Infisical Ruby SDK
If you’re working with Ruby , the official Infisical Ruby SDK package is the easiest way to fetch and work with secrets for your application.
Basic Usage
This example demonstrates how to use the Infisical Ruby SDK in a simple Ruby 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
Configuration
Import the SDK and create a client instance.
Client parameters
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.universal_auth()
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
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.gcp_id_token_auth()
with empty arguments to use the following environment variables:
INFISICAL_GCP_AUTH_IDENTITY_ID
- Your Infisical Machine Identity ID.
Using the SDK directly
GCP IAM Auth
Using environment variables
Call .auth.gcp_iam_auth()
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
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.aws_iam_auth()
with empty arguments to use the following environment variables:
INFISICAL_AWS_IAM_AUTH_IDENTITY_ID
- Your Infisical Machine Identity ID.
Using the SDK directly
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.azure_auth()
with empty arguments to use the following environment variables:
INFISICAL_AZURE_AUTH_IDENTITY_ID
- Your Infisical Machine Identity ID.
Using the SDK directly
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.kubernetes_auth()
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
Working with Secrets
client.secrets.list(options)
Retrieve all secrets within the Infisical project and environment that client is connected to
Parameters
client.secrets.get(options)
Retrieve a secret from Infisical.
By default, Secrets().Retrieve()
fetches and returns a shared secret.
Parameters
client.secrets.create(options)
Create a new secret in Infisical.
Parameters
client.secrets.update(options)
Update an existing secret in Infisical.
Parameters
client.secrets.delete(options)
Delete a secret in Infisical.
Parameters
