# Google Gen AI | Sentry for React Native

*Import name: `Sentry.instrumentGoogleGenAIClient`*

The `instrumentGoogleGenAIClient` helper adds instrumentation for the [`@google/genai`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@google/genai) SDK by wrapping a Google Gen AI client instance and recording LLM interactions with configurable input/output capture. The OpenTelemetry-based automatic integration available for Node.js does not work in React Native, so wrapping the client manually is the only supported path.

## [Usage](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/integrations/google-genai.md#usage)

```javascript
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react-native";
import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const genAI = new GoogleGenAI({
  // Warning: API keys included in your app bundle will be visible to anyone who
  // inspects the bundle. Proxy LLM calls through your own backend whenever possible.
  apiKey: "your-api-key",
});

const client = Sentry.instrumentGoogleGenAIClient(genAI, {
  recordInputs: true,
  recordOutputs: true,
});

// Use the wrapped client instead of the original genAI instance
const result = await client.models.generateContent("Hello!");
```

Make sure [tracing is enabled](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/tracing.md) for the spans produced by this integration to be captured.

## [Configuration](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/integrations/google-genai.md#configuration)

### [Options](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/integrations/google-genai.md#options)

The following options control what data is captured from Google Gen AI SDK calls:

#### [`recordInputs`](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/integrations/google-genai.md#recordinputs)

*Type: `boolean` (optional)*

Records inputs to Google Gen AI SDK calls (such as prompts and messages).

Defaults to `true` if `sendDefaultPii` is `true`.

#### [`recordOutputs`](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/integrations/google-genai.md#recordoutputs)

*Type: `boolean` (optional)*

Records outputs from Google Gen AI SDK calls (such as generated text and responses).

Defaults to `true` if `sendDefaultPii` is `true`.

## [Supported Operations](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/integrations/google-genai.md#supported-operations)

By default, tracing support is added to the following Google Gen AI SDK calls:

* `models.generateContent()` - Generate content with a given model
* `models.generateContentStream()` - Stream content generation with a given model
* `chats.create()` - Create chat sessions
* `sendMessage()` - Send messages in chat sessions
* `sendMessageStream()` - Stream messages in chat sessions

Streaming and non-streaming requests are automatically detected and handled appropriately.

## [Supported Versions](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/integrations/google-genai.md#supported-versions)

* `@google/genai`: `>=0.10.0 <2`
