Sentry API

Use the Sentry API via direct curl calls to manage error tracking, issues, projects, and releases.

Official docs: https://docs.sentry.io/api/

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

  • List and search issues - find errors and exceptions
  • Resolve or ignore issues - manage issue status
  • View issue details - get stack traces and event data
  • Manage projects - list and configure projects
  • Track releases - create and monitor releases
  • View events - get detailed error events

Prerequisites

  1. Go to Sentry → Settings (gear icon in sidebar) → Account → API → Personal Tokens
  2. Click Create New Token
  3. Select the required scopes (see below) — scopes cannot be edited after creation
  4. Copy the generated token
export SENTRY_HOST="sentry.io" # Or your self-hosted Sentry domain
export SENTRY_TOKEN="sntrys_..." # Personal Auth Token
export SENTRY_ORG="your-org-slug" # Your organization slug

Required Scopes

  • project:read - List and view projects
  • event:read - View issues and events
  • event:write - Update issues (resolve, ignore, assign)
  • project:releases - View and create releases

Important: When using $VAR in a command that pipes to another command, wrap the command containing $VAR in bash -c '...'. Due to a Claude Code bug, environment variables are silently cleared when pipes are used directly.

bash -c 'curl -s "https://api.example.com" -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"'

How to Use

All examples below assume SENTRY_HOST, SENTRY_TOKEN, and SENTRY_ORG are set.

Base URL: https://${SENTRY_HOST}/api/0

1. List Your Projects

Get all projects you have access to:

bash -c 'curl -s "https://${SENTRY_HOST}/api/0/projects/" --header "Authorization: Bearer ${SENTRY_TOKEN}"' | jq '.[] | {slug, name, platform, dateCreated}'

2. Get Project Details

Get details for a specific project:

Note: Replace my-project with your actual project slug from the "List Your Projects" output above.

PROJECT_SLUG="my-project"

bash -c 'curl -s "https://${SENTRY_HOST}/api/0/projects/${SENTRY_ORG}/${PROJECT_SLUG}/" --header "Authorization: Bearer ${SENTRY_TOKEN}"' | jq '{slug, name, platform, status, dateCreated}'

3. List Organization Issues

Get all issues across the organization:

bash -c 'curl -s "https://${SENTRY_HOST}/api/0/organizations/${SENTRY_ORG}/issues/" --header "Authorization: Bearer ${SENTRY_TOKEN}"' | jq '.[] | {id, shortId, title, culprit, status, count, userCount, firstSeen, lastSeen}

Query parameters:

  • query=is:unresolved - Filter by status
  • query=error.type:TypeError - Filter by error type
  • sort=date - Sort by last seen (default)
  • sort=new - Sort by first seen
  • sort=freq - Sort by event count

4. List Project Issues

Get issues for a specific project:

Note: Replace my-project with your actual project slug from the "List Your Projects" output.

PROJECT_SLUG="my-project"

bash -c 'curl -s "https://${SENTRY_HOST}/api/0/projects/${SENTRY_ORG}/${PROJECT_SLUG}/issues/" --header "Authorization: Bearer ${SENTRY_TOKEN}"' | jq '.[] | {id, shortId, title, status, count, lastSeen}

5. Search Issues

Search issues with query:

Write to /tmp/sentry_query.txt:

is:unresolved level:error

bash -c 'curl -s -G "https://${SENTRY_HOST}/api/0/organizations/${SENTRY_ORG}/issues/" --header "Authorization: Bearer ${SENTRY_TOKEN}" --data-urlencode "query@/tmp/sentry_query.txt"' | jq '.[] | {shortId, title, level, count}

Common query filters:

  • is:unresolved / is:resolved / is:ignored - By status
  • level:error / level:warning / level:info - By level
  • assigned:me / assigned:none - By assignee
  • browser:Chrome - By browser
  • os:Windows - By OS
  • release:1.0.0 - By release version

6. Get Issue Details

Get details for a specific issue:

Note: Replace 123456789 with an actual issue ID from the "List Issues" or "List Project Issues" output (use the id field, not shortId).

ISSUE_ID="123456789"

Issue Status Values

Status Description
unresolved Active issue (default)
resolved Manually resolved
resolvedInNextRelease Auto-resolve on next release
ignored Ignored (won't alert)

Guidelines

  1. Use organization slug: Most endpoints use org slug, not ID
  2. Pagination: Use cursor parameter for paginated results
  3. Query syntax: Use Sentry's query language for powerful filtering
  4. Rate limits: Sentry has rate limits; implement backoff for 429 responses
  5. Self-hosted: For self-hosted Sentry, set SENTRY_HOST to your domain
  6. Scopes matter: Ensure your token has required scopes for each operation
