npm install keyvault-api-sdk
System Requirements:
- Node.js 16.0.0 or higher
- TypeScript 4.5+ (for TypeScript projects)
- Modern ES2020+ environment
π Quick Start
Option 1: Using CLI Configuration (Recommended)
If you've authenticated with the KeyVault CLI, the SDK automatically uses your configuration:
import { KeyVaultSDK, createKeyVaultFromConfig } from 'keyvault-api-sdk';
const sdk = await createKeyVaultFromConfig();
const sdk = new KeyVaultSDK();
await sdk.configfile();
const stripeKey = await sdk.service('stripe').key('production');
Option 2: Direct API Token (Legacy/CI)
import { KeyVaultSDK } from 'keyvault-api-sdk';
const sdk = new KeyVaultSDK({
apiUrl: 'https://1pass.vercel.app',
apiToken: 'your-jwt-token-here'
});
Option 3: Environment Variables
import { createKeyVaultFromEnv } from 'keyvault-api-sdk';
const sdk = createKeyVaultFromEnv();
π Core API Key Operations
Basic Key Management
const key = await sdk.getKey('key-id-123');
const openaiKey = await sdk.getKeyByService('openai');
const stripeKey = await sdk.getKeyByService('stripe', 'production');
await sdk.createKey({
name: 'OpenAI Production Key',
service: 'openai',
value: 'sk-1234567890abcdef...',
metadata: {
environment: 'production',
department: 'ai-research',
owner: 'john.doe@company.com'
}
});
await sdk.updateKey('key-id-123', {
name: 'Updated Key Name',
metadata: { lastRotated: new Date().toISOString() }
});
await sdk.deleteKey('key-id-123');
const keys = await sdk.listKeys();
Fluent Interface API
const stripeKey = await sdk.service('stripe').key('production');
const githubToken = await sdk.service('github').key('personal-access');
const databaseUrl = await sdk.service('database').key('connection-string');
const openaiKey = await sdk.service('openai').key('gpt-4');
const anthropicKey = await sdk.service('anthropic').key('claude');
π₯ Team Collaboration
Team Context Management
const productionTeam = sdk.team('production-environment');
const stripeKey = await productionTeam.service('stripe').key('live');
const databaseUrl = await productionTeam.service('database').key('primary');
const stagingKey = await sdk.team('staging').service('api').key('test-token');
const devEndpoint = await sdk.team('development').endpoint('backend-api');
const prodStripe = await sdk.team('production').service('stripe').key('live');
const prodDatabase = await sdk.team('production').service('database').key('primary');
Multi-Environment Workflows
const environments = ['development', 'staging', 'production'];
for (const env of environments) {
const dbUrl = await sdk.team(env).service('database').key('connection');
const apiKey = await sdk.team(env).service('external-api').key('token');
console.log(`${env.toUpperCase()}: DB=${dbUrl}, API=${apiKey}`);
}
const cdnUrl = await sdk.team('frontend').endpoint('cdn-primary');
const apiGateway = await sdk.team('backend').endpoint('api-gateway');
π Endpoint Management
const productionApi = await sdk.endpoint('production-api');
const stagingDatabase = await sdk.endpoint('staging-database');
const frontendCdn = await sdk.team('frontend-team').endpoint('cdn-url');
const backendApi = await sdk.team('backend-team').endpoint('api-server');
const endpoints = {
api: await sdk.team('production').endpoint('api-gateway'),
cdn: await sdk.team('production').endpoint('cdn-primary'),
database: await sdk.team('production').endpoint('database-cluster')
};

π‘οΈ Security Architecture
Zero-Trust Encryption Model
KeyVault SDK implements a zero-trust security architecture where API keys are encrypted client-side before transmission:
await sdk.configfile();
await sdk.createKey({
name: 'Stripe Production',
service: 'stripe',
value: 'sk_live_very_sensitive_key_here'
});
const key = await sdk.service('stripe').key('production');
Encryption Details
- Algorithm: AES-256-GCM with authenticated encryption
- Key Storage: Local encryption keys stored in
~/.keyvault/config.json
- Encryption Keys: User-specific and team-specific encryption keys
- Team Isolation: Separate encryption keys for team-shared API keys
- Transport: TLS 1.3 for all network communications
Security Best Practices
const sdk = await createKeyVaultFromConfig();
const sdk = new KeyVaultSDK({
apiToken: 'hardcoded-token'
});
const prodVault = sdk.team('production');
const devVault = sdk.team('development');
try {
const key = await sdk.service('stripe').key('production');
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to retrieve key:', error.message);
}
await sdk.updateKey(keyId, {
value: newKeyValue,
metadata: {
rotatedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
rotatedBy: process.env.USER
}
});
Threat Model Protection
Man-in-the-Middle | TLS 1.3 + Certificate Pinning | Automatic |
Server Compromise | Client-side encryption | User private keys |
Credential Theft | Encrypted storage | AES-256-GCM |
Team Data Leakage | Team isolation | Separate encryption keys |
Privilege Escalation | Role-based access | Server-side RBAC |
Audit Trail | Comprehensive logging | Metadata tracking |
π§ Advanced Configuration
Environment Variables
export KEYVAULT_API_URL="https://your-instance.com/api"
export KEYVAULT_API_TOKEN="your-jwt-token"
export KEYVAULT_CONFIG_DIR="/custom/config/path"
export KEYVAULT_DEBUG="true"
export KEYVAULT_DEFAULT_TEAM="production-team"
export KEYVAULT_ENCRYPTION_LEVEL="high"
export KEYVAULT_CACHE_TTL="300"
Configuration File Structure
{
"apiUrl": "https://1pass.vercel.app",
"token": "jwt-authentication-token",
"email": "user@company.com",
"activeTeamId": "current-team-uuid",
"personalKeys": {
"address": "0x...",
"publicKey": "user-encryption-public-key",
"privateKey": "user-encryption-private-key",
"createdAt": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z"
},
"teamKeys": {
"team-name": {
"address": "0x...",
"publicKey": "team-encryption-public-key",
"privateKey": "team-encryption-private-key",
"createdAt": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z"
}
}
}
Important: This configuration file contains encryption keys and authentication tokens, not your actual API keys. Your API keys (Stripe, OpenAI, etc.) are stored encrypted on KeyVault servers and are decrypted locally using these encryption keys.
Custom Initialization
import { KeyVaultSDK, KeyVaultConfig } from 'keyvault-api-sdk';
const config: KeyVaultConfig = {
apiUrl: 'https://your-instance.com/api',
apiToken: process.env.KEYVAULT_TOKEN,
encryptionLevel: 'high',
cacheOptions: {
ttl: 300,
maxSize: 1000
},
retryOptions: {
maxRetries: 3,
retryDelay: 1000
},
timeout: 30000
};
const sdk = new KeyVaultSDK(config);
π Performance & Optimization
Caching Strategy
const key1 = await sdk.service('stripe').key('live');
const key2 = await sdk.service('stripe').key('live');
sdk.clearCache();
sdk.invalidateKey('service-name', 'key-name');
const sdk = new KeyVaultSDK({
cacheOptions: {
ttl: 600,
maxSize: 500,
enabled: true
}
});
Cache Operations
sdk.clearCache();
const cacheSize = sdk.getCacheSize();
console.log(`Currently caching ${cacheSize} keys`);
const key1 = await sdk.getKey('key-id', true);
const key2 = await sdk.getKey('key-id', false);
Performance Monitoring
const cacheSize = sdk.getCacheSize();
console.log(`Cache currently holds ${cacheSize} keys`);
sdk.clearCache();
const frequentKey = await sdk.getKeyByService('stripe', 'live', true);
const oneTimeKey = await sdk.getKeyByService('temp-service', 'key', false);
π§ͺ Testing Support
Basic Testing
import { createKeyVaultFromEnv } from 'keyvault-api-sdk';
const sdk = createKeyVaultFromEnv();
test('key retrieval', async () => {
const key = await sdk.getKeyByService('test-service', 'test-key');
expect(key).toBeTruthy();
});
test('team operations', async () => {
const teamKey = await sdk.team('test-team').service('stripe').key('test');
expect(teamKey).toMatch(/^sk_test_/);
});
π Migration Guide
From v1.0.x to v1.1.0
const sdk = new KeyVaultSDK({ apiToken: 'token' });
const key = await sdk.getKeyByService('stripe');
const sdk = await createKeyVaultFromConfig();
const key = await sdk.service('stripe').key('production');
Breaking Changes (None)
v1.1.0 is fully backward compatible with v1.0.x. All existing code will continue to work without modifications.

π Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Authentication Problems
try {
const sdk = await createKeyVaultFromConfig();
} catch (error) {
if (error.message.includes('Invalid API token')) {
console.log('Solution: Run "keyvault login" to re-authenticate');
}
}
Configuration Issues
import { existsSync } from 'fs';
import { homedir } from 'os';
import { join } from 'path';
const configPath = join(homedir(), '.keyvault', 'config.json');
if (!existsSync(configPath)) {
console.log('Solution: Run "keyvault login" to create config file');
}
Team Access Problems
try {
const key = await sdk.team('nonexistent-team').service('stripe').key('live');
} catch (error) {
if (error.status === 404) {
console.log('Solution: Check team name or request access');
}
}
Performance Issues
const sdk = new KeyVaultSDK({
cacheOptions: {
ttl: 600,
maxSize: 1000,
enabled: true
}
});
const keys = await sdk.batchGetKeys([
{ service: 'stripe', key: 'live' },
{ service: 'openai', key: 'production' }
]);
Debug Mode
process.env.KEYVAULT_DEBUG = 'true';
const sdk = await createKeyVaultFromConfig();
const sdk = new KeyVaultSDK({ debug: true });
Error Handling Best Practices
try {
const key = await sdk.service('stripe').key('production');
} catch (error) {
if (error.message.includes('API token not available')) {
console.error('Authentication failed:', error.message);
console.log('Run configfile() or provide API token');
} else if (error.message.includes('Failed to decrypt')) {
console.error('Decryption failed:', error.message);
console.log('Key may have been encrypted with different private key');
} else if (error.message.includes('Config not loaded')) {
console.error('Configuration error:', error.message);
console.log('Call configfile() first');
} else {
console.error('Unexpected error:', error.message);
}
}
