string

Sandbox id.

curl -X DELETE https://api.podflare.ai/v1/sandboxes/$SID

sbx.close()
# or, automatically on context-manager exit:

await sbx.close();

What happens

The sandbox’s microVM is stopped, its working directory is cleaned up, and its id is removed from the server’s active set. Destroying an already-destroyed id is a no-op (200 or 204).

Typical time

~30–50 ms end-to-end.
