Before you can create or manage containers, you must first initialize the Fermion Sandbox client in Python. The Sandbox(api_key=...) constructor establishes a secure connection between your Python application and Fermion’s backend infrastructure, authenticating every subsequent operation you perform. This step does not immediately create a container and instead, it prepares the client instance for later actions such as creating sandboxes, reconnecting to existing sessions, or running commands.

​
Sandbox(api_key: str)

Description:
Creates a new Sandbox client instance. This does not create a container yet, you will need to call create() or from_snippet() after initialization. Parameters:
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
api_keystrYesYour Fermion API key from the dashboard
Returns:
Sandbox instance

​
Example:

from fermion_sandbox import Sandbox

# Initialize the Fermion Sandbox client
sandbox = Sandbox(api_key="your-api-key")
