sentry auth whoami

Show the currently authenticated user

Fetch and display the identity of the currently authenticated user.

Usage

sentry auth whoami [options]

Description

Display the currently authenticated user’s identity by fetching live from the Sentry API. Unlike sentry auth status, this command only shows who you are — no token details, no defaults, no org verification.

This calls the Sentry API live (not cached) so the result always reflects the current token. Works with all token types: OAuth, API tokens, and OAuth App tokens.

This is a top-level alias for convenience. You can also run sentry whoami without the auth subcommand.

Options

--json · boolean · default: "false"

Output as JSON. The JSON format includes id, name, username, and email fields.

Examples

Show current user

sentry auth whoami

Expected output:

[e-mail] (username)

JSON output

sentry auth whoami --json

Expected output:

{
  "id": "734567",
  "name": "John Doe",
  "username": "johndoe",
  "email": "[e-mail]"
}

Using top-level alias

sentry whoami

Expected output:

[e-mail] (username)

Use whoami for a quick identity check. For comprehensive authentication details including token status and defaults, use sentry auth status instead.
