}Requires the IAM action
secrets:CreateSecret. See SECRETS permissions for the full list, what each one covers, and an example policy.Authorizations
An OAuth 2.0 bearer token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>.
This is the recommended way to authenticate.
Get one by exchanging a service account's access key pair at
POST /v1/oauth/token with grant_type=client_credentials. It is the
standard client-credentials grant, so any OAuth-aware library will
obtain and refresh it for you.
curl -s -u "$KEY_ID:$SECRET" -d grant_type=client_credentials \
https://iam.basaltic.sh/v1/oauth/token
Tokens last an hour by default. The same access key pair is separately your AWS SigV4 credential for the S3-compatible object endpoint, which speaks nothing else.
Headers
Optional client-generated key that makes a create replay-safe. Retrying a request with the same key returns the original outcome verbatim instead of creating a duplicate resource. Reusing a key with a different request body is rejected (422); a request whose key is still being processed returns 409. Records are honored for 24 hours. Use a UUID or similarly unique token.
Maximum string length:
255Body
application/json
Unique within the calling account. Resource names must not start with the literal crn: prefix or be UUIDs (canonical, compact, braced, or urn:uuid: forms, in either case).
Example:
"prod/api/stripe-key"
Base64 of the initial value bytes (1 byte - 64 KiB).
Example:
"c3VwZXItc2VjcmV0LXZhbHVl"
Example:
"Stripe live secret key for the payments service"

UUID, CRN or account-scoped name of a customer-managed KMS key to encrypt this secret under. Omit to use the platform-managed default key. The key must be enabled and have encrypt/decrypt usage.
Example:
