 ### Optional
 
-- `base_url` (String) The target Sentry Base API URL in the format `https://[hostname]/api/`. The default value is `https://sentry.io/api/`. The value must be provided when working with Sentry On-Premise. The value can be sourced from the `SENTRY_BASE_URL` environment variable.
+- `base_url` (String) The target Sentry Base API URL follows the format `https://[hostname]/api/`. The default value is `https://sentry.io/api/`, which is an alias for `https://us.sentry.io/api/` (US data storage location). To change the data storage location to the EU, set the value to `https://de.sentry.io/api/`. This value is required for non-US storage locations or Sentry On-Premise deployments. The value can be sourced from the `SENTRY_BASE_URL` environment variable.
 - `token` (String, Sensitive) The authentication token used to connect to Sentry. The value can be sourced from the `SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable.
