Vault is designed to securely store and access sensitive information, such as API keys (e.g., OPENAI_API_TOKEN), eliminating the need to directly embed them in your code or environment variables. This centralized approach ensures that all developers can securely share and use the same API key without the necessity of distributing individual keys.

​
Key Features

  • Secrets Management: Seamlessly create, edit, and monitor the secrets associated with your applications.
  • Secure Access: Retrieve secrets based on keys or tags, and safely integrate them into your Node.js or Python environments.

Create an API Key

To authenticate your requests, you need an API key. Here’s how you can create one:

  • Go to the OpenLIT.
  • Navigate to the API Keys page.
  • Click on Create API Key.
  • Enter a name for your API key.
  • Save the API key displayed. Ensure you store it securely as it will be used for authentication in the SDK.

Get secret(s) using the SDK

Here’s how you can fetch and set environment secret(s) in Python:

import openlit

response = openlit.get_secrets(
  url="http://127.0.0.1:3000", 
  api_key="_OPENLIT_API_KEY",  
  should_set_env=True
)

print(response)
Output
{
  err: null,
  res: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: 'ANTHROPIC_API_VALUE', OPENAI_API_KEY: 'OPENAI_API_VALUE' }
}
