SDKs overview

Amika ships official SDKs that wrap the hosted API at app.amika.dev. Use them when you want to drive sandboxes from a program rather than the shell.

Available SDKs

@amika/sdk — sandboxes, sessions, secrets, agent invocations.

Read the source on GitHub.

More languages are coming. In the meantime, you can call the HTTP API directly — see API reference for the OpenAPI spec.

Use case	Tool
Day-to-day shell work, ad-hoc sandbox creation	CLI
Building automated pipelines, web apps, or background jobs	SDK
One-off scripts to drive an agent through a task	Either — see Programmatic usage
CI: spin up a sandbox per PR	SDK (or CLI in a job that has `AMIKA_API_KEY` set)

The Guides in this site show both side-by-side, so you can pick whichever matches the surface you’re working in.

It does not source credentials for you. The TypeScript SDK doesn’t read AMIKA_API_KEY from your environment or from disk — you pass a token via accessToken or tokenSource.
It does not run shell commands. Use SSH (via getSSH or the SSH guide) when you need a shell.
It does not stream agent output. agentSend blocks until the agent finishes and returns the full result.
