AWS Secrets Manager API Reference
AWS 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 AWS Secrets Manager User Guide.
API Version
This version of the Secrets Manager API Reference documents the Secrets Manager API version 2017-10-17.
Secrets Manager. However, you also can use the Secrets Manager HTTP Query API to make direct calls to the Secrets Manager web service. To learn more about the Secrets Manager HTTP Query API, see Making Query Requests in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide.
Secrets Manager API supports GET and POST requests for all actions, and doesn't require you to use GET for some actions and POST for others. However, GET requests are subject to the limitation size of a URL. Therefore, for operations that require larger sizes, use a POST request.
Support and Feedback for AWS Secrets Manager
We welcome your feedback. Send your comments to awssecretsmanager-feedback@amazon.com, or post your feedback and questions in the AWS Secrets Manager Discussion Forum. For more information about the AWS Discussion Forums, see Forums Help.
How examples are presented
The JSON that AWS Secrets Manager expects as your request parameters and the service returns as a response to HTTP query requests contain single, long strings without line breaks or white space formatting. The JSON shown in the examples displays the code formatted with both line breaks and white space to improve readability. When example input parameters can also cause long strings extending beyond the screen, you can insert line breaks to enhance readability. You should always submit the input as a single JSON text string.
Logging API Requests
AWS Secrets Manager supports AWS CloudTrail, a service that records AWS API calls for your AWS account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By using information that's collected by AWS 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 AWS Secrets Manager and support for AWS CloudTrail, see Logging AWS Secrets Manager Events with AWS CloudTrail in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide. To learn more about CloudTrail, including enabling it and find your log files, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide.

Functions
Disables automatic scheduled rotation and cancels the rotation of a secret if currently in progress.
Creates a new secret. A secret in Secrets Manager consists of both the protected secret data and the important information needed to manage the secret.
Deletes the resource-based permission policy attached to the secret.
Deletes an entire secret and all of its versions. You can optionally
include a recovery window during which you can restore the secret. If you
don't specify a recovery window value, the operation defaults to 30 days.
Secrets Manager attaches a DeletionDate
stamp to the secret that
specifies the end of the recovery window. At the end of the recovery
window, Secrets Manager deletes the secret permanently.
Retrieves the details of a secret. It does not include the encrypted fields. Secrets Manager only returns fields populated with a value in the response.
Generates a random password of the specified complexity. This operation is intended for use in the Lambda rotation function. Per best practice, we recommend that you specify the maximum length and include every character type that the system you are generating a password for can support.
Retrieves the JSON text of the resource-based policy document attached to the specified secret. The JSON request string input and response output displays formatted code with white space and line breaks for better readability. Submit your input as a single line JSON string.
Retrieves the contents of the encrypted fields SecretString
or
SecretBinary
from the specified version of a secret, whichever contains
content.
Lists all of the versions attached to the specified secret. The output does
not include the SecretString
or SecretBinary
fields. By default, the
list includes only versions that have at least one staging label in
VersionStage
attached.
Lists all of the secrets that are stored by Secrets Manager in the AWS
account. To list the versions currently stored for a specific secret, use
ListSecretVersionIds
. The encrypted fields SecretString
and
SecretBinary
are not included in the output. To get that information,
call the GetSecretValue
operation.
Attaches the contents of the specified resource-based permission policy to
a secret. A resource-based policy is optional. Alternatively, you can use
IAM identity-based policies that specify the secret's Amazon Resource Name
(ARN) in the policy statement's Resources
element. You can also use a
combination of both identity-based and resource-based policies. The
affected users and roles receive the permissions that are permitted by all
of the relevant policies. For more information, see Using Resource-Based
Policies for AWS Secrets
Manager.
For the complete description of the AWS policy syntax and grammar, see IAM
JSON Policy
Reference
in the IAM User Guide.
Stores a new encrypted secret value in the specified secret. To do this,
the operation creates a new version and attaches it to the secret. The
version can contain a new SecretString
value or a new SecretBinary
value. You can also specify the staging labels that are initially attached
to the new version.
Cancels the scheduled deletion of a secret by removing the DeletedDate
time stamp. This makes the secret accessible to query once again.
Configures and starts the asynchronous process of rotating this secret. If you include the configuration parameters, the operation sets those values for the secret and then immediately starts a rotation. If you do not include the configuration parameters, the operation starts a rotation with the values already stored in the secret. After the rotation completes, the protected service and its clients all use the new version of the secret.
Attaches one or more tags, each consisting of a key name and a value, to
the specified secret. Tags are part of the secret's overall metadata, and
are not associated with any specific version of the secret. This operation
only appends tags to the existing list of tags. To remove tags, you must
use UntagResource
.
Removes one or more tags from the specified secret.
Modifies many of the details of the specified secret. If you include a
ClientRequestToken
and either SecretString
or SecretBinary
then it
also creates a new version attached to the secret.
Modifies the staging labels attached to a version of a secret. Staging labels are used to track a version as it progresses through the secret rotation process. You can attach a staging label to only one version of a secret at a time. If a staging label to be added is already attached to another version, then it is moved--removed from the other version first and then attached to this one. For more information about staging labels, see Staging Labels in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide.
Validates the JSON text of the resource-based policy document attached to the specified secret. The JSON request string input and response output displays formatted code with white space and line breaks for better readability. Submit your input as a single line JSON string. A resource-based policy is optional.

Disables automatic scheduled rotation and cancels the rotation of a secret if currently in progress.
To re-enable scheduled rotation, call RotateSecret
with
AutomaticallyRotateAfterDays
set to a value greater than 0. This
immediately rotates your secret and then enables the automatic schedule.
must be in one of the following states:
- Not attached to any version at all
- Attached to the same version as the staging label `AWSCURRENT`
- secretsmanager:CancelRotateSecret
- To configure rotation for a secret or to manually trigger a rotation, use `RotateSecret`.
- To get the rotation configuration details for a secret, use `DescribeSecret`.
- To list all of the currently available secrets, use `ListSecrets`.
- To list all of the versions currently associated with a secret, use `ListSecretVersionIds`.
Creates a new secret. A secret in Secrets Manager consists of both the protected secret data and the important information needed to manage the secret.
Secrets Manager stores the encrypted secret data in one of a collection of
"versions" associated with the secret. Each version contains a copy of the
encrypted secret data. Each version is associated with one or more "staging
labels" that identify where the version is in the rotation cycle. The
SecretVersionsToStages
field of the secret contains the mapping of
staging labels to the active versions of the secret. Versions without a
staging label are considered deprecated and not included in the list.
You provide the secret data to be encrypted by putting text in either the
SecretString
parameter or binary data in the SecretBinary
parameter,
but not both. If you include SecretString
or SecretBinary
then Secrets
Manager also creates an initial secret version and automatically attaches
the staging label AWSCURRENT
to the new version.
- If you call an operation to encrypt or decrypt the `SecretString` or `SecretBinary` for a secret in the same account as the calling user and that secret doesn't specify a AWS KMS encryption key, Secrets Manager uses the account's default AWS managed customer master key (CMK) with the alias `aws/secretsmanager`. If this key doesn't already exist in your account then Secrets Manager creates it for you automatically. All users and roles in the same AWS account automatically have access to use the default CMK. Note that if an Secrets Manager API call results in AWS creating the account's AWS-managed CMK, it can result in a one-time significant delay in returning the result.
- If the secret resides in a different AWS account from the credentials calling an API that requires encryption or decryption of the secret value then you must create and use a custom AWS KMS CMK because you can't access the default CMK for the account using credentials from a different AWS account. Store the ARN of the CMK in the secret when you create the secret or when you update it by including it in the `KMSKeyId`. If you call an API that must encrypt or decrypt `SecretString` or `SecretBinary` using credentials from a different account then the AWS KMS key policy must grant cross-account access to that other account's user or role for both the kms:GenerateDataKey and kms:Decrypt operations.
- secretsmanager:CreateSecret
- kms:GenerateDataKey - needed only if you use a customer-managed AWS KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account default AWS managed CMK for Secrets Manager.
- kms:Decrypt - needed only if you use a customer-managed AWS KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account default AWS managed CMK for Secrets Manager.
- secretsmanager:TagResource - needed only if you include the `Tags` parameter.
- To delete a secret, use `DeleteSecret`.
- To modify an existing secret, use `UpdateSecret`.
- To create a new version of a secret, use `PutSecretValue`.
- To retrieve the encrypted secure string and secure binary values, use `GetSecretValue`.
- To retrieve all other details for a secret, use `DescribeSecret`. This does not include the encrypted secure string and secure binary values.
- To retrieve the list of secret versions associated with the current secret, use `DescribeSecret` and examine the `SecretVersionsToStages` response value.
Deletes the resource-based permission policy attached to the secret.
Minimum permissions
To run this command, you must have the following permissions:
- secretsmanager:DeleteResourcePolicy
- To attach a resource policy to a secret, use `PutResourcePolicy`.
- To retrieve the current resource-based policy that's attached to a secret, use `GetResourcePolicy`.
- To list all of the currently available secrets, use `ListSecrets`.
Deletes an entire secret and all of its versions. You can optionally
include a recovery window during which you can restore the secret. If you
don't specify a recovery window value, the operation defaults to 30 days.
Secrets Manager attaches a DeletionDate
stamp to the secret that
specifies the end of the recovery window. At the end of the recovery
window, Secrets Manager deletes the secret permanently.
At any time before recovery window ends, you can use RestoreSecret
to
remove the DeletionDate
and cancel the deletion of the secret.
You cannot access the encrypted secret information in any secret that is
scheduled for deletion. If you need to access that information, you must
cancel the deletion with RestoreSecret
and then retrieve the information.
- There is no explicit operation to delete a version of a secret. Instead, remove all staging labels from the `VersionStage` field of a version. That marks the version as deprecated and allows Secrets Manager to delete it as needed. Versions that do not have any staging labels do not show up in `ListSecretVersionIds` unless you specify `IncludeDeprecated`.
- The permanent secret deletion at the end of the waiting period is performed as a background task with low priority. There is no guarantee of a specific time after the recovery window for the actual delete operation to occur.
- secretsmanager:DeleteSecret
- To create a secret, use `CreateSecret`.
- To cancel deletion of a version of a secret before the recovery window has expired, use `RestoreSecret`.
Retrieves the details of a secret. It does not include the encrypted fields. Secrets Manager only returns fields populated with a value in the response.

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:
- secretsmanager:RestoreSecret
- To delete a secret, use `DeleteSecret`.
Configures and starts the asynchronous process of rotating this secret. If you include the configuration parameters, the operation sets those values for the secret and then immediately starts a rotation. If you do not include the configuration parameters, the operation starts a rotation with the values already stored in the secret. After the rotation completes, the protected service and its clients all use the new version of the secret.
This required configuration information includes the ARN of an AWS Lambda
function and the time between scheduled rotations. The Lambda rotation
function creates a new version of the secret and creates or updates the
credentials on the protected service to match. After testing the new
credentials, the function marks the new secret with the staging label
AWSCURRENT
so that your clients all immediately begin to use the new
version. For more information about rotating secrets and how to configure a
Lambda function to rotate the secrets for your protected service, see
Rotating Secrets in AWS Secrets
Manager
in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide.
Secrets Manager schedules the next rotation when the previous one completes. Secrets Manager schedules the date by adding the rotation interval (number of days) to the actual date of the last rotation. The service chooses the hour within that 24-hour date window randomly. The minute is also chosen somewhat randomly, but weighted towards the top of the hour and influenced by a variety of factors that help distribute load.
The rotation function must end with the versions of the secret in one of two states:
- The `AWSPENDING` and `AWSCURRENT` staging labels are attached to the same version of the secret, or
- The `AWSPENDING` staging label is not attached to any version of the secret.
- secretsmanager:RotateSecret
- lambda:InvokeFunction (on the function specified in the secret's metadata)
- To list the secrets in your account, use `ListSecrets`.
- To get the details for a version of a secret, use `DescribeSecret`.
- To create a new version of a secret, use `CreateSecret`.
- To attach staging labels to or remove staging labels from a version of a secret, use `UpdateSecretVersionStage`.
Attaches one or more tags, each consisting of a key name and a value, to
the specified secret. Tags are part of the secret's overall metadata, and
are not associated with any specific version of the secret. This operation
only appends tags to the existing list of tags. To remove tags, you must
use UntagResource
.
The following basic restrictions apply to tags:
- Maximum number of tags per secret—50
- Maximum key length—127 Unicode characters in UTF-8
- Maximum value length—255 Unicode characters in UTF-8
- Tag keys and values are case sensitive.
- Do not use the `aws:` prefix in your tag names or values because AWS reserves it for AWS use. You can't edit or delete tag names or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per secret limit.
- If you use your tagging schema across multiple services and resources, remember other services might have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters: letters, spaces, and numbers representable in UTF-8, plus the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @.
- secretsmanager:TagResource
- To remove one or more tags from the collection attached to a secret, use `UntagResource`.
- To view the list of tags attached to a secret, use `DescribeSecret`.
Removes one or more tags from the specified secret.
This operation is idempotent. If a requested tag is not attached to the secret, no error is returned and the secret metadata is unchanged.
To run this command, you must have the following permissions:
- secretsmanager:UntagResource
- To add one or more tags to the collection attached to a secret, use `TagResource`.
- To view the list of tags attached to a secret, use `DescribeSecret`.
Modifies many of the details of the specified secret. If you include a
ClientRequestToken
and either SecretString
or SecretBinary
then it
also creates a new version attached to the secret.
To modify the rotation configuration of a secret, use RotateSecret
instead.

- To list the versions contained in a secret, use `ListSecretVersionIds`.
Modifies the staging labels attached to a version of a secret. Staging labels are used to track a version as it progresses through the secret rotation process. You can attach a staging label to only one version of a secret at a time. If a staging label to be added is already attached to another version, then it is moved--removed from the other version first and then attached to this one. For more information about staging labels, see Staging Labels in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide.
The staging labels that you specify in the VersionStage
parameter are
added to the existing list of staging labels--they don't replace it.
You can move the AWSCURRENT
staging label to this version by including it

Minimum permissions
To run this command, you must have the following permissions:
- secretsmanager:UpdateSecretVersionStage
- To get the list of staging labels that are currently associated with a version of a secret, use ` `DescribeSecret` ` and examine the `SecretVersionsToStages` response value.
Validates the JSON text of the resource-based policy document attached to the specified secret. The JSON request string input and response output displays formatted code with white space and line breaks for better readability. Submit your input as a single line JSON string. A resource-based policy is optional.
