class AsyncVolume()
E2B Volume for persistent storage that can be mounted to sandboxes (async).

​
create

@classmethod
async def create(cls, name: str, **opts: Unpack[ApiParams]) -> "AsyncVolume"
Create a new volume. Arguments:
  • name: Name of the volume
Returns: An AsyncVolume instance for the new volume

​
connect

@classmethod
async def connect(cls, volume_id: str,
                  **opts: Unpack[ApiParams]) -> "AsyncVolume"
Connect to an existing volume by ID. Arguments:
  • volume_id: Volume ID
Returns: An AsyncVolume instance for the existing volume

​
destroy

@staticmethod
async def destroy(volume_id: str, **opts: Unpack[ApiParams]) -> bool
Destroy a volume. Arguments:
  • volume_id: Volume ID

​
make_dir

async def make_dir(path: str,
                   uid: Optional[int] = None,
                   gid: Optional[int] = None,
                   mode: Optional[int] = None,
                   force: Optional[bool] = None,
                   **opts: Unpack[VolumeApiParams]) -> VolumeEntryStat
Create a directory. Arguments:
  • path: Path to the directory to create
  • uid: User ID of the created directory
  • gid: Group ID of the created directory
  • mode: Mode of the created directory
  • force: Create parent directories if they don’t exist
  • opts: Connection options
Returns: Information about the created directory

​
exists

async def exists(path: str, **opts: Unpack[VolumeApiParams]) -> bool
Check whether a file or directory exists. Uses get_info under the hood. Returns True if the path exists, False if it does not (404). Other errors are re-raised. Arguments:
  • path: Path to the file or directory
  • opts: Connection options
Returns: True if the path exists, False otherwise

​
update_metadata

async def update_metadata(path: str,
                          uid: Optional[int] = None,
                          gid: Optional[int] = None,
                          mode: Optional[int] = None,
                          **opts: Unpack[VolumeApiParams]) -> VolumeEntryStat
Update file or directory metadata. Arguments:
  • path: Path to the file or directory
  • uid: User ID of the file or directory
  • gid: Group ID of the file or directory
  • mode: Mode of the file or directory
  • opts: Connection options
Returns: Updated entry information

​
read_file

async def read_file(
    path: str,
    format: Literal["text", "bytes", "stream"] = "text",
    **opts: Unpack[VolumeApiParams]
) -> Union[str, bytes, AsyncIterator[bytes]]
Read file content. You can pass text, bytes, or stream to format to change the return type. Arguments:
  • path: Path to the file
  • format: Format of the file content—text by default
  • opts: Connection options
Returns: File content as string, bytes, or async iterator of bytes

​
write_file

async def write_file(path: str,
                     data: Union[str, bytes, IO[bytes]],
                     uid: Optional[int] = None,
                     gid: Optional[int] = None,
                     mode: Optional[int] = None,

                     **opts: Unpack[VolumeApiParams]) -> VolumeEntryStat
Write content to a file. Writing to a file that doesn’t exist creates the file. Writing to a file that already exists overwrites the file. Arguments:
  • path: Path to the file
  • data: Data to write to the file. Data can be a string, bytes, or IO.
  • uid: User ID of the created file
  • gid: Group ID of the created file
