What problem does it solve?

Managing credentials securely and efficiently across development and automation workflows often leads to insecure practices or manual overhead. The Bitwarden CLI with API-key authentication provides a centralized, auditable vault that can be accessed from scripts and CI without exposing secrets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Secure vault access: Authenticate with Bitwarden using API keys and unlock sessions to retrieve credentials on demand.
  • Automation-ready: Scripted login, item retrieval, and storage of service credentials for local development, CI pipelines, and automation tasks.
  • Use Case: A developer uses a CI job to fetch a service's API key and inject it into the build environment without hard-coding secrets.

Quick Start

Install the Bitwarden CLI, configure BW_CLIENTID and BW_CLIENTSECRET in a local .env file or environment, then login and unlock the vault:

  • npm install -g @bitwarden/cli
  • source .env
  • bw login --apikey
  • export BW_SESSION=$(bw unlock --raw)
  • bw list items --search "SERVICE"
