class sentry_sdk.Client(dsn=None, with_locals=True, max_breadcrumbs=100, release=None, environment=None, server_name=None, shutdown_timeout=2, integrations=[], in_app_include=[], in_app_exclude=[], default_integrations=True, dist=None, transport=None, transport_queue_size=100, sample_rate=1.0, send_default_pii=False, http_proxy=None, https_proxy=None, ignore_errors=[], request_bodies='medium', before_send=None, before_breadcrumb=None, debug=False, attach_stacktrace=False, ca_certs=None, propagate_traces=True, traces_sample_rate=None, traces_sampler=None, auto_enabling_integrations=True, auto_session_tracking=True, send_client_reports=True, _experiments={})[source]¶

capture_event(event, hint=None, scope=None)¶

Captures an event.

Parameters

event (Dict[str, Any]) – A ready-made event that can be directly sent to Sentry.
hint (Optional[Dict[str, Any], None]) – Contains metadata about the event that can be read from before_send, such as the original exception object or a HTTP request object.

Return type

Optional[str, None]

Returns

An event ID. May be None if there is no DSN set or of if the SDK decided to discard the event for other reasons. In such situations setting debug=True on init() may help.

close(timeout=None, callback=None)¶

Close the client and shut down the transport. Arguments have the same semantics as Client.flush().

Return type: None

property dsn¶

Returns the configured DSN as string.

Return type: Optional[str, None]

flush(timeout=None, callback=None)¶

Wait for the current events to be sent.

Parameters

timeout (Optional[float, None]) – Wait for at most timeout seconds. If no timeout is provided, the shutdown_timeout option value is used.

Return type

None

class sentry_sdk.HttpTransport(options)[source]¶

The default HTTP transport.

capture_envelope(envelope)[source]¶

Send an envelope to Sentry.

Envelopes are a data container format that can hold any type of data submitted to Sentry. We use it for transactions and sessions, but regular “error” events should go through capture_event for backwards compat.

Return type: None

capture_event(event)[source]¶

This gets invoked with the event dictionary when an event should be sent to sentry.

Return type: None

flush(timeout, callback=None)[source]¶

Wait timeout seconds for the current events to be sent out.

Return type: None

kill()[source]¶

Forcefully kills the transport.

Return type: None

record_lost_event(reason, data_category=None, item=None)[source]¶

This increments a counter for event loss by reason and data category.

Return type: None

class sentry_sdk.Hub(client_or_hub=None, scope=None)[source]¶

The hub wraps the concurrency management of the SDK. Each thread has its own hub but the hub might transfer with the flow of execution if context vars are available.

If the hub is used with a with statement it’s temporarily activated.

add_breadcrumb(crumb=None, hint=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Adds a breadcrumb.

Parameters

crumb (Optional[Dict[str, Any], None]) – Dictionary with the data as the sentry v7/v8 protocol expects.

Return type

None

bind_client(new)[source]¶

Binds a new client to the hub.

Return type: None

capture_event(event, hint=None, scope=None, **scope_args)[source]¶

Captures an event. Alias of sentry_sdk.Client.capture_event().

Captures an exception.

Parameters: error (Union[BaseException, Tuple[Optional[Type[BaseException], None], Optional[BaseException, None], Optional[traceback, None]], None]) – An exception to catch. If None, sys.exc_info() will be used.
Return type: Optional[str, None]
Returns: An event_id if the SDK decided to send the event (see sentry_sdk.Client.capture_event()).

capture_message(message, level=None, scope=None, **scope_args)[source]¶

Captures a message. The message is just a string. If no level is provided the default level is info.

Return type: Optional[str, None]
Returns: An event_id if the SDK decided to send the event (see sentry_sdk.Client.capture_event()).

property client¶

Returns the current client on the hub.

Return type: Optional[Client, None]

Returns: If no callback is provided, returns a context manager that returns the scope.

end_session()[source]¶

flush(timeout=None, callback=None)[source]¶

Alias for sentry_sdk.Client.flush()

Return type: None

get_integration(name_or_class)[source]¶

Returns the integration for this hub by name or class. If there is no client bound or the client does not have that integration then None is returned.

If the return value is not None the hub is guaranteed to have a client attached.

Return type: Any

iter_trace_propagation_headers(span=None)[source]¶

Return HTTP headers which allow propagation of trace data. Data taken from the span representing the request, if available, or the current span on the scope if not.

Return type: Generator[Tuple[str, str], None, None]

last_event_id()[source]¶

Returns the last event ID.

Return type: Optional[str, None]

push_scope(callback)

Pushes a new layer on the scope stack.

Parameters: callback (Optional[Callable[[Scope], None], None]) – If provided, this method pushes a scope, calls callback, and pops the scope again.
Return type: Optional[ContextManager[Scope], None]
Returns: If no callback is provided, a context manager that should be used to pop the scope again.

resume_auto_session_tracking()[source]¶

Resumes automatic session tracking for the current scope if disabled earlier. This requires that generally automatic session tracking is enabled.

Return type: None

run(callback)[source]¶

Runs a callback in the context of the hub. Alternatively the with statement can be used on the hub directly.

Return type: ~T

property scope¶

Returns the current scope on the hub.

Return type: Scope

start_session(session_mode='application')[source]¶

Starts a new session.

Return type: None

start_span(span=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Create and start timing a new span whose parent is the currently active span or transaction, if any. The return value is a span instance, typically used as a context manager to start and stop timing in a with block.

Only spans contained in a transaction are sent to Sentry. Most integrations start a transaction at the appropriate time, for example for every incoming HTTP request. Use start_transaction to start a new transaction when one is not already in progress.

Return type: Span

start_transaction(transaction=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Start and return a transaction.

Start an existing transaction if given, otherwise create and start a new transaction with kwargs.

This is the entry point to manual tracing instrumentation.

A tree structure can be built by adding child spans to the transaction, and child spans to other spans. To start a new child span within the transaction or any span, call the respective .start_child() method.

Every child span must be finished before the transaction is finished, otherwise the unfinished spans are discarded.

When used as context managers, spans and transactions are automatically finished at the end of the with block. If not using context managers, call the .finish() method.

When the transaction is finished, it will be sent to Sentry with all its finished child spans.

Return type: Transaction

This temporarily session tracking for the current scope when called. To resume session tracking call resume_auto_session_tracking.

Return type: None

Return type: str

class sentry_sdk.Scope[source]¶

The scope holds extra information that should be sent with all events that belong to it.

Adds an attachment to future events sent.

Return type: None

Return type

None

add_event_processor(func)[source]¶
