Library Usage

Use Sentry CLI programmatically in Node.js (≥22) or Bun without spawning a subprocess:

import createSentrySDK from "sentry";

const sdk = createSentrySDK({ token: "sntrys_..." });

// Typed methods for every CLI command
const orgs = await sdk.org.list();
const issues = await sdk.issue.list({ orgProject: "acme/frontend", limit: 5 });
const issue = await sdk.issue.view({ issue: "ACME-123" });

// Nested commands
await sdk.dashboard.widget.add({ display: "line", query: "count" }, "my-org/my-dashboard");

// Escape hatch for any CLI command
const version = await sdk.run("--version");
const text = await sdk.run("issue", "list", "-l", "5");

Options (all optional):

token — Auth token. Falls back to SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN / SENTRY_TOKEN env vars.
url — Sentry instance URL for self-hosted (e.g., "sentry.example.com").
org — Default organization slug (avoids passing it on every call).
project — Default project slug.
text — Return human-readable string instead of parsed JSON (affects run() only).
cwd — Working directory for DSN auto-detection. Defaults to process.cwd().
signal — AbortSignal to cancel streaming commands (--follow, --refresh).

Streaming commands return AsyncIterable — use for await...of and break to stop.

Errors are thrown as SentryError with .exitCode and .stderr.
