Documented steps
POST /api/0/organizations/{organization_id_or_slug}/releases/ with JSON {"version":"1.0.0","projects":["project-slug"]} — docs: https://docs.sentry.io/api/releases/create-a-new-release-for-an-organization/
Associate commits at creation with a commits array ({id, repository, message}) or refs array ({repository, commit, previousCommit}).
201 returns the release object. version must be unique within the org; it can be a semver string or a commit SHA.
Finalize/update: PUT /api/0/organizations/{org}/releases/{version}/ (e.g. set dateReleased) — docs: https://docs.sentry.io/api/releases/update-an-organizations-release/
Accepted token scopes include org:ci, project:releases, project:write, project:admin.
Known gotchas
projects array is required at creation — at least one project slug.
Without previousCommit in refs, Sentry may not compute an accurate commit diff for the release — supply it when you can.
The same version string across projects in one org is treated as ONE release — uniquify per project if you need separate tracking.
resolvedInNextRelease issue workflows depend on releases being finalized — set dateReleased when the deploy actually ships.
