AWS SDK for JavaScript Secrets Manager Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native
The @aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager package is a client library for interacting with AWS Secrets Manager service. It allows developers to manage secrets needed in their applications without hardcoding sensitive information. The package provides functionalities such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting secrets, as well as retrieving the current value of a secret.
Create a Secret
This code sample demonstrates how to create a new secret in AWS Secrets Manager.
const { SecretsManagerClient, CreateSecretCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager');
const client = new SecretsManagerClient({ region: 'your-region' });
const command = new CreateSecretCommand({
Name: 'MyTestSecret',
SecretString: 'MySecretValue'
});
const run = async () => {
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
};
run();Retrieve a Secret Value
This code sample shows how to retrieve the current value of a secret stored in AWS Secrets Manager.
const { SecretsManagerClient, GetSecretValueCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager');
const client = new SecretsManagerClient({ region: 'your-region' });
const command = new GetSecretValueCommand({
SecretId: 'MyTestSecret'
});
const run = async () => {
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
console.log(data.SecretString);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
};
run();Update a Secret
This code sample illustrates how to update the value of an existing secret in AWS Secrets Manager.
const { SecretsManagerClient, UpdateSecretCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager');
const client = new SecretsManagerClient({ region: 'your-region' });
const command = new UpdateSecretCommand({
SecretId: 'MyTestSecret',
SecretString: 'NewSecretValue'
});
const run = async () => {
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
};
run();node-vault is a client library for HashiCorp Vault, a tool for managing secrets. While @aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager is specifically designed for AWS Secrets Manager, node-vault is used for interacting with Vault by HashiCorp. Both provide similar functionalities in terms of secrets management but are intended for different secret storage services.
azure-keyvault-secrets is a client library for managing secrets in Azure Key Vault. Similar to @aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager, it allows for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting secrets. The main difference lies in the cloud provider, with azure-keyvault-secrets being specific to Azure's ecosystem.

Amazon Web Services 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.
For a list of endpoints, see Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager endpoints.
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.
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.
To install this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager using your favorite package manager:
npm install @aws-sdk/client-secrets-manageryarn add @aws-sdk/client-secrets-managerpnpm add @aws-sdk/client-secrets-managerThe AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.
To send a request, you only need to import the SecretsManagerClient and
the commands you need, for example ListSecretsCommand:
// ES5 example
const { SecretsManagerClient, ListSecretsCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager");
// ES6+ example
import { SecretsManagerClient, ListSecretsCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager";
To send a request, you:
send operation on client with command object as input.destroy() to close open connections.// a client can be shared by different commands.
const client = new SecretsManagerClient({ region: "REGION" });
const params = {
/** input parameters */
};
const command = new ListSecretsCommand(params);
We recommend using await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
} finally {
// finally.
}
Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.
You can also use Promise chaining to execute send operation.
client.send(command).then(
(data) => {
// process data.
},
(error) => {
// error handling.
}
);
Promises can also be called using .catch() and .finally() as follows:
client
.send(command)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
})
.finally(() => {
// finally.
});
We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell, but they are supported by the send operation.
// callbacks.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});
The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style. However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript
import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager";
const client = new AWS.SecretsManager({ region: "REGION" });
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.listSecrets(params);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
}
// Promises.
client
.listSecrets(params)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
});
// callbacks.
client.listSecrets(params, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});
When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
/**
* The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
* You can access them by specifying exception names:
* if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
* const value = error.specialKeyInException;
* }
*/
}
