pybolt

Simple modern python library for accessing secrets stored in passbolt

Rationale

I needed a simple way to access credentials stored in passbolt; I've found only obsolete packages and decided to write a quick one.

Usage

You need:

• a working passbolt server (let's say at https://mypassbolt.domain.example)
• a set of credentials for that server:
  • an ascii-armored private key (e.g. in file myprivatekey.asc)
  • the passphrase for that key (e.g. mysecretpassphrase)
• the uuid of a secret you want to know

Then you can just import pybolt and use it like this:

import pybolt

url="https://mypassbolt.domain.example"
passphrase="mysecretpassphrase"
private_key="myprivatekey.asc"
secret_uuid='31d79219-86e8-4cbf-b5ac-0b49f7aefa7b'

b = pybolt.Bolt(url, private_key, passphrase)
b.verify()
b.login()
secret = b.get_secret(secret_uuid)
print(f"PASSWORD: '{secret['password']}'")

Installation

Easy:

pip install pypassbolt

(no, I couldn't use pybolt as pypi package name as it is already used).
