With the op CLI, I can store things like API keys and secrets in my 1Password
vault and then access them from the command line. This assumes I've already
installed the CLI (brew install 1password-cli) and connected it to the
1Password app via the Developer settings.
The op item get command takes a credential name and returns all the details
for the entry with that Title. Here is how I can access my Anthropic Claude
API Key details.
$ op item get "Anthropic Claude API Key"With the --field flag, I can grab a specific field, such as the credential,
from that entry.
$ op item get "Anthropic Claude API Key" --field credential
sk-ant-api03-abc......xyzA command like this can be embedded in other commands as a way of referencing secrets without explicitly entering them into your shell history.
$ curl https://api -H "x-api-key: $(op item get "Anthropic Claude API Key" --field credential)" ...
