If you're working with Python, the official [infisical-python](https://github.com/Infisical/sdk/edit/main/crates/infisical-py) package is the easiest way to fetch and work with secrets for your application.
## Basic Usage
```py
from flask import Flask
from infisical_client import ClientSettings, InfisicalClient, GetSecretOptions
app = Flask(__name__)
client = InfisicalClient(ClientSettings(
client_id="MACHINE_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID",
client_secret="MACHINE_IDENTITY_CLIENT_SECRET",
))
@app.route("/")
def hello_world():
# access value
name = client.getSecret(options=GetSecretOptions(
environment="dev",
project_id="PROJECT_ID",
secret_name="NAME"
))
return f"Hello! My name is: {name.secret_value}"
```
This example demonstrates how to use the Infisical Python SDK with a Flask application. The application retrieves a secret named "NAME" and responds to requests with a greeting that includes the secret value.
<Warning>
We do not recommend hardcoding your [Machine Identity Tokens](/platform/identities/overview). Setting it as an environment variable would be best.
</Warning>
## Installation
Run `pip` to add `infisical-python` to your project
```console
$ pip install infisical-python
```
Note: You need Python 3.7+.
## Configuration
Import the SDK and create a client instance with your [Machine Identity](/api-reference/overview/authentication).
```py
from infisical_client import ClientSettings, InfisicalClient
client = InfisicalClient(ClientSettings(
client_id="MACHINE_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID",
client_secret="MACHINE_IDENTITY_CLIENT_SECRET",
))
```
### Parameters
<ParamField query="options" type="object">
<Expandable title="properties">
<ParamField query="client_id" type="string" optional>
Your Infisical Client ID.
</ParamField>
<ParamField query="client_secret" type="string" optional>
Your Infisical Client Secret.
</ParamField>
<ParamField query="access_token" type="string" optional>
If you want to directly pass an access token obtained from the authentication endpoints, you can do so.
</ParamField>
<ParamField query="cache_ttl" type="number" default="300" optional>
Time-to-live (in seconds) for refreshing cached secrets.
If manually set to 0, caching will be disabled, this is not recommended.
</ParamField>
<ParamField
query="site_url"
type="string"
default="https://app.infisical.com"
optional
>
Your self-hosted absolute site URL including the protocol (e.g.
`https://app.infisical.com`)
</ParamField>
</Expandable>
</ParamField>
### Caching
The SDK caches every secret and updates it periodically based on the provided cacheTTL. For example, if cacheTTL of 300 is provided, then a secret will be refetched every 5 minutes. The SDK first attempts to return the cached secret, but if no secret is found it'll make a request to get the fresh secret. Every time the secret is fetched from the cache, the cached secret expiry is reset.
## Working with Secrets
### client.listSecrets(options)
```py
client.listSecrets(options=ListSecretsOptions(
environment="dev",
project_id="PROJECT_ID"
))
```
Retrieve all secrets within the Infisical project and environment that client is connected to
### Parameters
<ParamField query="Parameters" type="object">
<Expandable title="properties">
<ParamField query="environment" type="string" required>
The slug name (dev, prod, etc) of the environment from where secrets should be fetched from.
</ParamField>
<ParamField query="project_id" type="string" required>
The project ID where the secret lives in.
</ParamField>
<ParamField query="path" type="string" optional>
The path from where secrets should be fetched from.
</ParamField>
<ParamField query="attach_to_process_env" type="boolean" default="false" optional>
Whether or not to set the fetched secrets to the process environment. If true, you can access the secrets like so `process.env["SECRET_NAME"]`.
</ParamField>
<ParamField query="include_imports" type="boolean" default="false" optional>
