const pythonResult1 = await box.runCode("print('Hello, world!')");
    console.log(pythonResult1);

    // Example 2: Python code with explicit language specification
    const pythonResult2 = await box.runCode({
      code: `print("Hello, world!")`,
      language: "python",
    });
    console.log(pythonResult2);
