Create a secret - E2B Docs

Create a secret with Secret.create. The name is yours to choose; the value is stored encrypted and the response carries metadata only.

import { Secret } from 'e2b'

const secret = await Secret.create('stripe_api_key', 'sk_live_...', {
  metadata: { environment: 'production' },
})

console.log(secret.secretId) // sec_...
console.log(secret.version) // 1

from e2b import Secret

secret = Secret.create(
    "stripe_api_key",
    "sk_live_...",
    metadata={"environment": "production"},
)

print(secret.secret_id)  # sec_...
print(secret.version)  # 1

Secret names

When creating a secret, its name must contain 1–128 ASCII letters, digits, underscores (_), or hyphens (-), with no whitespace. The API lowercases the name before storing it, so My-Key and my-key identify the same secret. Names may not start with the reserved sec_ prefix, in any capitalization. Invalid names, including names with surrounding whitespace, receive a 400 API error that doesn’t echo the name back. Creating a name that already exists in the project returns 409. Use Secret.update to rotate its value. Each secret also receives a stable sec_... identifier. Every method that takes a single secret (Secret.getInfo, Secret.exists, Secret.update, and Secret.destroy) accepts either the identifier or the name.
