HTTP Response

Response Body

If a secret store has support for multiple keys in a secret, a JSON payload is returned with the key names as fields and their respective values.

In case of a secret store that only has name/value semantics, a JSON payload is returned with the name of the secret as the field and the value of the secret as the value.

Response with multiple keys in a secret (eg. Kubernetes):
curl http://localhost:3500/v1.0/secrets/kubernetes/db-secret
{
  "key1": "value1",
  "key2": "value2"
}
Response with no keys in a secret:
curl http://localhost:3500/v1.0/secrets/vault/db-secret
{
  "db-secret": "value1"
}
