gcloud secrets versions access - access a secret version's data
gcloud secrets versions access (VERSION : --secret=SECRET) [--out-file=OUT-FILE-PATH] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
Access the data for the specified secret version.
Access the data for version 123 of the secret 'my-secret':
$ gcloud secrets versions access 123 --secret=my-secret
Note: The output will be formatted as UTF-8 which can corrupt binary secrets.
To write raw bytes to a file use --out-file flag:
$ gcloud secrets versions access 123 --secret=my-secret \ --out-file=/tmp/secret
To get the raw bytes, have Google Cloud CLI print the response as base64-encoded and decode:
$ gcloud secrets versions access 123 --secret=my-secret \ --format='get(payload.data)' | tr '_-' '/+' | base64 -d
