REST API Overview

The REST API for Secret Server provides a robust and flexible way to programmatically interact with the Secret Server platform, enabling seamless integration with other IT systems and automation of critical security processes. The API supports both SOAP and RESTful interfaces, making it accessible to a wide range of programming languages and platforms, including .NET, Java, Python, Ruby, and PowerShell.

SOAP is not supported natively in PowerShell 6+ and only works for Windows PowerShell.
