Anonymous remote code, compile, & execution API for humans & machine learning agents.
Docs 📚 View Pricing →The R examples below require the following 3rd party libraries:
httr2jsonlite
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.

Check the status and results of an asynchronous job. Poll this endpoint after submitting a job via /execute/async or /run/async.
URL Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id |
string | Job ID returned from async endpoint |
Example (R)
#!/usr/bin/env Rscript
library(httr2)
library(jsonlite)
api_key <- Sys.getenv("UNSANDBOX_API_KEY", "unsb-sk-test0-vault-unlck-12345")
response <- request("https://api.unsandbox.com/jobs/job_1234567890_abc") |>
req_headers(Authorization = paste0("Bearer ", api_key)) |>
req_perform()
result <- resp_body_json(response)
cat(toJSON(result, auto_unbox = TRUE, pretty = TRUE))
Response (Completed)
{
"job_id": "job_1234567890_abc",
"status": "completed",
"result": {
"success": true,
"stdout": "Hello from unsandbox!\n",
"stderr": "",
"error": null,
"language": "python",
"exit_code": 0
}
}
Possible Status Values
pending- Job queued, waiting to executerunning- Job currently executingcompleted- Job finished (check result field)timeout- Job exceeded TTL limitcancelled- Job was cancelled via DELETE
List all active (pending or running) jobs for your API key. Useful for monitoring multiple async executions.
Example (R)
#!/usr/bin/env Rscript
library(httr2)
library(jsonlite)
api_key <- Sys.getenv("UNSANDBOX_API_KEY", "unsb-sk-test0-vault-unlck-12345")
