Credentials

Go to Credentials

We know it's not good practice to expose sensitive data in code. Here under credentials, you can add this restricted data used in your automation, like passwords, logins, and email, or any data restricted as below:

Credential-list

Create credentials storage

To add a new credential, you must define a label for this storage and add each secret, informing a key and a value.

How to use credentials with Maestro SDK

You can easily manipulate credentials using the Maestro SDK in your automation code.

Installation

If you don't have the dependency installed yet, just follow these instructions:

pip install botcity-maestro-sdk

Important

In addition to installing, remember to include the dependency in the bot's requirements.txt file.

    <!-- Your other dependencies -->

    </dependency>
</dependencies>

npm i @botcity/botcity-maestro-sdk

npm i @botcity/botcity-maestro-sdk

Importing the SDK

After installation, import the dependency and instantiate the Maestro SDK:

# Import for integration with BotCity Maestro SDK
from botcity.maestro import *

# Disable errors if we are not connected to Maestro
BotMaestroSDK.RAISE_NOT_CONNECTED = False

# Instantiating the Maestro SDK
maestro = BotMaestroSDK.from_sys_args()
# Fetching the details of the current task being executed
execution = maestro.get_execution()

// Import for integration with BotCity Maestro SDK
import dev.botcity.maestro_sdk.*;
...

public void action(BotExecution botExecution) {

    try {
        // Instantiating the Maestro SDK
        BotMaestroSDK maestro = new BotMaestroSDK();
        maestro.login(botExecution);
    ...

// Import for integration with BotCity Maestro SDK
const { BotMaestroSdk } = require('@botcity/botcity-maestro-sdk')

// Getting parameters passed by Runner
const args = process.argv.slice(2)
const [server, taskid, token] = args

// Login with information from the Dev. Environment page
const maestro = new BotMaestroSdk()
maestro.login("YOUR_SERVER_HERE", "YOUR_USER_HERE", "YOUR_KEY_HERE")

// Fetching the details of the current task being executed
const executionTask = await maestro.getTask(taskid)

// Import for integration with BotCity Maestro SDK
import { BotMaestroSdk } from '@botcity/botcity-maestro-sdk'

// Getting parameters passed by Runner
const args = process.argv.slice(2)
const [server, taskid, token] = args

// Login with information from the Dev. Environment page
const maestro: BotMaestroSdk = new BotMaestroSdk()
maestro.login("YOUR_SERVER_HERE", "YOUR_USER_HERE", "YOUR_KEY_HERE")

// Fetching the details of the current task being executed
const executionTask: Task = await maestro.getTask(taskid)

Getting credentials

# Accessing credentials in the Maestro
credential = maestro.get_credential(label="Credential Test", key="password")

// Accessing credentials in the Maestro
String credential = maestro.getCredential("Credential Test", "password");

// Accessing credentials in the Maestro
const credential = await maestro.getCredential("Credential Test", "password")

// Accessing credentials in the Maestro
const credential: string = await maestro.getCredential("Credential Test", "password")
