Daytona

Daytona is open-source, secure, and elastic infrastructure for running AI-generated code. Daytona sandboxes spin up in under 90 milliseconds and provide isolated Linux, Windows, and macOS environments where autonomous agents and developer workflows can execute untrusted code, perform file system and Git operations, run language servers, drive virtual desktops, and persist state via snapshots and volumes. The platform exposes a control-plane REST API (sandboxes, snapshots, volumes, organizations, runners, webhooks) and an in-sandbox Toolbox API (file system, Git, LSP, process execution, PTY, computer use, interpreter), with official SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Go, and Java, plus a Go CLI and Homebrew/Windows installers.

agent ready

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Daytona the way a machine reads it — 163 machine-readable artifacts across 12 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Daytona scores 63.4/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 31/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Daytona

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Daytona. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 39

Arazzo Workflows 8

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.

Daytona Build and Activate a Snapshot

Register a snapshot from a container image, poll until it builds, and activate it if it lands inactive.

ARAZZO

Daytona Capture a Sandbox as a Snapshot

Snapshot a live sandbox into a reusable image and wait for the sandbox to return to running.

ARAZZO

Daytona Fork a Sandbox

Fork an existing sandbox into a new independent copy and wait until the fork is running.

ARAZZO

Daytona From Container Image to Running Sandbox

Build a snapshot from an image, wait for it to build, then launch and run a sandbox from it.

ARAZZO

Daytona Provision a Volume and Attach It to a New Sandbox

Create a persistent volume, wait until it is ready, then launch a sandbox with the volume mounted.

ARAZZO

Daytona Restore an Archived Sandbox

Start an archived or stopped sandbox and wait until it is running again.

ARAZZO

Daytona Stop and Archive a Sandbox

Stop a running sandbox, wait until it is fully stopped, then archive it to cold storage.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Daytona, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
