Description

I want to manually instrument using start_transaction function as documented here. The docs mention the function but I can't find info anywhere on that docs page or in the pydocs in the source code what kwargs I can or should pass, and what their effect is. what does op mean? what about name. Similar issues apply to start_span

Suggested Solution

document kwargs we might want to pass to start_transaction and start_span and what they actually do.

ref(api): Type hinting for start_transaction kwargs (#2796)
7ee8e77 
This PR adds be type hints for the `**kwargs` that can be passed to `sentry_sdk.start_transaction`, thereby clearly documenting the parameters that can be passed directly in the code.

Ref getsentry/sentry-docs#5082

  - We intend to add to the docs page at least the most useful arguments defined in the `TransactionKwargs` type that this PR introduces.

ref: Remove deprecated Transaction creation method (#2917)
cf5a94f 
This has been deprecated for 4 years, so I suppose we can remove it now in 2.0.

Removing the __new__ method also fixes our API docs for the Span and Transaction constructors. 

Partially addresses getsentry/sentry-docs#5082

docs: Move transaction __init__ doc comment content (#2918)
2e71de8 
This change moves the Transaction constructor's parameter doctsring from the __init__ method to the class's docstring. This way, the API docs display the parameter descriptions under the class. When the docstring is defined on __init__, the parameter descriptions are missing from the API docs.

This change also documents the kwargs parameter in the API docs.

docs: Document Transaction and Span kwargs typed dicts (#2923)

Repeating the doc comments also on the kwargs typed dicts enables better hinting in VSCode

ref: Improve start_transaction docs (#2920)
9e3ae56 
This commit adds documentation for all start_transaction parameters. It also removes the StartTransactionKwargs typeddict, instead placing the custom_sampling_context parameter directly on the method and deleting the client parameter, which appears not to be used.

docs: Document top-level start_transaction function (#2924)
75213cb 
Although the @scopemethod decorator should take care of adding this documentation comment to start_transaction, the decorator does not appear to work when hovering over the sentry_sdk.start_transaction function in VSCode. Adding the doc comment explicitly allows the documentation to be shown when hovering in VSCode, but it does not change the output of our API docs, which still uses the @scopemethod output.

This is the final PR in this repository that addresses getsentry/sentry-docs#5082; the last step to closing that issue will be to add a link in the docs to start_transaction in our API docs. We can only do this once 2.0 is released.

Version 2.0 of the Sentry SDK will contain better documentation for start_transaction in the form of type hints and documentation of all parameters in the API docs. The last step to resolving this issue will be to add a link to the API docs to direct users to discover the available parameters there. We can only do this once 2.0 is released
