Daytona

AI agent instructions

Read the Notte skill and follow its setup instructions when setting up Notte or building browser automation. This is the shared source for CLI setup, authentication, and the browser-to-code workflow.

Daytona runs agent code in sandboxes that start and resume in about a second. Pair it with Notte when an agent builds or runs an app in a sandbox and needs a real browser to check the result. The browser runs on Notte, so the sandbox’s memory stays free for the agent’s code. See the runnable Python example.

Set up

Use Python 3.11+, a Daytona API key, and a Notte API key. Install daytona, notte-sdk[playwright], and python-dotenv.

Open a sandbox app from your code

Serve the app from the sandbox and create a signed preview URL for its port. The URL carries its own token, so the browser needs no auth header. Daytona shows browsers a warning page on a preview URL’s first load; the X-Daytona-Skip-Preview-Warning header skips it. session.page is a Playwright page connected to the Notte browser over CDP.

from daytona import Daytona, SessionExecuteRequest
from notte_sdk import NotteClient

notte = NotteClient()
daytona = Daytona()
sandbox = daytona.create()
try:
    sandbox.fs.upload_file(b"<h1>Hello from Daytona</h1>", "/home/daytona/app/index.html")
    sandbox.process.create_session("app")
    sandbox.process.execute_session_command(
        "app", SessionExecuteRequest(command="cd /home/daytona/app && python3 -m http.server 3000", run_async=True)
    )
    # Wait until the server accepts connections.
    sandbox.process.exec("bash -c 'for i in $(seq 1 50); do curl -sf localhost:3000 > /dev/null && exit 0; sleep 0.2; done; exit 1'")
    url = sandbox.create_signed_preview_url(3000, expires_in_seconds=3600).url

    with notte.Session(extra_http_headers={"X-Daytona-Skip-Preview-Warning": "true"}) as session:
        page = session.page
        page.goto(url)
        print(page.locator("h1").inner_text())
finally:
    daytona.delete(sandbox)

Drive the browser from inside the sandbox

Agents running in the sandbox can use the Notte CLI. Install it and the Notte skills, which coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex pick up from ~/.agents/skills:

curl -fsSL https://notte.cc/install-cli.sh | sh
notte skill add --yes

Pass NOTTE_API_KEY to the sandbox commands, then drive the browser. Replace the example URL with the one create_signed_preview_url returns:

notte sessions start --extra-http-headers '{"X-Daytona-Skip-Preview-Warning": "true"}'
notte page goto https://3000-<token>.daytonaproxy01.net
notte page fill '#title' 'Ship the Daytona example'
notte page click 'button[type=submit]'
notte page scrape --only-main-content
notte sessions stop

The example stops the CLI session even when a command fails, and deletes the sandbox at the end. Its tests cover the sandbox commands and cleanup offline, and the full flow against real Daytona and Notte.
