SDK Overview

Official Bella Baxter SDKs for every major platform. Each SDK provides:

• Secret loading at application startup
• HMAC-signed requests with automatic retry
• End-to-end encrypted transport (E2EE) — secrets are encrypted between server and SDK before TLS
• Zero-Knowledge Encryption (ZKE) — optional persistent device key for audit trails and DEK caching
• bella exec / bella run compatibility (no SDK required for basic use)
• Typed secret code generation via bella secrets generate <lang>
• User-Agent: bella-{lang}-sdk/1.0 on every request (visible in your audit log)

No SDK Required

For simple use cases, you don't need an SDK at all. The Bella CLI handles secret injection:

# Write .env file
bella pull

# Inject into any process
bella run -- npm start
bella exec -- python manage.py runserver
bella exec -- java -jar app.jar

Use an SDK when you want programmatic access to secrets inside your application code (e.g., custom loading logic, typed access, framework startup hooks).

Typed Secrets Code Generation

All SDKs support bella secrets generate <lang> to generate a typed class from your current environment's secrets:

bella secrets generate typescript
bella secrets generate csharp
bella secrets generate python
bella secrets generate go
bella secrets generate java
bella secrets generate php

The generated code gives you IDE autocomplete, compile-time checking, and no more process.env.MY_SECRET magic strings.
