Using AWS Secrets Manager with Python (Lambda Console) : <p>I am attempting to use Secrets Manager a Lambda function in AWS. Secrets a manager is used to store database credentials to Snowflake (username, password).</p>

<p>I managed to set up a secret in Secrets Manager which contains several key/value pairs (e.g. one for username, another for password).</p>

<p>Now I am trying to refer to these values in my Python function code. AWS documentation kindly provides the following snippet:</p>

<pre><code>import boto3
import base64
from botocore.exceptions import ClientError


def get_secret():

    secret_name = "MY/SECRET/NAME"
    region_name = "us-west-2"

    # Create a Secrets Manager client
    session = boto3.session.Session()
    client = session.client(
        service_name='secretsmanager',
        region_name=region_name
    )

    # In this sample we only handle the specific exceptions for the 'GetSecretValue' API.
    # See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/apireference/API_GetSecretValue.html
    # We rethrow the exception by default.

    try:
        get_secret_value_response = client.get_secret_value(
            SecretId=secret_name
        )
    except ClientError as e:
        if e.response['Error']['Code'] == 'DecryptionFailureException':
            # Secrets Manager can't decrypt the protected secret text using the provided KMS key.
            # Deal with the exception here, and/or rethrow at your discretion.
            raise e
        elif e.response['Error']['Code'] == 'InternalServiceErrorException':
            # An error occurred on the server side.
            # Deal with the exception here, and/or rethrow at your discretion.
            raise e
        elif e.response['Error']['Code'] == 'InvalidParameterException':
            # You provided an invalid value for a parameter.
            # Deal with the exception here, and/or rethrow at your discretion.
            raise e
        elif e.response['Error']['Code'] == 'InvalidRequestException':
            # You provided a parameter value that is not valid for the current state of the resource.
            # Deal with the exception here, and/or rethrow at your discretion.
            raise e
        elif e.response['Error']['Code'] == 'ResourceNotFoundException':
            # We can't find the resource that you asked for.
            # Deal with the exception here, and/or rethrow at your discretion.
            raise e
    else:
        # Decrypts secret using the associated KMS CMK.
        # Depending on whether the secret is a string or binary, one of these fields will be populated.
        if 'SecretString' in get_secret_value_response:
            secret = get_secret_value_response['SecretString']
        else:
            decoded_binary_secret = base64.b64decode(get_secret_value_response['SecretBinary'])

    # Your code goes here.
</code></pre>

<p>Later in my <code>def lambda_handler(event, context)</code> function, I have the following snippet to establish a connection to my database:</p>

<pre><code>        conn = snowflake.connector.connect(
            user=USERNAME,
            password=PASSWORD,
            account=ACCOUNT,
            warehouse=WAREHOUSE,
            role=ROLE
            )
</code></pre>

<p>However, I am unable to figure out how to use the <code>get_secret()</code> function to return values for parameters like <code>USERNAME</code> or <code>PASSWORD</code>. </p>

<p>How can this be accomplished? Thank you for the help!</p>
