Official Sentry SDK for Python

Welcome to the official Python SDK for Sentry.

📦 Getting Started

Prerequisites

You need a Sentry account and project.

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 traces for performance monitoring.
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,

    # To disable sending user data and HTTP request/response bodies, uncomment
    # the line below. For more info visit:
    # https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/configuration/options/#data_collection
    # data_collection={"user_info": False, "http_bodies": []},
)

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:

import sentry_sdk
sentry_sdk.init(...)  # same as above

sentry_sdk.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.

🚧 Migrating Between Versions?

From 1.x to 2.x

If you're using the older 1.x version of the SDK, now's the time to upgrade to 2.x. It includes significant upgrades and new features. Check our migration guide for assistance.

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.
