Official Sentry SDK for Python

Welcome to the official Python SDK for Sentry!

Getting Started

Installation

Getting Sentry into your project is straightforward. Just run this command in your terminal:

pip install --upgrade sentry-sdk

Basic Configuration

Here’s a quick configuration example to get Sentry up and running:

import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    "https://12927b5f211046b575ee51fd8b1ac34f@o1.ingest.sentry.io/1",  # Your DSN here

    # Set traces_sample_rate to 1.0 to capture 100%
    # of transactions for performance monitoring.
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,
)

With this configuration, Sentry will monitor for exceptions and performance issues.

Quick Usage Example

To generate some events that will show up in Sentry, you can log messages or capture errors:

from sentry_sdk import capture_message
capture_message("Hello Sentry!")  # You'll see this in your Sentry dashboard.

raise ValueError("Oops, something went wrong!")  # This will create an error event in Sentry.

From raven-python

Using the legacy raven-python client? It's now in maintenance mode, and we recommend migrating to the new SDK for an improved experience. Get all the details in our migration guide.
