How can I retrieve the file referenced by a 'Document' Item via the V2 CLI?
I have several 'document' Items stored in a Vault that I'd like to reference dynamically from the command line rather than having to download them from the 1Password App and reference them on my file...
Hey stopsineman,
Starting with 1Password CLI 2.5.0, files within document-type items can also be referenced by the means of secret references.
Have a look at https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/secrets-reference-syntax for more details.
So a string such as op://<vault-name>/<item-name>/<file-name> would be a reference to the underlying document, which can be resolved using, for instance, op read:
op read op://<vault-name>/<item-name>/<file-name>
<your-file-content>
You can find more information about our secret provisioning commands here: https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/secret-references
Let us know if this helps!
Best,
Horia
