Box Public API v1

ascii-box-sdk

Use Box from your application code.

Install

pip install ascii-box-sdk

Links

• SDK docs: https://docs.ascii.dev/box/sdks
• API reference: https://docs.ascii.dev/box/api/reference
• Dashboard: https://box.ascii.dev/dashboard
• API keys: https://box.ascii.dev/box/dashboard?tab=api-keys

Flow

1. Create an API key in the Box dashboard.
2. Create or resume a Box.
3. Prompt the Box.
4. Read events until the work is done.
5. Open desktop access when you need browser or GUI visibility.
6. Stop, resume, fork, or delete the Box according to your retention policy.

Notes

• Put cleanup in finally: stop/archive or delete Boxes you create for tests.
• Treat API key secrets, Box secrets, SSH keys, and desktop stream URLs as sensitive.
• updateSecrets / update_secrets replaces the entire secret setup. Read the current setup first and send every env var and secret file that should remain.
• rotateApiKey / rotate_api_key rotates the raw secret in place. Store the returned secret immediately; it is shown once.
• Repository selection is idempotent. Selecting an already-selected repository updates its base branch.

from ascii_box_sdk import ApiClient, Configuration
from ascii_box_sdk.api.box_api import BoxApi
from ascii_box_sdk.models.create_box_request import CreateBoxRequest
from ascii_box_sdk.models.prompt_request import PromptRequest
from ascii_box_sdk.models.update_box_request import UpdateBoxRequest

config = Configuration(
    host=os.getenv("BOX_BASE_URL", "https://ascii.dev/api/box/v1"),
    access_token=os.environ["BOX_API_KEY"],
)

box_id = None
with ApiClient(config) as client:
    box = BoxApi(client)

    try:
        created = box.create(CreateBoxRequest(ttl_seconds=1800))
        box_id = created.box.id

        box.update(box_id, UpdateBoxRequest(name="sdk-demo"))

        while box.get(box_id).box.state not in {"ready", "idle"}:
            time.sleep(2)

        box.prompt(
            box_id,
            PromptRequest(
                provider="codex",
                prompt="Inspect the repository and summarize the test command.",
            ),
        )

        events = box.events(box_id)
        print(events.events)
    finally:
        if box_id:
            box.stop(box_id)
