def set_secret(name: str, value: str | bytes, *, client_request_token: str | None = None, **sdk_options)

Modify the details of a secret or create a new secret if it doesn't already exist.

We aim to minimize API calls by assuming that the secret already exists and needs updating. If it doesn't exist, we attempt to create a new one. Refer to the following workflow for a better understanding:

              ┌────────────────────────┐      ┌─────────────────┐
    ┌───────▶│Resource NotFound error?│────▶│Create Secret API│─────┐
    │         └────────────────────────┘      └─────────────────┘     │
    │                                                                 │
    │                                                                 │
    │                                                                 ▼

┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────────┐ │Update Secret API│────────────────────────────────────────────▶│ Return or Exception │ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────────┘

Parameters

name : str
The ARN or name of the secret to add a new version to or create a new one.
value : str, dict or bytes
Specifies text data that you want to encrypt and store in this new version of the secret.
client_request_token : str, optional
This value helps ensure idempotency. It's recommended that you generate a UUID-type value to ensure uniqueness within the specified secret. This value becomes the VersionId of the new version. This field is auto-populated if not provided, but no idempotency will be enforced this way.
sdk_options : dict, optional
Dictionary of options that will be passed to the Secrets Manager update_secret API call

Raises

SetSecretError
When attempting to update or create a secret fails.

Returns:

Setsecretresponse

The dict returned by boto3.

Example

Sets a secret*

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities import parameters
>>>
>>> parameters.set_secret(name="llamas-are-awesome", value="supers3cr3tllam@passw0rd")

Sets a secret and includes an client_request_token

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities import parameters
>>>
>>> parameters.set_secret(
        name="my-secret",
        value='{"password": "supers3cr3tllam@passw0rd"}',

Example

Retrieves a parameter value from a DynamoDB table

In this example, the DynamoDB table uses id as hash key and stores the value in the value attribute. The parameter item looks like this:

{ "id": "my-parameters", "value": "Parameter value a" }

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.parameters import DynamoDBProvider
>>> ddb_provider = DynamoDBProvider("ParametersTable")
>>>
>>> value = ddb_provider.get("my-parameter")
>>>
>>> print(value)
My parameter value

Retrieves a parameter value from a DynamoDB table that has custom attribute names

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.parameters import DynamoDBProvider
>>> ddb_provider = DynamoDBProvider(

...     value_attr="my-value"

>>> ddb_provider = DynamoDBProvider("ParametersTable", config=config)
>>>

Retrieves a parameter value from a DynamoDB table passing options to the SDK call

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.parameters import DynamoDBProvider
>>> ddb_provider = DynamoDBProvider("ParametersTable")
>>>
>>> value = ddb_provider.get("my-parameter", ConsistentRead=True)
>>>
>>> print(value)
My parameter value

Retrieves multiple values from a DynamoDB table

In this case, the provider will use a sort key to retrieve multiple values using a query under the hood. This expects that the sort key is named sk. The DynamoDB table contains three items looking like this:

{ "id": "my-parameters", "sk": "a", "value": "Parameter value a" }
{ "id": "my-parameters", "sk": "b", "value": "Parameter value b" }

def get(self, name: str, max_age: int | None = None, transform: TransformOptions = None, decrypt: bool | None = None, force_fetch: bool = False, **sdk_options)

Retrieve a parameter value or return the cached value

Parameters

name : str
Parameter name
max_age : int, optional
Maximum age of the cached value
transform : str
Optional transformation of the parameter value. Supported values are "json" for JSON strings and "binary" for base 64 encoded values.
decrypt : bool, optional
If the parameter value should be decrypted
force_fetch : bool, optional
Force update even before a cached item has expired, defaults to False
sdk_options : dict, optional
Arguments that will be passed directly to the underlying API call

Raises

GetParameterError
When the parameter provider fails to retrieve a parameter value for a given name.
TransformParameterError
When the parameter provider fails to transform a parameter value.
def get_multiple(self, path: str, max_age: int | None = None, transform: TransformOptions = None, raise_on_transform_error: bool = False, decrypt: bool | None = None, force_fetch: bool = False, recursive: bool = False, **sdk_options)

Retrieve multiple parameters based on a path prefix

Parameters

path : str
Parameter path used to retrieve multiple parameters
max_age : int, optional
Maximum age of the cached value
transform : str, optional
Optional transformation of the parameter value. Supported values are "json" for JSON strings, "binary" for base 64 encoded values or "auto" which looks at the attribute key to determine the type.
raise_on_transform_error : bool, optional
Raises an exception if any transform fails, otherwise this will return a None value for each transform that failed
force_fetch : bool, optional
Force update even before a cached item has expired, defaults to False
recursive : bool, optional
If this should retrieve the parameter values recursively or not
sdk_options : dict, optional
Arguments that will be passed directly to the underlying API call

Raises

GetParameterError
When the parameter provider fails to retrieve parameter values for a given path.
TransformParameterError
When the parameter provider fails to transform a parameter value.
def get_parameters_by_name(self, parameters: dict[str, dict], transform: TransformOptions = None, decrypt: bool | None = None, max_age: int | None = None, raise_on_error: bool = True)

Retrieve multiple parameter values by name from SSM or cache.

Raise_on_error decides on error handling strategy:

  • A) Default to fail-fast. Raises GetParameterError upon any error
  • B) Gracefully aggregate all parameters that failed under "_errors" key

It transparently uses GetParameter and/or GetParameters depending on decryption requirements.

Parameters

parameters : dict[str, dict]
List of parameter names, and any optional overrides

raise_on_error : bool
Whether to fail-fast or fail gracefully by including "_errors" key in the response, by default True

Raises

GetParameterError

When the parameter provider fails to retrieve a parameter value for a given name.

When "_errors" reserved key is in parameters to be fetched from SSM.

Methods

def set(self, name: str, value: str | bytes | dict, *, client_request_token: str | None = None, **sdk_options)

Modify the details of a secret or create a new secret if it doesn't already exist.

We aim to minimize API calls by assuming that the secret already exists and needs updating. If it doesn't exist, we attempt to create a new one. Refer to the following workflow for a better understanding:

              ┌────────────────────────┐      ┌─────────────────┐
    ┌───────▶│Resource NotFound error?│────▶│Create Secret API│─────┐
    │         └────────────────────────┘      └─────────────────┘     │
    │                                                                 │
    │                                                                 │
    │                                                                 ▼

Parameters

name : str
The ARN or name of the secret to add a new version to or create a new one.
value : str, dict or bytes
Specifies text data that you want to encrypt and store in this new version of the secret.
client_request_token : str, optional
This value helps ensure idempotency. It's recommended that you generate a UUID-type value to ensure uniqueness within the specified secret. This value becomes the VersionId of the new version. This field is auto-populated if not provided, but no idempotency will be enforced this way.
sdk_options : dict, optional
Dictionary of options that will be passed to the Secrets Manager update_secret API call

Raises

SetSecretError
When attempting to update or create a secret fails.

Returns:

Setsecretresponse

The dict returned by boto3.

Example

Sets a secret*

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities import parameters
>>>
>>> parameters.set_secret(name="llamas-are-awesome", value="supers3cr3tllam@passw0rd")

Sets a secret and includes an client_request_token

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities import parameters
>>> import uuid
>>>
>>> parameters.set_secret(
        name="my-secret",
        value='{"password": "supers3cr3tllam@passw0rd"}',
        client_request_token=str(uuid.uuid4())
    )
