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

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.
