Storing Secrets

​

Managing Secrets and Environment Variables

In the Beam dashboard, you’ll be able to create secrets and environment variables which you can access in your apps.

​

Using Secrets

Once created, you can access a secret like an environment variable:

import os

my_secret_key = os.environ['MY_SECRET_KEY']

​

Creating a globally accessible secret

To create a new secret that is available across all apps in your Beam account, navigate to the Secrets Manager and click Create Secret.

You’ll be prompted to enter a name and value.

​

Creating an app-level secret

You can also create a secret that is only available for a specific app. To create an app-level secret: click an App -> App Settings -> Secrets.
