 To complete your configuration, add [options](/platforms/javascript/configuration/) to your two `Sentry.init()` calls (in `sentry.client.config.js` and `sentry.server.config.js`, respectively). In those two files you can also set context data - data about the [user](/platforms/javascript/enriching-events/identify-user/), for example, or [tags](/platforms/javascript/enriching-events/tags/), or even [arbitrary data](/platforms/javascript/enriching-events/context/) - which will be added to every event sent to Sentry.

+Once you're set up, the SDK will automatically capture unhandled errors and promise rejections in your frontend. You can also [manually capture errors](/platforms/javascript/guides/nextjs/usage).
+
+To capture server/API route errors, you need to wrap your handlers with a Sentry function:
+
+```javascript
+// Next.js API route support: https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction
+import { withSentry } from '@sentry/nextjs';
+
+const handler = async (req, res) => {
+  res.status(200).json({ name: 'John Doe' })
+}
+
+export default withSentry(handler);
+```
