Secret Metadata API - User Guide
The Secret Metadata resource is an additional resource associated with Secrets. It allows a user to be able to associate various key/value pairs with a Secret.
How to Create/Update Secret Metadata
To create/update the secret metadata for a specific secret, we will need to know the secret reference of the secret we wish to add user metadata to. Any metadata that was previously set will be deleted and replaced with this metadata. For more information on creating/updating secret metadata, you can view the PUT /v1/secrets/{uuid}/metadata section.
curl -X PUT -H "content-type:application/json" -H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN" \
-d '{ "metadata": {
"description": "contains the AES key",
"geolocation": "12.3456, -98.7654"
}
}' \
http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets/2a549393-0710-444b-8aa5-84cf0f85ea79/metadataThis should provide a response as follows:
{"metadata_ref": "http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets/2a549393-0710-444b-8aa5-84cf0f85ea79/metadata"}How to Retrieve Secret Metadata
To retrieve the secret metadata for a single key/value pair, we will need to know the secret reference of the secret we wish to see the user metadata of. If there is no metadata for a particular secret, then an empty metadata object will be returned.
curl -H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN" \
http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets/2a549393-0710-444b-8aa5-84cf0f85ea79/metadata/This should provide a response as follows:

"metadata": {
"description": "contains the AES key",
"geolocation": "12.3456, -98.7654"
}
}How to Create Individual Secret Metadata
To create the secret metadata for a single key/value pair, we will need to know the secret reference. This will create a new key/value pair. In order to update an already existing key, please see the update section below.
curl -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" -H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN" \
-d '{ "key": "access-limit", "value": "11" }' \
http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets/2a549393-0710-444b-8aa5-84cf0f85ea79/metadataThis should provide a response as follows:
Secret Metadata Location: http://example.com:9311/v1/secrets/{uuid}/metadata/access-limit
{
"key": "access-limit",
"value": 11
}How to Update an Individual Secret Metadata
To update the secret metadata for a single key/value pair, we will need to know the secret reference as well as the name of the key.
curl -X PUT -H "content-type:application/json" -H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN" \
-d '{ "key": "access-limit", "value": "0" }' \
http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets/2a549393-0710-444b-8aa5-84cf0f85ea79/metadata/access-limitThis should provide a response as follows:
{
"key": "access-limit",
"value": 0
}How to Retrieve an Individual Secret Metadata
To retrieve the secret metadata for a specific key/value pair, we will need to know the secret reference as well as the name of the metadata key.
curl -H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN" \
