Containers API

The Containers API provides secure, stateful, isolated sandboxes where agents can run code and shell commands (for example, Python) to process data.

This API supports multi-step, computation-heavy workflows, such as analysis, file upload and download, and generating artifacts, providing a managed place for agents to run code and apply programmatic logic to complete complex tasks.

Note

The Containers API uses the same format as the OpenAI Containers API. See OpenAI Containers API documentation.
