gcloud beta secrets versions access

NAME
gcloud beta secrets versions access - access a secret version's data
SYNOPSIS
gcloud beta secrets versions access (VERSION : --secret=SECRET) [--out-file=OUT-FILE-PATH] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
(BETA) Access the data for the specified secret version.
EXAMPLES
Access the data for version 123 of the secret 'my-secret': 
gcloud beta 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 beta 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 beta secrets versions access 123 --secret=my-secret --format='get(payload.data)' | tr '_-' '/+' | base64 -d
