block to store and retrieve sensitive information. Here's a concise overview:
1. Saving a Secret: You can create a Secret
block and save it with a specific name. Here's a basic example:
python
from prefect.blocks.system import Secret
secret = Secret(value="my-secret-value")
secret.save("my-secret", overwrite=True, _sync=True)
2. Loading a Secret: To access the secret, you can retrieve it by its name:
python
from prefect.blocks.system import Secret
loaded_secret = Secret.load("my-secret")
print(loaded_secret.value)
3. JSON Format: If your secret is in JSON format, you can store it as a string and parse it when needed. Prefect does not automatically parse JSON, but you can use Python's built-in json
library to handle it.
4. Retrieving Specific Key: If your secret contains multiple key-value pairs in JSON format, you can access specific keys by parsing the JSON string:
python
import json
from prefect.blocks.system import Secret
loaded_secret = Secret.load("my-json-secret")
secret_dict = json.loads(loaded_secret.value)
specific_value = secret_dict.get("specific_key")
print(specific_value)
For more details, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on secrets.
