// Get information about the file
const info = await sandbox.files.getInfo('test_file.txt')

console.log(info)

//   name: 'test_file.txt',
//   type: 'file',
//   path: '/home/user/test_file.txt'
// }
```

Python

```py
from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

sandbox = Sandbox()

# Create a new file
sandbox.files.write('test_file', 'Hello, world!')

# Get information about the file

What is E2B?

E2B is an open-source infrastructure that allows you to run AI-generated code in secure isolated sandboxes in the cloud. To start and control sandboxes, use our JavaScript SDK or Python SDK.

Run your first Sandbox

1. Install SDK

pip install e2b-code-interpreter

2. Get your E2B API key

  1. Sign up to E2B here.
  2. Get your API key here.
  3. Set environment variable with your API key
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***

3. Execute code with code interpreter inside Sandbox

from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

with Sandbox() as sandbox:
    sandbox.run_code("x = 1")
    execution = sandbox.run_code("x+=1; x")
    print(execution.text)  # outputs 2

4. Check docs
