Secrets let you store sensitive values — API keys, tokens, and other credentials — that your HTTP tools and auth connections need. Secrets are stored encrypted, so you can reference them in tools without exposing the raw value. Open Settings → Secrets to manage them.
Never share secret values, paste them into chat messages, or commit them to source control. Once stored, a secret’s value is encrypted and not shown again — treat each secret as you would a password.

​
Create a secret

1

Open Secrets

Open Settings → Secrets and select Add secret.
2

Name and value

Give the secret a clear name so you can recognize it later, then paste the credential value (such as an API key or token).
3

Save

Save the secret. homie encrypts the value and stores it securely. You can now reference it from an HTTP tool or auth connection.

​
Edit and delete secrets

You can rename a secret or replace its value at any time — useful when you rotate a key. Deleting a secret removes it permanently; any HTTP tool that relies on it stops working until you provide a replacement.
Creating, editing, and deleting secrets requires the Owner or Admin role.
