Infisical Go SDK

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.

• Package
• Github Repository

Basic Usage

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "os"
  "context"
  infisical "github.com/infisical/go-sdk"
)

func main() {

	client := infisical.NewInfisicalClient(context.Background(), infisical.Config{
		SiteUrl: "https://app.infisical.com", // Optional, default is https://app.infisical.com
    AutoTokenRefresh: true, // Wether or not to let the SDK handle the access token lifecycle. Defaults to true if not specified.
	})

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

Configuration Options

options · object

Show properties

SiteUrl · string · default: "https://app.infisical.com"

The URL of the Infisical API..

UserAgent · string

Optionally set the user agent that will be used for HTTP requests. (Not recommended)

AutoTokenRefresh · boolean · default: true

Whether or not to let the SDK handle the access token lifecycle. Defaults to true if not specified.

SilentMode · boolean · default: false

Whether or not to suppress logs such as warnings from the token refreshing process. Defaults to false if not specified.

CacheExpiryInSeconds · number · default: 0

Defines how long certain responses should be cached in memory, in seconds. When set to a positive value, responses from specific methods (like secret fetching) will be cached for this duration. Set to 0 to disable caching.

Automatic token refreshing

The Infisical Go SDK supports automatic token refreshing. After using one of the auth methods such as Universal Auth, the SDK will automatically renew and re-authenticate when needed. This behavior is enabled by default, but you can opt-out by setting AutoTokenRefresh to false in the client settings.

  client := infisical.NewInfisicalClient(context.Background(), infisical.Config{
    AutoTokenRefresh: false, // <- Disable automatic token refreshing
  })

When using automatic token refreshing it’s important to understand how your application uses the Infiiscal client. If you are instantiating new instances of the client often, it’s important to cancel the context when the client is no longer needed to avoid the token refreshing process from running indefinitely.

  ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
  defer cancel() // Cancel the context when the client is no longer needed

  client := infisical.NewInfisicalClient(ctx, infisical.Config{
    AutoTokenRefresh: true,
  })

  // Use the client

This is only necessary if you are creating multiple instances of the client, and those instances are deleted or otherwise removed throughout the application lifecycle. If you are only creating one instance of the client, and it will be used throughout the lifetime of your application, you don’t need to worry about this.

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)
}
