sentry api

Make raw authenticated API requests to the Sentry API. Similar to gh api for GitHub.

Usage

sentry api <endpoint> [flags]
The endpoint is relative to /api/0/ (do not include the prefix). Authentication is handled automatically using your stored credentials.

Arguments

  • endpoint (required) - API endpoint relative to /api/0/ (e.g., organizations/, issues/123/)

Flags

Request Method

  • -X, --method <method> - HTTP method for the request (default: GET)
    • Valid methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH

Request Body Options

Choose one of the following:
  • -d, --data <json> - Inline JSON body (like curl -d)
  • -i, --input <file> - Read body from file (or ”-” for stdin)
  • -F, --field <key=value> - Add a typed parameter (can be used multiple times)
  • -f, --raw-field <key=value> - Add a string parameter without JSON parsing (can be used multiple times)
Field Syntax (--field/-F):
  • key=value - Simple field (values parsed as JSON if valid)
  • key[sub]=value - Nested object: {key: {sub: value}}
  • key[]=value - Array append: {key: [value]}
  • key[] - Empty array: {key: []}
Use --raw-field/-f to send values as strings without JSON parsing.

Request Headers

  • -H, --header <Key: Value> - Add HTTP request header (can be used multiple times)

Output Options

  • --include - Include HTTP response status line and headers in the output
  • --silent - Do not print the response body
  • --verbose - Include full HTTP request and response in the output

Examples

List Organizations

sentry api organizations/

Get Issue Details

sentry api issues/123/

Update Issue Status (Inline JSON)

sentry api issues/123/ -X PUT -d '{"status":"resolved"}'

Update Issue Status (Using Fields)

sentry api issues/123/ -X PUT -F status=resolved

Create Project with Nested Fields

sentry api projects/my-org/my-project/ -F options[sampleRate]=0.5

Add Team Member

sentry api teams/my-org/my-team/members/ -F user[email]=user@example.com

Read Body from File

sentry api projects/my-org/my-project/ -X PUT --input project.json

Read Body from stdin

echo '{"name":"New Project"}' | sentry api projects/my-org/new-project/ -X POST --input -

Custom Headers

sentry api organizations/ -H "X-Custom-Header: value"

Include Response Headers

sentry api organizations/ --include

Verbose Output (curl-style)

sentry api organizations/ --verbose

Notes

  • The Sentry API requires trailing slashes on endpoints. The command automatically adds them if missing.
  • Field flags (-F/-f) are mutually exclusive with --data and --input.
  • For GET requests, fields are sent as query parameters. For other methods, they’re sent as JSON body.
  • Arrays in field syntax: key[]=value1 -F key[]=value2 creates {key: [value1, value2]}
  • The command exits with code 1 for HTTP 4xx/5xx responses.
  • Response bodies are automatically pretty-printed as JSON when applicable.
