NetSuite Professionals

Hey guys,
trying to get *api secret* like: *var secret = 'custsecrettest1_password';*
but when I log it or send it in body it doesn't send the password/key it gives me invalid key and sends the id of secret instead of the value of secret.
Kindly correct me!

This section of the help docs explains secrets management: <https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/netsuite/ns-online-help/article_160216486846.html#Secrets-Management>

I have tried <https://suiteanswers.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/100920/loc/en_US> as well. but its not working either.

Could you provide me a basic code snippet if possible? or share  me link where I can look at?

```/**
* @NApiVersion 2.x
* @NScriptType UserEventScript
*/

define(['N/https', 'N/url'], function(https, url) {
function myLogin(context) {
    var secret = 'custsecrettest1_password'; // &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; Your API secret ID
    var baseUrl ="<https://home.mcddddd.com/sandbox/private/login.php?username=Tim>";
    var authUrl = baseUrl + '&amp;password={' + secret + '}';
    var secureStringUrl = https.createSecureString({
        input: authUrl
    });

    // Assemble the whole string
    var response = https.get({
        url: secureStringUrl
    log.debug(response.body);
    log.debug('Password Used =' + secret);
}
return {
    afterSubmit:myLogin
};
});```

I tried this as well but still its giving me the id of secret field not the value that i store inside.

You can't log the value of a secret or it wouldn't really be a secret anymore. The Help docs I linked above have examples, and there are more <https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/netsuite/ns-online-help/section_0305042314.html#subsect_64151802701|here>

okay , thanks!
we can concatenate it but what if I have to put that key/value inbetween the url not concate it at end!! I tried putting the apiKey in it but it doesn't work

You don't have to concatenate at the end, I believe you just insert `{secret_id}` (including the braces) wherever you want it to be replaced within your string

I'm trying to pass apiKey and password via XML body. but when I keep that secret there. its not working.
