Secrets Manager Go SDK

The Go language wrapper for interacting with the Bitwarden Secrets Manager. The SDK, like the Secrets Manager CLI built on-top of it, can be used to execute the following operations:

Authenticate using an access token.
Perform commands for secret and project including:
- list, create, update and delete.

noot

This SDK is a beta release. Therefore, some functionality may be missing.

Requirements

Setting up a Secrets Manager account prior to using the Go SDK is recommended. This includes:

Setting up machine accounts.
Setting up access tokens.

Dependencies

Go installed
C environment to run CGO
On Linux, installing musl-gcc is recommended.

Initialize Secrets Manager client

To initialize the client, first import the SDK and create a new BitwardenClient instance:

Bash
import "github.com/bitwarden/sdk-go"

apiURL := “https://api.bitwarden.com”
identityURL := “https://identity.bitwarden.com”

bitwardenClient, _ := sdk.NewBitwardenClient(&apiURL, &identityURL)

Login to the Secrets Manager client using an access token. Define some statePath and pass it to use state, or pass nil instead to not use state.

Bash
statePath := os.Getenv("STATE_PATH") // full path to desired state file

err := bitwardenClient.AccessTokenLogin(accessToken, &statePath)

Secrets Manager operations

Once the Bitwarden client has been created and authorized, Secrets Manager commands can be passed into the client.

Projects

The project command is used to access, manipulate, and create projects. The scope of access assigned to your machine account will determine what actions can be completed with the project command.

create project

Bash
project, err := bitwardenClient.Projects.Create("organization_id", "project_name")

list projects

Bash
projects, err := bitwardenClient.Projects.List("organization_id")

update project

Bash
project, err := bitwardenClient.Projects.Update("project_id", "organization_id", "new_project_name")

delete project

Bash
project, err := bitwardenClient.Projects.Delete([]string{"project_id_1", "project_id_2"})

Secrets

The secret command is used to access, manipulate and create secrets. As with all commands, secrets and projects outside your access token's scope of access cannot be read or written-to.

create secret

Bash
secret, err := bitwardenClient.Secrets.Create("key", "value", "note", "organization_id", []string{"project_id"})

list secrets

Bash
secrets, err := bitwardenClient.Secrets.List("organization_id")

get secret

Bash
secret, err := bitwardenClient.Secrets().Get("secret_id")

get multiple secrets

Bash
secrets, err := bitwardenClient.Secrets().GetByIDS([]string{"secret_id_1", "secret_id_2"})

update secret

Bash
secret, err := bitwardenClient.Secrets.Update("secret_id", "new_key", "new_value", "new_note", "organization_id", []string{"project_id"})

delete secrets

Bash
secret, err := bitwardenClient.Secrets.Delete([]string{"secret_id_1", "secret_id_2"})

sync secrets

Bash
secretsSync, err := bitwardenClient.Secrets().Sync("organization_id", nil)

lastSyncedDate := time.Now()

secretsSync, err = bitwardenClient.Secrets().Sync("organization_id", lastSyncedDate)

Generate

generate a password

Generate a password which can be used as a secret value

Bash
request := sdk.PasswordGeneratorRequest{
		AvoidAmbiguous: true,
		Length:         64,
		Lowercase:      true,
		MinLowercase:   new(int64),
		MinNumber:      new(int64),
		MinSpecial:     new(int64),
		MinUppercase:   new(int64),
		Numbers:        true,
		Special:        true,
		Uppercase:      true,

Close client

Bash
defer bitwardenClient.Close()
