Async-first via httpx. One required dep. Typed exceptions.

⚠️ Async-only. All public methods are coroutines. Wrap with asyncio.run() from sync code.

🚀 Install

pip install rustbox        # or: uv pip install rustbox / poetry add rustbox

⚡ Quickstart

import asyncio, os
from rustbox import Rustbox

async def main():
    client = Rustbox(os.environ["RUSTBOX_API_KEY"])
    result = await client.run(language="python", code="print('hello')")
    print(result["result"]["verdict"], result["output"]["stdout"])  # AC hello

asyncio.run(main())

run() submits, waits for sync completion, polls if needed, returns the verdict.

Response shape (schema v2)

{
  "id": "uuid",
  "schema_version": "2.0",
  "language": "python",
  "profile": "judge",
  "status": "completed",
  "timestamps": { "created_at": "...", "started_at": "...", "completed_at": "..." },
  "result": {
    "verdict": "AC",
    "cause": "normal_exit",
    "actor": "runtime",
    "exit_code": 0,
    "signal": null,
    "error_message": null
  },
  "output": { "stdout": "42\n", "stderr": "", "integrity": "complete" },
  "metrics": {
    "cpu_time_secs": 0.013,
    "wall_time_secs": 0.02,
    "memory_peak_bytes": 3715072,
    "cpu_wall_ratio": 0.65,
    "divergence": "cpu_bound"
  },
  "evidence": {
    "isolation": { "mode": "strict", "controls_applied": [], "controls_missing": [] },
    "limits": { "cgroup_backend": "cgroup_v2", "cgroup": { "memory_peak_bytes": 3715072, "oom_kill_events": 0 } },
    "teardown": { "reap_status": "clean", "zombie_count": 0, "cleanup_verified": true }
  }
}

verdict is one of AC | RE | TLE | MLE | PLE | FSE | SIG | IE. status is one of pending | running | completed | error. Read the verdict at result["result"]["verdict"], output at result["output"]["stdout"], and timing at result["metrics"]["cpu_time_secs"].

Profiles

# Judge profile (default) - short evaluation runs, no egress proxy.
await client.run("python", "print(1)")

# Agent profile - longer jobs, egress proxy on, per-key byte budget.
# Requires a non-trial API key.
await client.run("python", "...", profile="agent")

🔒 Errors
