toolssecret 0.1.1

Tiny helper to fetch Google Secret Manager secrets with optional service account keyfile support.

toolssecret

Tiny helper to fetch secrets from Google Secret Manager, with optional support for:

• ADC (Application Default Credentials) (default)
• A service account JSON keyfile (service_account_file)
• A service account info dict (service_account_info) — useful for CI/CD where you inject JSON via env/secret manager

It’s designed so you can simply:

from toolssecret import get_secret

Install

From pypi

pip install toolssecret

Usage

1) Using ADC (Application Default Credentials)

from toolssecret import get_secret

value = get_secret(secret_name="api_key_test", project_id="myproject")
print(value)

2) Using a service account keyfile

from toolssecret import get_secret

value = get_secret(
    secret_name="api_key_test",
    project_id="myproject",
    service_account_file="~/.config/gcloud/sa-keys/myserviceaccount.json",
)
print(value)

Notes:

• service_account_file supports ~ and environment variable expansion like $HOME/... (expanded by Python).

3) Using a service account info dict

This is useful when you keep the service account JSON in an environment variable or secret.

import json
import os
from toolssecret import get_secret

sa_info = json.loads(os.environ["GCP_SA_JSON"])

value = get_secret(
    secret_name="api_key_test",
    project_id="myproject",
    service_account_info=sa_info,
)
print(value)

If you omit project_id, toolssecret will try to detect it in this order:

1. GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT, GCLOUD_PROJECT, GCP_PROJECT
2. service_account_info["project_id"] (if provided)
3. service_account_file’s embedded project_id (if provided)
4. ADC project detection

API

get_secret(
  secret_name: str,
  project_id: Optional[str] = None,
  version_id: str = "latest",
  service_account_file: Optional[str] = None,
  service_account_info: Optional[dict] = None,
) -> str

• If both service_account_info and service_account_file are provided, service_account_info wins.
• Secrets are cached in-memory per process (cache key includes which credentials source was used).

Security notes

• Avoid committing service account keyfiles to git.
• Prefer service_account_info sourced from a secure secret store (CI secrets, vault, etc.).
• toolssecret does not log secret values.
