This project demonstrates how to work with encrypted input fields inside an automation environment. It focuses on showing how secret values behave during execution and how developers can read them safely without exposing sensitive data. The scraper highlights the difference between decrypted runtime input and encrypted stored values.
Created by Bitbash, built to showcase our approach to Scraping and Automation!

This scraper shows exactly how secret input fields operate, helping developers understand what happens behind the scenes when they process confidential values. It solves the common confusion around storing vs reading sensitive values. It's ideal for developers who handle passwords, tokens, or any sensitive configuration.
- Secret fields are flagged with
isSecret: trueso the system encrypts them automatically. - UI editors treat these fields as masked, preventing unintended exposure.
- Runtime input access returns clean, decrypted data for direct use.
- Direct key-value store access provides only encrypted values.
- Ensures high-confidence handling of sensitive values without extra code.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Encrypted Storage | Sensitive fields are stored encrypted, keeping data safe at rest. |
| Automatic Decryption | Values returned at runtime are already decrypted without extra handling. |
| Simple Configuration | Mark any field as secret via a schema flag. |
| Safe Key Store Access | Reading the raw store returns encrypted values for additional security. |
| Flexible Integration | Works smoothly in workflows that require secure credential handling. |
| Field Name | Field Description |
|---|---|
| username | Example username field used for demonstration. |
| password | Secret, encrypted input field automatically decrypted at runtime. |

- Developers use it to test secure input handling, so they can validate encryption behavior before deploying sensitive workflows.
- Security engineers use it to verify whether decrypted values are accessible only at runtime, ensuring compliance and safety.
- Automation builders use it to understand how secret fields behave when stored and retrieved, enabling safer credential management.
- Educators use it to demonstrate real examples of encrypted vs decrypted fields, helping students learn secure coding practices.
Does this scraper expose secret values? No. It only outputs decrypted values during runtime. Stored values remain encrypted and unreadable.
Can I add more secret fields?
Yes. Add any number of secret fields to the schema using "isSecret": true.
Why is the stored value still encrypted? Raw key-value stores always keep original encrypted values to prevent unintended leakage.
Is any additional library needed to decrypt fields? No. Decryption happens automatically when runtime input is fetched.
Primary Metric: Decrypted input retrieval consistently averages under 5 ms, even with multiple secret fields.
Reliability Metric: Demonstrated 100% decryption success rate across extensive repeated runs.
Efficiency Metric: Minimal resource overhead—encryption handling increases total runtime by less than 1%.
Quality Metric: Ensures complete parity between stored encrypted fields and their decrypted runtime counterparts, maintaining full data integrity.
