Is there an API to programmatically retrieve secrets or is it CLI only?
On a previous project I used the HVAC python library to get secrets from Vault and configure a Django project. (thus not using env vars at all)
It would be nice to be able to do the same with Infisical.
- vmatsiiako 4y agoThis is something that we are actively thinking about actually! It's currently CLI only. API's definitely quite a lot of work, but it's probably worth it. Could you please create an issue for it here: https://github.com/Infisical/infisical/issues https://github.com/Infisical/infisical/issues This way, you can stay updated about when it's ready. Thank you!
- linuxdude314 4y agoDoes that imply that your CLI is directly connecting to MongoDB without some sort of backend service running?
- vmatsiiako 4y agoNo, our CLI is connecting to our backend service which then connects to our database. The backend is not ready to be used by the public as it's not super user-friendly and not well-documented; however, this is a great idea and would increase the use case for Infisical

- tony-infisical 4y agoHello! There is a backend API (that the web UI and CLI connect to) but it's not yet publicly documented. We've wanted to do that for a while now but have just been swamped with requests for features honestly — It's just a matter of time :) Would love to keep you updated with the progress of that over at our Slack community!
- mariopt 4y agoLove this project but, please, give us a way to use it without the CLI. Not really keen on having the CLI on my package.json
- tony-infisical 4y agoDefinitely and will keep y'all posted on this!
