class SecretsManager.Client

A low-level client representing AWS Secrets Manager

Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager provides a service to enable you to store, manage, and retrieve, secrets.

This guide provides descriptions of the Secrets Manager API. For more information about using this service, see the Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager User Guide .

API Version

This version of the Secrets Manager API Reference documents the Secrets Manager API version 2017-10-17.

Note

As an alternative to using the API, you can use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs, which consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms such as Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, and Android. The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager. For example, the SDKs provide cryptographically signing requests, managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For more information about the Amazon Web Services SDKs, including downloading and installing them, see Tools for Amazon Web Services .

We recommend you use the Amazon Web Services SDKs to make programmatic API calls to Secrets Manager. However, you also can use the Secrets Manager HTTP Query API to make direct calls to the Secrets Manager web service. To learn more about the Secrets Manager HTTP Query API, see Making Query Requests in the Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager User Guide .

Secrets Manager API supports GET and POST requests for all actions, and doesn't require you to use GET for some actions and POST for others. However, GET requests are subject to the limitation size of a URL. Therefore, for operations that require larger sizes, use a POST request.

Support and Feedback for Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager

We welcome your feedback. Send your comments to awssecretsmanager-feedback@amazon.com , or post your feedback and questions in the Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager Discussion Forum . For more information about the Amazon Web Services Discussion Forums, see Forums Help .

How examples are presented

The JSON that Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager expects as your request parameters and the service returns as a response to HTTP query requests contain single, long strings without line breaks or white space formatting. The JSON shown in the examples displays the code formatted with both line breaks and white space to improve readability. When example input parameters can also cause long strings extending beyond the screen, you can insert line breaks to enhance readability. You should always submit the input as a single JSON text string.

Logging API Requests

Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager supports Amazon Web Services CloudTrail, a service that records Amazon Web Services API calls for your Amazon Web Services account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By using information that's collected by Amazon Web Services CloudTrail, you can determine the requests successfully made to Secrets Manager, who made the request, when it was made, and so on. For more about Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager and support for Amazon Web Services CloudTrail, see Logging Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager Events with Amazon Web Services CloudTrail in the Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager User Guide . To learn more about CloudTrail, including enabling it and find your log files, see the Amazon Web Services CloudTrail User Guide .

import boto3

client = boto3.client('secretsmanager')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
cancel_rotate_secret(**kwargs)

Turns off automatic rotation, and if a rotation is currently in progress, cancels the rotation.

To turn on automatic rotation again, call RotateSecret .

Note

If you cancel a rotation in progress, it can leave the VersionStage labels in an unexpected state. Depending on the step of the rotation in progress, you might need to remove the staging label AWSPENDING from the partially created version, specified by the VersionId response value. We recommend you also evaluate the partially rotated new version to see if it should be deleted. You can delete a version by removing all staging labels from it.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.cancel_rotate_secret(
    SecretId='string'
)
Parameters
SecretId (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The ARN or name of the secret.

For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

Return type
dict
Returns
Response Syntax
{
    'ARN': 'string',
    'Name': 'string',
    'VersionId': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --
    • ARN (string) --

      The ARN of the secret.

    • Name (string) --

      The name of the secret.

    • VersionId (string) --

      The unique identifier of the version of the secret created during the rotation. This version might not be complete, and should be evaluated for possible deletion. We recommend that you remove the VersionStage value AWSPENDING from this version so that Secrets Manager can delete it. Failing to clean up a cancelled rotation can block you from starting future rotations.

Exceptions

  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidParameterException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InternalServiceError
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidRequestException

Examples

The following example shows how to cancel rotation for a secret. The operation sets the RotationEnabled field to false and cancels all scheduled rotations. To resume scheduled rotations, you must re-enable rotation by calling the rotate-secret operation.

response = client.cancel_rotate_secret(
    SecretId='MyTestDatabaseSecret',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ARN': 'arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:MyTestDatabaseSecret-a1b2c3',
    'Name': 'Name',
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
create_secret(**kwargs)

Creates a new secret. A secret is a set of credentials, such as a user name and password, that you store in an encrypted form in Secrets Manager. The secret also includes the connection information to access a database or other service, which Secrets Manager doesn't encrypt. A secret in Secrets Manager consists of both the protected secret data and the important information needed to manage the secret.

For information about creating a secret in the console, see Create a secret .

To create a secret, you can provide the secret value to be encrypted in either the SecretString parameter or the SecretBinary parameter, but not both. If you include SecretString or SecretBinary then Secrets Manager creates an initial secret version and automatically attaches the staging label AWSCURRENT to it.

If you don't specify an KMS encryption key, Secrets Manager uses the Amazon Web Services managed key aws/secretsmanager . If this key doesn't already exist in your account, then Secrets Manager creates it for you automatically. All users and roles in the Amazon Web Services account automatically have access to use aws/secretsmanager . Creating aws/secretsmanager can result in a one-time significant delay in returning the result.

If the secret is in a different Amazon Web Services account from the credentials calling the API, then you can't use aws/secretsmanager to encrypt the secret, and you must create and use a customer managed KMS key.

Request Syntax

response = client.create_secret(
    Name='string',
    ClientRequestToken='string',
    Description='string',
    KmsKeyId='string',
    SecretBinary=b'bytes',
    SecretString='string',
    Tags=[
        {
            'Key': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ],
    AddReplicaRegions=[
        {
            'Region': 'string',
            'KmsKeyId': 'string'
        },
    ],
    ForceOverwriteReplicaSecret=True|False
)
Parameters
  • Name (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the new secret.

    The secret name can contain ASCII letters, numbers, and the following characters: /_+=.@-

    Do not end your secret name with a hyphen followed by six characters. If you do so, you risk confusion and unexpected results when searching for a secret by partial ARN. Secrets Manager automatically adds a hyphen and six random characters after the secret name at the end of the ARN.

  • ClientRequestToken (string) --

    If you include SecretString or SecretBinary , then Secrets Manager creates an initial version for the secret, and this parameter specifies the unique identifier for the new version.

    Note

    If you use the Amazon Web Services CLI or one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs to call this operation, then you can leave this parameter empty. The CLI or SDK generates a random UUID for you and includes it as the value for this parameter in the request. If you don't use the SDK and instead generate a raw HTTP request to the Secrets Manager service endpoint, then you must generate a ClientRequestToken yourself for the new version and include the value in the request.

    This value helps ensure idempotency. Secrets Manager uses this value to prevent the accidental creation of duplicate versions if there are failures and retries during a rotation. We recommend that you generate a UUID-type value to ensure uniqueness of your versions within the specified secret.

    • If the ClientRequestToken value isn't already associated with a version of the secret then a new version of the secret is created.
    • If a version with this value already exists and the version SecretString and SecretBinary values are the same as those in the request, then the request is ignored.
    • If a version with this value already exists and that version's SecretString and SecretBinary values are different from those in the request, then the request fails because you cannot modify an existing version. Instead, use PutSecretValue to create a new version.

    This value becomes the VersionId of the new version.

    This field is autopopulated if not provided.

  • Description (string) -- The description of the secret.
  • KmsKeyId (string) --

    The ARN, key ID, or alias of the KMS key that Secrets Manager uses to encrypt the secret value in the secret.

    To use a KMS key in a different account, use the key ARN or the alias ARN.

    If you don't specify this value, then Secrets Manager uses the key aws/secretsmanager . If that key doesn't yet exist, then Secrets Manager creates it for you automatically the first time it encrypts the secret value.

    If the secret is in a different Amazon Web Services account from the credentials calling the API, then you can't use aws/secretsmanager to encrypt the secret, and you must create and use a customer managed KMS key.

  • SecretBinary (bytes) --

    The binary data to encrypt and store in the new version of the secret. We recommend that you store your binary data in a file and then pass the contents of the file as a parameter.

    Either SecretString or SecretBinary must have a value, but not both.

    This parameter is not available in the Secrets Manager console.

  • SecretString (string) --

    The text data to encrypt and store in this new version of the secret. We recommend you use a JSON structure of key/value pairs for your secret value.

    Either SecretString or SecretBinary must have a value, but not both.

    If you create a secret by using the Secrets Manager console then Secrets Manager puts the protected secret text in only the SecretString parameter. The Secrets Manager console stores the information as a JSON structure of key/value pairs that a Lambda rotation function can parse.

  • Tags (list) --

    A list of tags to attach to the secret. Each tag is a key and value pair of strings in a JSON text string, for example:

    [{"Key":"CostCenter","Value":"12345"},{"Key":"environment","Value":"production"}]

    Secrets Manager tag key names are case sensitive. A tag with the key "ABC" is a different tag from one with key "abc".

    If you check tags in permissions policies as part of your security strategy, then adding or removing a tag can change permissions. If the completion of this operation would result in you losing your permissions for this secret, then Secrets Manager blocks the operation and returns an Access Denied error. For more information, see Control access to secrets using tags and Limit access to identities with tags that match secrets' tags .

    For information about how to format a JSON parameter for the various command line tool environments, see Using JSON for Parameters . If your command-line tool or SDK requires quotation marks around the parameter, you should use single quotes to avoid confusion with the double quotes required in the JSON text.

    The following restrictions apply to tags:

    • Maximum number of tags per secret: 50
    • Maximum key length: 127 Unicode characters in UTF-8
    • Maximum value length: 255 Unicode characters in UTF-8
    • Tag keys and values are case sensitive.
    • Do not use the aws: prefix in your tag names or values because Amazon Web Services reserves it for Amazon Web Services use. You can't edit or delete tag names or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per secret limit.
    • If you use your tagging schema across multiple services and resources, other services might have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters: letters, spaces, and numbers representable in UTF-8, plus the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @.
    • (dict) --

      A structure that contains information about a tag.

      • Key (string) --

        The key identifier, or name, of the tag.

      • Value (string) --

        The string value associated with the key of the tag.

  • AddReplicaRegions (list) --

    A list of Regions and KMS keys to replicate secrets.

    • (dict) --

      A custom type that specifies a Region and the KmsKeyId for a replica secret.

      • Region (string) --

        A Region code. For a list of Region codes, see Name and code of Regions .

      • KmsKeyId (string) --

        The ARN, key ID, or alias of the KMS key to encrypt the secret. If you don't include this field, Secrets Manager uses aws/secretsmanager .

  • ForceOverwriteReplicaSecret (boolean) -- Specifies whether to overwrite a secret with the same name in the destination Region.
Return type

      The unique identifier associated with the version of the new secret.

    • ReplicationStatus (list) --

      A list of the replicas of this secret and their status:

      • Failed , which indicates that the replica was not created.
      • InProgress , which indicates that Secrets Manager is in the process of creating the replica.
      • InSync , which indicates that the replica was created.
      • (dict) --

        A replication object consisting of a RegionReplicationStatus object and includes a Region, KMSKeyId, status, and status message.

        • Region (string) --

          The Region where replication occurs.

        • KmsKeyId (string) --

          Can be an ARN , Key ID , or Alias .

    Description='My test database secret created with the CLI',
    Name='MyTestDatabaseSecret',
    SecretString='{"username":"david","password":"BnQw!XDWgaEeT9XGTT29"}',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
delete_resource_policy(**kwargs)

Deletes the resource-based permission policy attached to the secret. To attach a policy to a secret, use PutResourcePolicy .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.delete_resource_policy(
    SecretId='string'
)
Parameters
SecretId (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The ARN or name of the secret to delete the attached resource-based policy for.

For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

Return type
dict
Returns
Response Syntax
{
    'ARN': 'string',
    'Name': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --
    • ARN (string) --

      The ARN of the secret that the resource-based policy was deleted for.

    • Name (string) --

      The name of the secret that the resource-based policy was deleted for.

Exceptions

  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InternalServiceError
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidRequestException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidParameterException

Examples

The following example shows how to delete the resource-based policy that is attached to a secret.

response = client.delete_resource_policy(
    SecretId='MyTestDatabaseSecret',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ARN': 'arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:MyTestDatabaseMasterSecret-a1b2c3',
    'Name': 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
delete_secret(**kwargs)

Deletes a secret and all of its versions. You can specify a recovery window during which you can restore the secret. The minimum recovery window is 7 days. The default recovery window is 30 days. Secrets Manager attaches a DeletionDate stamp to the secret that specifies the end of the recovery window. At the end of the recovery window, Secrets Manager deletes the secret permanently.

For information about deleting a secret in the console, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/manage_delete-secret.html .

Secrets Manager performs the permanent secret deletion at the end of the waiting period as a background task with low priority. There is no guarantee of a specific time after the recovery window for the permanent delete to occur.

At any time before recovery window ends, you can use RestoreSecret to remove the DeletionDate and cancel the deletion of the secret.

In a secret scheduled for deletion, you cannot access the encrypted secret value. To access that information, first cancel the deletion with RestoreSecret and then retrieve the information.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.delete_secret(
    SecretId='string',
    RecoveryWindowInDays=123,
    ForceDeleteWithoutRecovery=True|False
)
Parameters
  • SecretId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The ARN or name of the secret to delete.

    For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

  • RecoveryWindowInDays (integer) -- The number of days from 7 to 30 that Secrets Manager waits before permanently deleting the secret. You can't use both this parameter and ForceDeleteWithoutRecovery in the same call. If you don't use either, then Secrets Manager defaults to a 30 day recovery window.
  • ForceDeleteWithoutRecovery (boolean) --

    Specifies whether to delete the secret without any recovery window. You can't use both this parameter and RecoveryWindowInDays in the same call. If you don't use either, then Secrets Manager defaults to a 30 day recovery window.

    Secrets Manager performs the actual deletion with an asynchronous background process, so there might be a short delay before the secret is permanently deleted. If you delete a secret and then immediately create a secret with the same name, use appropriate back off and retry logic.

    Warning

    Use this parameter with caution. This parameter causes the operation to skip the normal recovery window before the permanent deletion that Secrets Manager would normally impose with the RecoveryWindowInDays parameter. If you delete a secret with the ForceDeleteWithouRecovery parameter, then you have no opportunity to recover the secret. You lose the secret permanently.

Return type

dict

Returns

Response Syntax

      The ARN of the secret.

    • Name (string) --

      The name of the secret.

    • DeletionDate (datetime) --

      The date and time after which this secret Secrets Manager can permanently delete this secret, and it can no longer be restored. This value is the date and time of the delete request plus the number of days in RecoveryWindowInDays .

Exceptions

  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidParameterException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidRequestException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InternalServiceError

Examples

The following example shows how to delete a secret. The secret stays in your account in a deprecated and inaccessible state until the recovery window ends. After the date and time in the DeletionDate response field has passed, you can no longer recover this secret with restore-secret.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --
    • ARN (string) --

      The ARN of the secret.

    • Name (string) --

      The name of the secret.

    • Description (string) --

      The description of the secret.

    • KmsKeyId (string) --

      The ARN of the KMS key that Secrets Manager uses to encrypt the secret value. If the secret is encrypted with the Amazon Web Services managed key aws/secretsmanager , this field is omitted.

    • RotationEnabled (boolean) --

      Specifies whether automatic rotation is turned on for this secret.

      To turn on rotation, use RotateSecret . To turn off rotation, use CancelRotateSecret .

    • RotationLambdaARN (string) --

      The ARN of the Lambda function that Secrets Manager invokes to rotate the secret.

    • RotationRules (dict) --

      The rotation schedule and Lambda function for this secret. If the secret previously had rotation turned on, but it is now turned off, this field shows the previous rotation schedule and rotation function. If the secret never had rotation turned on, this field is omitted.

      • AutomaticallyAfterDays (integer) --

        Specifies the number of days between automatic scheduled rotations of the secret.

        Secrets Manager schedules the next rotation when the previous one is complete. Secrets Manager schedules the date by adding the rotation interval (number of days) to the actual date of the last rotation. The service chooses the hour within that 24-hour date window randomly. The minute is also chosen somewhat randomly, but weighted towards the top of the hour and influenced by a variety of factors that help distribute load.

    • LastRotatedDate (datetime) --

      The last date and time that Secrets Manager rotated the secret. If the secret isn't configured for rotation, Secrets Manager returns null.

    • LastChangedDate (datetime) --

      The last date and time that this secret was modified in any way.

    • LastAccessedDate (datetime) --

      The last date that the secret value was retrieved. This value does not include the time. This field is omitted if the secret has never been retrieved.

    • DeletedDate (datetime) --

      The date the secret is scheduled for deletion. If it is not scheduled for deletion, this field is omitted. When you delete a secret, Secrets Manager requires a recovery window of at least 7 days before deleting the secret. Some time after the deleted date, Secrets Manager deletes the secret, including all of its versions.

      If a secret is scheduled for deletion, then its details, including the encrypted secret value, is not accessible. To cancel a scheduled deletion and restore access to the secret, use RestoreSecret .

    • Tags (list) --

      The list of tags attached to the secret. To add tags to a secret, use TagResource . To remove tags, use UntagResource .

      • (dict) --

        A structure that contains information about a tag.

        • Key (string) --

          The key identifier, or name, of the tag.

        • Value (string) --

          The string value associated with the key of the tag.

    • VersionIdsToStages (dict) --

      A list of the versions of the secret that have staging labels attached. Versions that don't have staging labels are considered deprecated and Secrets Manager can delete them.

      Secrets Manager uses staging labels to indicate the status of a secret version during rotation. The three staging labels for rotation are:

      • AWSCURRENT , which indicates the current version of the secret.
      • AWSPENDING , which indicates the version of the secret that contains new secret information that will become the next current version when rotation finishes. During rotation, Secrets Manager creates an AWSPENDING version ID before creating the new secret version. To check if a secret version exists, call GetSecretValue .
      • AWSPREVIOUS , which indicates the previous current version of the secret. You can use this as the last known good version.

      For more information about rotation and staging labels, see How rotation works .

get_secret_value(**kwargs)

Retrieves the contents of the encrypted fields SecretString or SecretBinary from the specified version of a secret, whichever contains content.

For information about retrieving the secret value in the console, see Retrieve secrets .

To run this command, you must have secretsmanager:GetSecretValue permissions. If the secret is encrypted using a customer-managed key instead of the Amazon Web Services managed key aws/secretsmanager , then you also need kms:Decrypt permissions for that key.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.get_secret_value(
    SecretId='string',
    VersionId='string',
    VersionStage='string'
)
Parameters
  • SecretId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The ARN or name of the secret to retrieve.

    For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

  • VersionId (string) --

    The unique identifier of the version of the secret to retrieve. If you include 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 Secrets Manager returns the AWSCURRENT version.

    This value is typically a UUID-type value with 32 hexadecimal digits.

  • VersionStage (string) --

    The staging label of the version of the secret to retrieve.

    Secrets Manager uses staging labels to keep track of different versions during the rotation process. If you include 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 , Secrets Manager returns the AWSCURRENT version.

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret.

        • Name (string) --

          The friendly name of the secret. You can use forward slashes in the name to represent a path hierarchy. For example, /prod/databases/dbserver1 could represent the secret for a server named dbserver1 in the folder databases in the folder prod .

        • Description (string) --

          The user-provided description of the secret.

        • KmsKeyId (string) --

          The ARN of the KMS key that Secrets Manager uses to encrypt the secret value. If the secret is encrypted with the Amazon Web Services managed key aws/secretsmanager , this field is omitted.

              The string value associated with the key of the tag.

        • SecretVersionsToStages (dict) --

          A list of all of the currently assigned SecretVersionStage staging labels and the SecretVersionId attached to each one. Staging labels are used to keep track of the different versions during the rotation process.

          Note

          A version that does not have any SecretVersionStage is considered deprecated and subject to deletion. Such versions are not included in this list.

    BlockPublicPolicy=True|False
)
Parameters
  • SecretId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The ARN or name of the secret to attach the resource-based policy.

    For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

  • ResourcePolicy (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A JSON-formatted string for an Amazon Web Services resource-based policy. For example policies, see Permissions policy examples .

  • BlockPublicPolicy (boolean) -- Specifies whether to block resource-based policies that allow broad access to the secret. By default, Secrets Manager blocks policies that allow broad access, for example those that use a wildcard for the principal.
Return type

dict

Returns

Response Syntax

{
    'ARN': 'string',
    'Name': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • ARN (string) --

      The ARN of the secret.

    • Name (string) --

      The name of the secret.

Exceptions

  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.MalformedPolicyDocumentException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidParameterException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InternalServiceError
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidRequestException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.PublicPolicyException

Examples

The following example shows how to add a resource-based policy to a secret.

response = client.put_resource_policy(
    ResourcePolicy='{\n"Version":"2012-10-17",\n"Statement":[{\n"Effect":"Allow",\n"Principal":{\n"AWS":"arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root"\n},\n"Action":"secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",\n"Resource":"*"\n}]\n}',
    SecretId='MyTestDatabaseSecret',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ARN': 'arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:MyTestDatabaseSecret-a1b2c3',
    'Name': 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
put_secret_value(**kwargs)

Creates a new version with a new encrypted secret value and attaches it to the secret. The version can contain a new SecretString value or a new SecretBinary value.

We recommend you avoid calling PutSecretValue at a sustained rate of more than once every 10 minutes. When you update the secret value, Secrets Manager creates a new version of the secret. Secrets Manager removes outdated versions when there are more than 100, but it does not remove versions created less than 24 hours ago. If you call PutSecretValue more than once every 10 minutes, you create more versions than Secrets Manager removes, and you will reach the quota for secret versions.

You can specify the staging labels to attach to the new version in VersionStages . If you don't include VersionStages , then Secrets Manager automatically moves the staging label AWSCURRENT to this version. If this operation creates the first version for the secret, then Secrets Manager automatically attaches the staging label AWSCURRENT to it .

If this operation moves the staging label AWSCURRENT from another version to this version, then Secrets Manager also automatically moves the staging label AWSPREVIOUS to the version that AWSCURRENT was removed from.

This operation is idempotent. If a version with a VersionId with the same value as the ClientRequestToken parameter already exists, and you specify the same secret data, the operation succeeds but does nothing. However, if the secret data is different, then the operation fails because you can't modify an existing version; you can only create new ones.

Request Syntax

response = client.put_secret_value(
    SecretId='string',
    ClientRequestToken='string',
    SecretBinary=b'bytes',
    SecretString='string',
    VersionStages=[
        'string',
    ]
)
Parameters
  • SecretId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The ARN or name of the secret to add a new version to.

    For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

    If the secret doesn't already exist, use CreateSecret instead.

  • ClientRequestToken (string) --

    A unique identifier for the new version of the secret.

    Note

    If you use the Amazon Web Services CLI or one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs to call this operation, then you can leave this parameter empty because they generate a random UUID for you. If you don't use the SDK and instead generate a raw HTTP request to the Secrets Manager service endpoint, then you must generate a ClientRequestToken yourself for new versions and include that value in the request.

    This value helps ensure idempotency. Secrets Manager uses this value to prevent the accidental creation of duplicate versions if there are failures and retries during the Lambda rotation function processing. We recommend that you generate a UUID-type value to ensure uniqueness within the specified secret.

    • If the ClientRequestToken value isn't already associated with a version of the secret then a new version of the secret is created.
    • If a version with this value already exists and that version's SecretString or SecretBinary values are the same as those in the request then the request is ignored. The operation is idempotent.
    • If a version with this value already exists and the version of the SecretString and SecretBinary values are different from those in the request, then the request fails because you can't modify a secret version. You can only create new versions to store new secret values.

    This value becomes the VersionId of the new version.

    This field is autopopulated if not provided.

  • SecretBinary (bytes) --

    The binary data to encrypt and store in the new version of the secret. To use this parameter in the command-line tools, we recommend that you store your binary data in a file and then pass the contents of the file as a parameter.

    You must include SecretBinary or SecretString , but not both.

    You can't access this value from the Secrets Manager console.

  • SecretString (string) --

    The text to encrypt and store in the new version of the secret.

    You must include SecretBinary or SecretString , but not both.

    We recommend you create the secret string as JSON key/value pairs, as shown in the example.

  • VersionStages (list) --

    A list of staging labels to attach to this version of the secret. Secrets Manager uses staging labels to track versions of a secret through the rotation process.

    If you specify a staging label that's already associated with a different version of the same secret, then Secrets Manager removes the label from the other version and attaches it to this version. If you specify AWSCURRENT , and it is already attached to another version, then Secrets Manager also moves the staging label AWSPREVIOUS to the version that AWSCURRENT was removed from.

    If you don't include VersionStages , then Secrets Manager automatically moves the staging label AWSCURRENT to this version.

)
Parameters
SecretId (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The ARN or name of the secret to restore.

For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

Return type
dict
Returns
Response Syntax
{
    'ARN': 'string',

  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidRequestException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InternalServiceError

Examples

The following example shows how to restore a secret that you previously scheduled for deletion.

response = client.restore_secret(
    SecretId='MyTestDatabaseSecret',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ARN': 'arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:MyTestDatabaseSecret-a1b2c3',
    'Name': 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
rotate_secret(**kwargs)

Configures and starts the asynchronous process of rotating the secret.

If you include the configuration parameters, the operation sets the values for the secret and then immediately starts a rotation. If you don't include the configuration parameters, the operation starts a rotation with the values already stored in the secret. For more information about rotation, see Rotate secrets .

To configure rotation, you include the ARN of an Amazon Web Services Lambda function and the schedule for the rotation. The Lambda rotation function creates a new version of the secret and creates or updates the credentials on the database or service to match. After testing the new credentials, the function marks the new secret version with the staging label AWSCURRENT . Then anyone who retrieves the secret gets the new version. For more information, see How rotation works .

When rotation is successful, the AWSPENDING staging label might be attached to the same version as the AWSCURRENT version, or it might not be attached to any version.

If the AWSPENDING staging label is present but not attached to the same version as AWSCURRENT , then any later invocation of RotateSecret assumes that a previous rotation request is still in progress and returns an error.

To run this command, you must have secretsmanager:RotateSecret permissions and lambda:InvokeFunction permissions on the function specified in the secret's metadata.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.rotate_secret(
    SecretId='string',
    ClientRequestToken='string',
    RotationLambdaARN='string',
    RotationRules={
        'AutomaticallyAfterDays': 123
    }
)
Parameters
  • SecretId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The ARN or name of the secret to rotate.

    For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

  • ClientRequestToken (string) --

    A unique identifier for the new version of the secret that helps ensure idempotency. Secrets Manager uses this value to prevent the accidental creation of duplicate versions if there are failures and retries during rotation. This value becomes the VersionId of the new version.

    If you use the Amazon Web Services CLI or one of the Amazon Web Services SDK to call this operation, then you can leave this parameter empty. The CLI or SDK generates a random UUID for you and includes that in the request for this parameter. If you don't use the SDK and instead generate a raw HTTP request to the Secrets Manager service endpoint, then you must generate a ClientRequestToken yourself for new versions and include that value in the request.

    You only need to specify this value if you implement your own retry logic and you want to ensure that Secrets Manager doesn't attempt to create a secret version twice. We recommend that you generate a UUID-type value to ensure uniqueness within the specified secret.

    This field is autopopulated if not provided.

  • RotationLambdaARN (string) -- The ARN of the Lambda rotation function that can rotate the secret.
  • RotationRules (dict) --

    A structure that defines the rotation configuration for this secret.

    • AutomaticallyAfterDays (integer) --

      Specifies the number of days between automatic scheduled rotations of the secret.

      Secrets Manager schedules the next rotation when the previous one is complete. Secrets Manager schedules the date by adding the rotation interval (number of days) to the actual date of the last rotation. The service chooses the hour within that 24-hour date window randomly. The minute is also chosen somewhat randomly, but weighted towards the top of the hour and influenced by a variety of factors that help distribute load.

  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidRequestException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidParameterException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InternalServiceError
tag_resource(**kwargs)

Attaches tags to a secret. Tags consist of a key name and a value. Tags are part of the secret's metadata. They are not associated with specific versions of the secret. This operation appends tags to the existing list of tags.

The following restrictions apply to tags:

  • Maximum number of tags per secret: 50
  • Maximum key length: 127 Unicode characters in UTF-8
  • Maximum value length: 255 Unicode characters in UTF-8
  • Tag keys and values are case sensitive.
  • Do not use the aws: prefix in your tag names or values because Amazon Web Services reserves it for Amazon Web Services use. You can't edit or delete tag names or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per secret limit.
  • If you use your tagging schema across multiple services and resources, other services might have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters: letters, spaces, and numbers representable in UTF-8, plus the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @.

Warning

If you use tags as part of your security strategy, then adding or removing a tag can change permissions. If successfully completing this operation would result in you losing your permissions for this secret, then the operation is blocked and returns an Access Denied error.

        The string value associated with the key of the tag.

Returns

None

Exceptions

  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidRequestException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidParameterException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InternalServiceError

Examples

The following example shows how to attach two tags each with a Key and Value to a secret. There is no output from this API. To see the result, use the DescribeSecret operation.

response = client.tag_resource(
    SecretId='MyExampleSecret',
    Tags=[
        {
            'Key': 'FirstTag',
            'Value': 'SomeValue',
        },
        {
            'Key': 'SecondTag',
            'Value': 'AnotherValue',
        },
    ],
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
untag_resource(**kwargs)

Removes specific tags from a secret.

This operation is idempotent. If a requested tag is not attached to the secret, no error is returned and the secret metadata is unchanged.

Warning

If you use tags as part of your security strategy, then removing a tag can change permissions. If successfully completing this operation would result in you losing your permissions for this secret, then the operation is blocked and returns an Access Denied error.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.untag_resource(
    SecretId='string',
    TagKeys=[
        'string',
    ]
)
Parameters
  • SecretId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The ARN or name of the secret.

    For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

  • TagKeys (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A list of tag key names to remove from the secret. You don't specify the value. Both the key and its associated value are removed.

    This parameter requires a JSON text string argument.

    For storing multiple values, we recommend that you use a JSON text string argument and specify key/value pairs. For more information, see Specifying parameter values for the Amazon Web Services CLI in the Amazon Web Services CLI User Guide.

    • (string) --
Returns

None

Exceptions

  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidRequestException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InvalidParameterException
  • SecretsManager.Client.exceptions.InternalServiceError

Examples

The following example shows how to remove two tags from a secret's metadata. For each, both the tag and the associated value are removed. There is no output from this API. To see the result, use the DescribeSecret operation.

response = client.untag_resource(
    SecretId='MyTestDatabaseSecret',
    TagKeys=[
        'FirstTag',
        'SecondTag',
    ],
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
update_secret(**kwargs)

Modifies the details of a secret, including metadata and the secret value. To change the secret value, you can also use PutSecretValue .

To change the rotation configuration of a secret, use RotateSecret instead.

We recommend you avoid calling UpdateSecret at a sustained rate of more than once every 10 minutes. When you call UpdateSecret to update the secret value, Secrets Manager creates a new version of the secret. Secrets Manager removes outdated versions when there are more than 100, but it does not remove versions created less than 24 hours ago. If you update the secret value more than once every 10 minutes, you create more versions than Secrets Manager removes, and you will reach the quota for secret versions.

If you include SecretString or SecretBinary to create a new secret version, Secrets Manager automatically attaches the staging label AWSCURRENT to the new version.

If you call this operation with a VersionId that matches an existing version's ClientRequestToken , the operation results in an error. You can't modify an existing version, you can only create a new version. To remove a version, remove all staging labels from it. See UpdateSecretVersionStage .

If you don't specify an KMS encryption key, Secrets Manager uses the Amazon Web Services managed key aws/secretsmanager . If this key doesn't already exist in your account, then Secrets Manager creates it for you automatically. All users and roles in the Amazon Web Services account automatically have access to use aws/secretsmanager . Creating aws/secretsmanager can result in a one-time significant delay in returning the result.

If the secret is in a different Amazon Web Services account from the credentials calling the API, then you can't use aws/secretsmanager to encrypt the secret, and you must create and use a customer managed key.

To run this command, you must have secretsmanager:UpdateSecret permissions. If you use a customer managed key, you must also have kms:GenerateDataKey and kms:Decrypt permissions .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.update_secret(
    SecretId='string',
    ClientRequestToken='string',
    Description='string',
    KmsKeyId='string',
    SecretBinary=b'bytes',
    SecretString='string'
)
Parameters
  • SecretId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The ARN or name of the secret.

    For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

  • ClientRequestToken (string) --

    If you include SecretString or SecretBinary , then Secrets Manager creates a new version for the secret, and this parameter specifies the unique identifier for the new version.

    Note

    If you use the Amazon Web Services CLI or one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs to call this operation, then you can leave this parameter empty. The CLI or SDK generates a random UUID for you and includes it as the value for this parameter in the request. If you don't use the SDK and instead generate a raw HTTP request to the Secrets Manager service endpoint, then you must generate a ClientRequestToken yourself for the new version and include the value in the request.

    This value becomes the VersionId of the new version.

    This field is autopopulated if not provided.

  • Description (string) -- The description of the secret.
  • KmsKeyId (string) --

    The ARN, key ID, or alias of the KMS key that Secrets Manager uses to encrypt new secret versions as well as any existing versions the staging labels AWSCURRENT , AWSPENDING , or AWSPREVIOUS . For more information about versions and staging labels, see Concepts: Version .

    Warning

    You can only use the Amazon Web Services managed key aws/secretsmanager if you call this operation using credentials from the same Amazon Web Services account that owns the secret. If the secret is in a different account, then you must use a customer managed key and provide the ARN of that KMS key in this field. The user making the call must have permissions to both the secret and the KMS key in their respective accounts.

  • SecretBinary (bytes) --

    The binary data to encrypt and store in the new version of the secret. We recommend that you store your binary data in a file and then pass the contents of the file as a parameter.

    Either SecretBinary or SecretString must have a value, but not both.

    You can't access this parameter in the Secrets Manager console.

  • SecretString (string) --

    The text data to encrypt and store in the new version of the secret. We recommend you use a JSON structure of key/value pairs for your secret value.

    Either SecretBinary or SecretString must have a value, but not both.

    'Name': 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}

This example shows how to update the KMS customer managed key (CMK) used to encrypt the secret value. The KMS CMK must be in the same region as the secret.

response = client.update_secret(
    KmsKeyId='arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:123456789012:key/EXAMPLE2-90ab-cdef-fedc-ba987EXAMPLE',
    SecretId='MyTestDatabaseSecret',

    'Name': 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}

The following example shows how to create a new version of the secret by updating the SecretString field. Alternatively, you can use the put-secret-value operation.

response = client.update_secret(
    SecretId='MyTestDatabaseSecret',
    SecretString='{JSON STRING WITH CREDENTIALS}',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{

    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
update_secret_version_stage(**kwargs)

Modifies the staging labels attached to a version of a secret. Secrets Manager uses staging labels to track a version as it progresses through the secret rotation process. Each staging label can be attached to only one version at a time. To add a staging label to a version when it is already attached to another version, Secrets Manager first removes it from the other version first and then attaches it to this one. For more information about versions and staging labels, see Concepts: Version .

The staging labels that you specify in the VersionStage parameter are added to the existing list of staging labels for the version.

You can move the AWSCURRENT staging label to this version by including it in this call.

Note

Whenever you move AWSCURRENT , Secrets Manager automatically moves the label AWSPREVIOUS to the version that AWSCURRENT was removed from.

If this action results in the last label being removed from a version, then the version is considered to be 'deprecated' and can be deleted by Secrets Manager.

Request Syntax

response = client.update_secret_version_stage(
    SecretId='string',
    VersionStage='string',
    RemoveFromVersionId='string',

Parameters
  • SecretId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The ARN or the name of the secret with the version and staging labelsto modify.

    For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

  • VersionStage (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The staging label to add to this version.

  • RemoveFromVersionId (string) -- The ID of the version that the staging label is to be removed from. If the staging label you are trying to attach to one version is already attached to a different version, then you must include this parameter and specify the version that the label is to be removed from. If the label is attached and you either do not specify this parameter, or the version ID does not match, then the operation fails.
  • MoveToVersionId (string) --

    The ID of the version to add the staging label to. To remove a label from a version, then do not specify this parameter.

    If the staging label is already attached to a different version of the secret, then you must also specify the RemoveFromVersionId parameter.

validate_resource_policy(**kwargs)

Validates that a resource policy does not grant a wide range of principals access to your secret. A resource-based policy is optional for secrets.

The API performs three checks when validating the policy:

  • Sends a call to Zelkova , an automated reasoning engine, to ensure your resource policy does not allow broad access to your secret, for example policies that use a wildcard for the principal.
  • Checks for correct syntax in a policy.
  • Verifies the policy does not lock out a caller.

        • ARN (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret.

        • Name (string) --

          The friendly name of the secret. You can use forward slashes in the name to represent a path hierarchy. For example, /prod/databases/dbserver1 could represent the secret for a server named dbserver1 in the folder databases in the folder prod .

        • Description (string) --

          The user-provided description of the secret.

        • KmsKeyId (string) --

          The ARN of the KMS key that Secrets Manager uses to encrypt the secret value. If the secret is encrypted with the Amazon Web Services managed key aws/secretsmanager , this field is omitted.

          Indicates whether automatic, scheduled rotation is enabled for this secret.

        • RotationLambdaARN (string) --

          The ARN of an Amazon Web Services Lambda function invoked by Secrets Manager to rotate and expire the secret either automatically per the schedule or manually by a call to RotateSecret .

        • RotationRules (dict) --

          A structure that defines the rotation configuration for the secret.

          • AutomaticallyAfterDays (integer) --

            Specifies the number of days between automatic scheduled rotations of the secret.

            Secrets Manager schedules the next rotation when the previous one is complete. Secrets Manager schedules the date by adding the rotation interval (number of days) to the actual date of the last rotation. The service chooses the hour within that 24-hour date window randomly. The minute is also chosen somewhat randomly, but weighted towards the top of the hour and influenced by a variety of factors that help distribute load.

        • LastRotatedDate (datetime) --

          The most recent date and time that the Secrets Manager rotation process was successfully completed. This value is null if the secret hasn't ever rotated.

        • LastChangedDate (datetime) --

          The last date and time that this secret was modified in any way.

        • LastAccessedDate (datetime) --

          The last date that this secret was accessed. This value is truncated to midnight of the date and therefore shows only the date, not the time.

        • DeletedDate (datetime) --

          The date and time the deletion of the secret occurred. Not present on active secrets. The secret can be recovered until the number of days in the recovery window has passed, as specified in the RecoveryWindowInDays parameter of the DeleteSecret operation.

        • Tags (list) --

          The list of user-defined tags associated with the secret. To add tags to a secret, use TagResource . To remove tags, use UntagResource .

          • (dict) --

            A structure that contains information about a tag.

            • Key (string) --

              The key identifier, or name, of the tag.

            • Value (string) --

              The string value associated with the key of the tag.

        • SecretVersionsToStages (dict) --

          A list of all of the currently assigned SecretVersionStage staging labels and the SecretVersionId attached to each one. Staging labels are used to keep track of the different versions during the rotation process.

          Note

          A version that does not have any SecretVersionStage is considered deprecated and subject to deletion. Such versions are not included in this list.

          • (string) --
            • (list) --
              • (string) --
        • OwningService (string) --
