aws secretsmanager get-secret-value
Retrieves the contents of the encrypted fields SecretString or SecretBinary from the specified version of a secret, whichever contains content. Minimum permissions To run this command, you must have the following permissions: secretsmanager:GetSecretValue kms:Decrypt - required only if you use a customer-managed AWS KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account's default AWS managed CMK for Secrets Manager. Related operations To create a new version of the secret with different encrypted information, use PutSecretValue. To retrieve the non-encrypted details for the secret, use DescribeSecret
Options
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
--secret-id <string> | Specifies the secret containing the version that you want to retrieve. You can specify either the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or the friendly name of the secret. If you specify an ARN, we generally recommend that you specify a complete ARN. You can specify a partial ARN too—for example, if you don’t include the final hyphen and six random characters that Secrets Manager adds at the end of the ARN when you created the secret. A partial ARN match can work as long as it uniquely matches only one secret. However, if your secret has a name that ends in a hyphen followed by six characters (before Secrets Manager adds the hyphen and six characters to the ARN) and you try to use that as a partial ARN, then those characters cause Secrets Manager to assume that you’re specifying a complete ARN. This confusion can cause unexpected results. To avoid this situation, we recommend that you don’t create secret names ending with a hyphen followed by six characters. If you specify an incomplete ARN without the random suffix, and instead provide the 'friendly name', you must not include the random suffix. If you do include the random suffix added by Secrets Manager, you receive either a ResourceNotFoundException or an AccessDeniedException error, depending on your permissions |
--version-id <string> | Specifies the unique identifier of the version of the secret that you want to retrieve. If you specify both this parameter and VersionStage, the two parameters must refer to the same secret version. If you don't specify either a VersionStage or VersionId then the default is to perform the operation on the version with the VersionStage value of AWSCURRENT. This value is typically a UUID-type value with 32 hexadecimal digits |
--version-stage <string> | Specifies the secret version that you want to retrieve by the staging label attached to the version. Staging labels are used to keep track of different versions during the rotation process. If you specify both this parameter and VersionId, the two parameters must refer to the same secret version . If you don't specify either a VersionStage or VersionId, then the default is to perform the operation on the version with the VersionStage value of AWSCURRENT |
--cli-input-json <string> | Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally |
--generate-cli-skeleton <string> | Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value ``input``, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for ``--cli-input-json``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command |
