Once a secret exists in Vault, any application can fetch it at runtime - it doesn’t have to be OpenLIT itself. Retrieval requires an OpenLIT API key, and you can filter what comes back by an exact Key or by one or more Tags.

Create an API key

Create an API Key

To authenticate your requests, you need an API key:
  • Go to OpenLIT.
  • Navigate to the API Keys page.
  • Click on Create API Key.
  • Enter a name for your API key.
  • Save the API key displayed. Store it securely - it’s used for authentication in the SDK or API calls below.

​
Filtering

You can narrow down which secrets you get back:
  • By Key - pass the exact Key of a single secret.
  • By Tags - pass one or more tags. OpenLIT returns any secret matching at least one of the given tags.
Leave both out to retrieve all secrets you have access to.
