ape-keyring: Store secrets for ape using Keyring.

Quickstart

Avoid hard-coding secrets in your projects using ape-keyring. ape-keyring is built on top of keyring and is an account plugin and secret manager. By default, keyring uses your OS's secure storage and prompts for authorization upon request. Thus, keyring is useful for securely managing local developer environments.

This guide demonstrates how to use ape-keyring as an account plugin and secret manager.

Quick Usage

Accounts

Use ape-keyring as an account plugin. You can add existing accounts to keyring to use in your scripts, console, or tests:

ape keyring import keyring_dev_0

It then securely prompts you for your private key.

NOTE: You can only add existing accounts to keyring and generate new ones.

You can delete accounts by doing:

ape keyring accounts delete <alias>

This only deletes the account from keyring and not the blockchain.

To remove all your keyring accounts, run the command:

ape keyring accounts delete-all

Finally, list your accounts by doing:

ape keyring accounts list

Secrets

Use ape-keyring as a secrets managers, such as Infura project IDs, Etherscan API keys, your mother's maiden name. To add secrets to keyring, do:

ape keyring set WEB3_API_KEY

and then when it prompts you, input the value to your secret.

Optionally, scope your secrets to the active project.

ape keyring set DEPLOYMENT_SECRET --scope project 

To enable your secrets to become environment variables at runtime, use the ape-config.yaml option set_env_vars:

keyring:
  set_env_vars: true
