# Environments

## Create Environment

`beta.environments.create(EnvironmentCreateParams**kwargs)  -> BetaEnvironment`

**post** `/v1/environments`

Create a new environment with the specified configuration.

### Parameters

  Human-readable name for the environment

- `config: Optional[Config]`

      Environment type

      - `"cloud"`

    - `networking: Optional[Networking]`

      Network configuration policy. Omit on update to preserve the existing value.

## Record Heartbeat

`beta.environments.work.heartbeat(strwork_id, WorkHeartbeatParams**kwargs)  -> BetaSelfHostedWorkHeartbeatResponse`

**post** `/v1/environments/{environment_id}/work/{work_id}/heartbeat`

Note: these endpoints are called automatically by the pre-built environment worker provided in the SDKs and CLI, for orchestrating sessions with self-hosted sandbox environments. They are included here as a reference; you do not need to invoke them directly.

Record a heartbeat for a work item to maintain the lease.

### Parameters

- `environment_id: str`

- `work_id: str`

- `desired_ttl_seconds: Optional[int]`

  Desired TTL in seconds

- `expected_last_heartbeat: Optional[str]`

  Expected last_heartbeat for conditional update (optimistic concurrency). Use literal 'NO_HEARTBEAT' to claim an unclaimed lease (first heartbeat). For subsequent heartbeats, echo the server's previous last_heartbeat value exactly. Returns 412 Precondition Failed if the actual value doesn't match.

- `betas: Optional[List[AnthropicBetaParam]]`

  Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.

## Domain Types

### Beta Self Hosted Work

- `class BetaSelfHostedWork: …`

  Work resource representing a unit of work in a self-hosted environment.

  Work items are queued when sessions are created or when long-dormant sessions
  receive new messages. The environment worker polls for work to execute in a
  self-hosted sandbox.

  - `id: str`

    Work identifier (e.g., 'work_...')

  - `acknowledged_at: Optional[str]`

    RFC 3339 timestamp when the work item was acknowledged and assigned to a self-hosted sandbox

  - `created_at: str`

    RFC 3339 timestamp when work was created

  - `data: BetaSessionWorkData`

    The actual work to be performed

    - `id: str`

      Session identifier (e.g., 'session_...')

    - `type: Literal["session"]`

      Type of work data

      - `"session"`

  - `environment_id: str`

    Environment identifier this work belongs to (e.g., `env_...`)

  - `latest_heartbeat_at: Optional[str]`

    RFC 3339 timestamp of the most recent heartbeat

  - `metadata: Dict[str, str]`

    User-provided metadata key-value pairs associated with this work item

  - `started_at: Optional[str]`

    RFC 3339 timestamp when work execution started

  - `state: Literal["queued", "starting", "active", 2 more]`

    Current state of the work item

    - `"queued"`

    - `"starting"`

    - `"active"`

    - `"stopping"`

    - `"stopped"`

  - `stop_requested_at: Optional[str]`

    RFC 3339 timestamp when stop was requested

  - `stopped_at: Optional[str]`

    RFC 3339 timestamp when work execution stopped

  - `type: Literal["work"]`

    The type of object (always 'work')

    - `"work"`

### Beta Self Hosted Work Heartbeat Response

- `class BetaSelfHostedWorkHeartbeatResponse: …`

  Response after recording a heartbeat for a work item.

  - `last_heartbeat: str`

    RFC 3339 timestamp of the actual heartbeat from DB

  - `lease_extended: bool`

    Whether the heartbeat succeeded in extending the lease

  - `state: Literal["queued", "starting", "active", 2 more]`

    Current state of the work item (active/stopping/stopped)

    - `"queued"`

    - `"starting"`

    - `"active"`

    - `"stopping"`

    - `"stopped"`

  - `ttl_seconds: int`

    Effective TTL applied to the lease

  - `type: Literal["work_heartbeat"]`

    The type of response

    - `"work_heartbeat"`

### Beta Self Hosted Work List Response

  Response when listing work items with cursor-based pagination.

  - `data: List[BetaSelfHostedWork]`

    List of work items

    - `id: str`

      Work identifier (e.g., 'work_...')

    - `acknowledged_at: Optional[str]`

      RFC 3339 timestamp when the work item was acknowledged and assigned to a self-hosted sandbox

    - `created_at: str`

      RFC 3339 timestamp when work was created

    - `data: BetaSessionWorkData`

      The actual work to be performed

      - `id: str`

        Session identifier (e.g., 'session_...')
