sentry auth token

Print the stored authentication token

Print the stored authentication token to stdout.

Usage

sentry auth token

Description

Print the stored authentication token to stdout without any formatting. This command is designed for piping to other commands or scripts.

The token is printed without a trailing newline when stdout is not a TTY (e.g., when piped), making it suitable for shell scripting.

This command outputs the raw, unmasked token. Use with caution and avoid logging or displaying the token in insecure contexts.

Options

This command has no options.

Examples

Print token

sentry auth token

Expected output:

sntrys_eyJpYXQiOjE3MzUwNjQ2MjMsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vc2VudHJ5LmlvIiwidXNlcl9pZCI6NzM0NTY3LCJyZWdpb24iOiJ1cyJ9Xjw

Use in shell scripts

Store the token in a variable:

TOKEN=$(sentry auth token)
echo "Token length: ${#TOKEN}"

Pipe to clipboard

On macOS:

sentry auth token | pbcopy

On Linux (with xclip):

sentry auth token | xclip -selection clipboard

Use with curl

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(sentry auth token)" \
  https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/

Verify token format

sentry auth token | grep -o '^sntrys_'

Expected output:

sntrys_

Error Cases

Not authenticated

If no token is stored:

sentry auth token

Expected output:

Error: Not authenticated. Run 'sentry auth login' first.

For a safer alternative that masks the token by default, use sentry auth status. Use sentry auth status --show-token to see the full token with additional context.
