Get started with BugsRadar

Updated 1 October 2026 · BugsRadar team

Connect an application in a few minutes: a project and a channel in the web app, then a package for your platform or one HTTP request.

Set up with Claude Code

The fastest way: Claude Code adds BugsRadar to your project for you.

1. Create a project and a channel at app.bugsradar.com, as in Quick start, and put the project's API key into the BUGSRADAR_KEY environment variable. Claude Code can't do this step for you.
2. Give Claude Code this prompt in your project's folder:

Add BugsRadar error alerts to this project.
1. Read https://bugsradar.com/docs/ and pick the guide for this project's platform: .NET, Node.js, Python, or plain HTTP for scripts.
2. Install the package and connect it to the logging the project already uses and to uncaught errors.
3. Read the API key from the BUGSRADAR_KEY environment variable. Never write the key into code or into files that get committed.
4. Use BugsRadar only in code that runs on servers, never in browser, mobile or desktop apps.
5. Send one test error, then tell me what you changed.

Claude Code reads the guide for your platform, installs the package and connects it to your logging; the test error arrives in your channel. The same prompt works in Cursor, GitHub Copilot and other AI coding assistants.

Quick start

1. Create a project. Sign in at app.bugsradar.com with your email and open the link from the email in the same browser: it signs you in and creates your account the first time. Press New project and copy the project's API key.
2. Add a channel. On the project's page press Add channel and choose Telegram, Discord or Pushover, or with Business Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat or PagerDuty. BugsRadar checks the credentials with the service before saving them; Send test sends a test message.
3. Connect your application with the key: install the package for .NET, Node.js or Python, or send alerts from any script over HTTP.
4. Try it. Report a test error: it arrives in your channel within seconds.

Not sure which key an application uses? The Check API Key page of the web app shows which of your projects a key belongs to.

Choose your platform

• .NET - dotnet add package BugsRadar: an ILogger provider and direct calls, plus BugsRadar.Serilog, BugsRadar.NLog and BugsRadar.Log4Net for those loggers, for ASP.NET Core, worker services, desktop and console apps.
• Node.js - npm install bugsradar: uncaught errors, Express, winston and pino, with TypeScript types.
• Python - pip install bugsradar: the standard logging module, loguru, uncaught exceptions, Django, Flask and FastAPI.
• Any script - one HTTP request with curl or PowerShell. Ready-made guides for SQL Server Agent jobs, backups, CI/CD pipelines, cron, Task Scheduler and systemd.
• CLEF and Seq clients - point Serilog.Sinks.Seq or another Seq client at BugsRadar, with no BugsRadar package: the errors in your CLEF events go to your channels.
