Application Programming Interface
Securely retrieve passwords, secrets and privileged credentials for enterprise automation, IT operations, custom applications and system integrations using the Passwordstate API.
Secure API Access for Enterprise Automation
The Passwordstate API is an HTTP-based interface that provides programmatic access to Passwordstate data and functionality through predictable URLs and standard HTTP methods, including GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.
Developers, administrators and automation platforms can use the API to securely retrieve passwords and sensitive secrets, manage supported Passwordstate resources, build custom integrations and automate routine password-management operations.
What Can You Do with the Passwordstate API?
Securely Retrieve Passwords and Secrets
Retrieve passwords, privileged credentials and other sensitive information for authorised applications, scripts and users.
Automate Password Management
Create scripts and workflows that automate repetitive password-management and administrative operations.
Access Privileged Credentials
Access privileged account credentials through controlled API operations and established Passwordstate permissions.
Build Custom Integrations
Connect Passwordstate with internal applications, reporting platforms and enterprise management tools.
Use Scripts and Command-Line Tools
Integrate through PowerShell, Curl, Ruby, Perl and other tools capable of making standard HTTP requests.
Create Reporting Workflows
Retrieve authorised data for custom reports, dashboards and operational monitoring workflows.
Secure Secrets Retrieval Through the API
Applications, scripts and automation processes often require access to passwords, privileged credentials and other sensitive secrets. Storing these values directly in source code, configuration files or scripts can make them difficult to protect, rotate and audit.
The Passwordstate API enables authorised systems and scripts to retrieve sensitive information from a centrally managed platform, helping organizations reduce hard-coded credentials while maintaining granular permissions, auditing and administrative control.
External integrations can authenticate using assigned API keys. For PowerShell scripts executed within Passwordstate, the Job Scheduling Engine can generate Just-In-Time API keys and rotate them after job execution, reducing reliance on long-lived credentials embedded within scripts.
Common API Use Cases
- Retrieve credentials for authorised scripts
- Support application-to-application integrations
- Automate password-management processes
- Build custom administration and reporting tools
- Provide controlled access to privileged secrets
More Secure Automation Inside Passwordstate
Passwordstate’s Job Scheduling Engine provides a centralised environment for creating, scheduling, executing and auditing PowerShell automation.
Scripts running inside Passwordstate can securely reference Passwordstate data and APIs using Just-In-Time API keys. These keys can be generated automatically for execution and rotated when the job completes, helping prevent reusable API credentials from being stored directly in scripts.
