hvac is a Python 3.x client library for the HashiCorp Vault HTTP API. It lets Python applications authenticate to Vault and read, write, and manage secrets and Vault configuration programmatically.
Use cases
- read secrets from hashicorp vault in python
- authenticate python app to vault
- manage vault policies programmatically
- store and retrieve database credentials from vault
- integrate vault into python application
- wrap vault api calls in python
When to choose
- your Python application needs to fetch secrets from HashiCorp Vault
- you want to automate Vault administration tasks from Python scripts
- you need a well-maintained, tested client covering recent Vault versions
When to avoid
- you use a different secrets manager like AWS Secrets Manager or Azure Key Vault
- you need a CLI tool rather than a Python library
- you run a Vault version older than v1.4.7
