 Availability of HTTP request monitoring depends on the SDK your application uses. In most cases, Sentry's SDKs automatically enable HTTP request tracking. You can check your SDK's <PlatformLink to="/tracing/instrumentation/automatic-instrumentation">automatic instrumentation documentation</PlatformLink> to see if it includes tracking HTTP requests.
 
-If the SDK you're using doesn't automatically instrument HTTP requests, you can instrument your application by following the <PlatformLink to="/tracing/instrumentation/custom-instrumentation/">custom instrumentation</PlatformLink> instructions. Because all the concepts are the same, if your platform doesn't have dedicated custom instrumentation instructions, you can try adapting the code from another platform.
+If the SDK you're using doesn't automatically instrument HTTP requests, you can set up custom instrumentation. Dedicated platform documentation is available for these platforms:
+
+- [Python SDK](/platforms/python/tracing/instrumentation/custom-instrumentation/requests-module/)
+- [JavaScript SDK](/platforms/javascript/guides/node/tracing/instrumentation/custom-instrumentation/requests-module/)
+
+If your platform doesn't have dedicated custom instrumentation instructions, you can try adapting the code from one of the supported platforms. In addition, you can also reference the [Requests Modules SDK development guide](https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/performance/modules/requests/), which lists required span properties and their expected format.
