Use Unified Secrets Gateway (USG) to retrieve secrets through APIs.

USG provides two methods to retrieve secrets:

* Java API
* Server API

All API methods include full authorization validation and comprehensive audit logging of every access attempt.

## Retrieve secrets using the Java API

Call SecretsAPI.getSecret() or SecretsAPI.getSecrets() from Java applications and server-side integrations to retrieve individual or batch secrets.

## Retrieve secrets using the Server API

Use the scriptable API to retrieve secrets from background scripts, business rules, flows, or other server-side scripts.
