Get started in three steps

Integrate Sentinel into your application and start tracking API analytics immediately.
1

Create your Sentinel account

Sign up for a Sentinel account to get started.
2

Create your API key

Create your API key from the dashboard and set it to the SENTINEL_API_KEY environment variable.
Store your API key safely. Never commit it to version control.
3

Install one of the SDKs

Verify it’s working

After adding the middleware, make a few requests to your API. You should see events appearing in your Sentinel dashboard within seconds.
Events are automatically batched and sent to the ingestion API, so you may see a slight delay before they appear in the dashboard.
