# sentry auth token

> Print the stored authentication token

Print the stored authentication token to stdout.

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
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.

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

## Options

This command has no options.

## Examples

### Print token

```bash theme={null}
sentry auth token
```

Expected output:

```
sntrys_eyJpYXQiOjE3MzUwNjQ2MjMsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vc2VudHJ5LmlvIiwidXNlcl9pZCI6NzM0NTY3LCJyZWdpb24iOiJ1cyJ9Xjw
```

### Use in shell scripts

Store the token in a variable:

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

### Pipe to clipboard

On macOS:

```bash theme={null}
sentry auth token | pbcopy
```

On Linux (with xclip):

```bash theme={null}
sentry auth token | xclip -selection clipboard
```

### Use with curl

```bash theme={null}
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(sentry auth token)" \
  https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/
```

### Verify token format

```bash theme={null}
sentry auth token | grep -o '^sntrys_'
```

Expected output:

```
sntrys_
```

## Error Cases

### Not authenticated

If no token is stored:

```bash theme={null}
sentry auth token
```

Expected output:

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

<Tip>
  For a safer alternative that masks the token by default, use [`sentry auth status`](/commands/auth/status). Use `sentry auth status --show-token` to see the full token with additional context.
