Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Get Secret Value using the AWS CLI


This assumes you have already configured the aws command line tool. If not, check out my article on Getting Started with the AWS CLI.

The aws secretsmanager list-secrets command can be used the list the secrets you have created.

]$ aws secretsmanager list-secrets
{
    "SecretList": [
        {
            "ARN": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:123456789012:secret:my-secret-tD1U2U",
            "Name": "my-secret",
            "Description": "my-secret",
            "LastChangedDate": "2023-08-23T17:23:54.741000-05:00",
            "LastAccessedDate": "2023-08-22T19:00:00-05:00",
            "SecretVersionsToStages": {
                "0a8aa38f-b95e-42ab-acc9-7745aa710f23": [
                    "AWSCURRENT"
                ]
            },
            "CreatedDate": "2023-08-23T17:23:54.435000-05:00"
        }
    ]
}

 

Likewise, the aws secretsmanager get-secret-value command can be used to include the value of the secret.

~]$ aws secretsmanager list-secrets
{
    "ARN": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:123456789012:secret:my-secret-tD1U2U",
    "Name": "my-secret",
    "VersionId": "0a8aa38f-b95e-42ab-acc9-7745aa710f23",
    "SecretString": "{\"username\":\"john.doe\",\"password\":\"itsasecret\"}",
    "VersionStages": [
        "AWSCURRENT"
    ],
    "CreatedDate": "2023-08-23T22:23:54.737000+00:00"
}
