You can download data from the sandbox using the files.read() method.
import fs from 'fs' import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()  // Read file from sandbox const content = await sandbox.files.read('/path/in/sandbox') // Write file to local filesystem fs.writeFileSync('/local/path', content) 

Download with pre-signed URL

Sometimes, you may want to let users from unauthorized environments, like a browser, download files from the sandbox. For this use case, you can use pre-signed URLs to let users download files securely. All you need to do is create a sandbox with the secure: true option. A download URL will then be generated with a signature that allows only authorized users to access files. You can optionally set an expiration time for the URL so that it will be valid only for a limited time.
import fs from 'fs' import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'  // Start a secured sandbox (all operations must be authorized by default) const sandbox = await Sandbox.create(template, { secure: true })  // Create a pre-signed URL for file download with a 10 second expiration const publicUrl = await sandbox.downloadUrl(  'demo.txt', {  useSignatureExpiration: 10_000, // optional  }, )  // Download a file with a pre-signed URL (this can be used in any environment, such as a browser) const res = await fetch(publicUrl) const content = await res.text()
