batch-get-secret-value

Description

Retrieves the contents of the encrypted fields SecretString or SecretBinary for up to 20 secrets. To retrieve a single secret, call GetSecretValue .

To choose which secrets to retrieve, you can specify a list of secrets by name or ARN, or you can use filters. If Secrets Manager encounters errors such as AccessDeniedException while attempting to retrieve any of the secrets, you can see the errors in Errors in the response.

Secrets Manager generates CloudTrail GetSecretValue log entries for each secret you request when you call this action. Do not include sensitive information in request parameters because it might be logged. For more information, see Logging Secrets Manager events with CloudTrail .

Required permissions: secretsmanager:BatchGetSecretValue , and you must have secretsmanager:GetSecretValue for each secret. If you use filters, you must also have secretsmanager:ListSecrets . If the secrets are encrypted using customer-managed keys instead of the Amazon Web Services managed key aws/secretsmanager , then you also need kms:Decrypt permissions for the keys. For more information, see IAM policy actions for Secrets Manager and Authentication and access control in Secrets Manager .

Options

--secret-id-list (list)

The ARN or names of the secrets to retrieve. You must include Filters or SecretIdList , but not both.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--filters (list)

The filters to choose which secrets to retrieve. You must include Filters or SecretIdList , but not both.

(structure)

Allows you to add filters when you use the search function in Secrets Manager. For more information, see Find secrets in Secrets Manager .

Key -> (string)

The following are keys you can use:

  • description : Prefix match, not case-sensitive.
  • name : Prefix match, case-sensitive.
  • tag-key : Prefix match, case-sensitive.
  • tag-value : Prefix match, case-sensitive.
  • primary-region : Prefix match, case-sensitive.
  • owning-service : Prefix match, case-sensitive.
  • all : Breaks the filter value string into words and then searches all attributes for matches. Not case-sensitive.

Values -> (list)

The keyword to filter for.

You can prefix your search value with an exclamation mark (! ) in order to perform negation filters.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "description"|"name"|"tag-key"|"tag-value"|"primary-region"|"owning-service"|"all",
    "Values": ["string", ...]
  }
  ...
]

--max-results (integer)

The number of results to include in the response.

If there are more results available, in the response, Secrets Manager includes NextToken . To get the next results, call BatchGetSecretValue again with the value from NextToken . To use this parameter, you must also use the Filters parameter.

--next-token (string)

A token that indicates where the output should continue from, if a previous call did not show all results. To get the next results, call BatchGetSecretValue again with this value.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: To retrieve the secret value for a group of secrets listed by name

The following batch-get-secret-value example gets the secret value secrets for three secrets.

aws secretsmanager batch-get-secret-value \
