Access vault secret from bash script

I am looking for help on a direction on where to go from here. I have a Hasicorp Vault server running and accessible over DNS (local). I need to have a script get a secret from it then use that secret. I am not sure where to go from there. I know I want to use a bash script for this but past that I don't know what to do.

Until now I have been using curl to test it.

Suggestions?

The vault docs mention a -field parameter for the read subcommand. So you should be able to put this into a shell script:

SECRET=$(vault read -field foo secret/mysecret)

Other vault docs use the vault kv get in the same way so you might try:

SECRET=$(vault kv get -field foo secret/mysecret)
