If you’re working with Go Lang, the official Infisical Go SDK package is the easiest way to fetch and work with secrets for your application.

Basic Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	infisical "github.com/infisical/go-sdk"
)

func main() {

	client, err := infisical.NewInfisicalClient(infisical.Config{
		SiteUrl: "https://app.infisical.com", // Optional, default is https://app.infisical.com
	})

	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Error: %v", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	_, err = client.Auth().UniversalAuthLogin("YOUR_CLIENT_ID", "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET")

	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Authentication failed: %v", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	apiKeySecret, err := client.Secrets().Retrieve(infisical.RetrieveSecretOptions{
		SecretKey:   "API_KEY",
		Environment: "dev",
		ProjectID:   "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
		SecretPath:  "/",
	})

	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Error: %v", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	fmt.Printf("API Key Secret: %v", apiKeySecret)

}

This example demonstrates how to use the Infisical Go SDK in a simple Go application. The application retrieves a secret named API_KEY from the dev environment of the YOUR_PROJECT_ID project.

We do not recommend hardcoding your Machine Identity Tokens. Setting it as an environment variable would be best.

Installation

$ go get github.com/infisical/go-sdk

Configuration

Import the SDK and create a client instance.

client, err := infisical.NewInfisicalClient(infisical.Config{
		SiteUrl: "https://app.infisical.com", // Optional, default is https://api.infisical.com
	})

if err != nil {
  fmt.Printf("Error: %v", err)
  os.Exit(1)
}

ClientSettings methods

Authentication

The SDK supports a variety of authentication methods. The most common authentication method is Universal Auth, which uses a client ID and client secret to authenticate.

Universal Auth

Using environment variables

Call .Auth().UniversalAuthLogin() with empty arguments to use the following environment variables:

  • INFISICAL_UNIVERSAL_AUTH_CLIENT_ID - Your machine identity client ID.
  • INFISICAL_UNIVERSAL_AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET - Your machine identity client secret.

Using the SDK directly

_, err := client.Auth().UniversalAuthLogin("CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET")

if err != nil {
  fmt.Println(err)
  os.Exit(1)
}

GCP ID Token Auth

Please note that this authentication method will only work if you’re running your application on Google Cloud Platform. Please read more about this authentication method.

Using environment variables

Call .Auth().GcpIdTokenAuthLogin() with empty arguments to use the following environment variables:

  • INFISICAL_GCP_AUTH_IDENTITY_ID - Your Infisical Machine Identity ID.

Using the SDK directly

_, err := client.Auth().GcpIdTokenAuthLogin("YOUR_MACHINE_IDENTITY_ID")

if err != nil {
  fmt.Println(err)
  os.Exit(1)
}

GCP IAM Auth

Using environment variables

Call .Auth().GcpIamAuthLogin() with empty arguments to use the following environment variables:

  • INFISICAL_GCP_IAM_AUTH_IDENTITY_ID - Your Infisical Machine Identity ID.
  • INFISICAL_GCP_IAM_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_FILE_PATH - The path to your GCP service account key file.

Using the SDK directly

_, err = client.Auth().GcpIamAuthLogin("MACHINE_IDENTITY_ID", "SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_FILE_PATH")

if err != nil {
  fmt.Println(err)
  os.Exit(1)
}

AWS IAM Auth

Please note that this authentication method will only work if you’re running your application on AWS. Please read more about this authentication method.

Using environment variables

Call .Auth().AwsIamAuthLogin() with empty arguments to use the following environment variables:

  • INFISICAL_AWS_IAM_AUTH_IDENTITY_ID - Your Infisical Machine Identity ID.

Using the SDK directly

_, err = client.Auth().AwsIamAuthLogin("MACHINE_IDENTITY_ID")

if err != nil {
  fmt.Println(err)
  os.Exit(1)
}

Azure Auth

Please note that this authentication method will only work if you’re running your application on Azure. Please read more about this authentication method.

Using environment variables

Call .Auth().AzureAuthLogin() with empty arguments to use the following environment variables:

  • INFISICAL_AZURE_AUTH_IDENTITY_ID - Your Infisical Machine Identity ID.

Using the SDK directly

_, err = client.Auth().AzureAuthLogin("MACHINE_IDENTITY_ID")

if err != nil {
  fmt.Println(err)
  os.Exit(1)
}

Kubernetes Auth

Please note that this authentication method will only work if you’re running your application on Kubernetes. Please read more about this authentication method.

Using environment variables

Call .Auth().KubernetesAuthLogin() with empty arguments to use the following environment variables:

  • INFISICAL_KUBERNETES_IDENTITY_ID - Your Infisical Machine Identity ID.
  • INFISICAL_KUBERNETES_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN_PATH_ENV_NAME - The environment variable name that contains the path to the service account token. This is optional and will default to /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token.

Using the SDK directly

// Service account token path will default to /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token if empty value is passed
_, err = client.Auth().KubernetesAuthLogin("MACHINE_IDENTITY_ID", "SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN_PATH")

if err != nil {
  fmt.Println(err)
  os.Exit(1)
}

Working with Secrets

client.Secrets().List(options)

secrets, err := client.Secrets().List(infisical.ListSecretsOptions{
  ProjectID:          "PROJECT_ID",
  Environment:        "dev",
  SecretPath:         "/foo/bar",
  AttachToProcessEnv: false,
})

Retrieve all secrets within the Infisical project and environment that client is connected to

Parameters

Parameters

  SecretKey:   "API_KEY",
  ProjectID:   "PROJECT_ID",
  Environment: "dev",
})

Retrieve a secret from Infisical.

By default, Secrets().Retrieve() fetches and returns a shared secret.
