Welcome to Password Manager API

The Password Manager API is a Laravel-based RESTful service that provides secure storage and management of password credentials. Built with Laravel 9 and Laravel Sanctum, it offers a simple yet powerful solution for applications that need to store and retrieve sensitive password information.

What is Password Manager API?

Password Manager API allows you to:
  • Store passwords securely - Save password credentials associated with specific systems and users
  • Retrieve credentials - Access stored passwords individually or in bulk
  • Update existing entries - Modify password information as credentials change
  • Soft delete passwords - Remove passwords from active use while maintaining data integrity

Key Features

Complete CRUD Operations

Full create, read, update, and delete functionality for password management with validation

RESTful Design

Clean, intuitive API endpoints following REST principles for easy integration

Soft Delete

Passwords are marked as inactive rather than permanently deleted, preserving data history

Laravel Framework

Built on Laravel 9 with modern PHP practices and robust error handling

How It Works

The API manages password entries with three core attributes:
  • password - The encrypted or plain text password value
  • sistema - The system or service the password belongs to
  • usuario - The username associated with the password
Each password entry is automatically assigned a unique ID and has a status flag for soft deletion.

Data Model

Passwords are stored in a MySQL database with the following structure:
protected $fillable = [
    'password',
    'sistema',
    'usuario'
];
The API uses Laravel’s Eloquent ORM for database operations, providing a clean abstraction layer over SQL queries.

Use Cases

Store and manage API keys, database credentials, and service passwords for your applications
Enable teams to securely share credentials for shared services and platforms
Use as the backend service for a custom password manager application
Integrate with CI/CD pipelines to retrieve credentials for automated deployments

API Architecture

The Password Manager API follows a standard Laravel MVC architecture:
  • Routes - Defined in routes/api.php with the /api prefix
  • Controller - passwordsController handles all password operations
  • Model - Passwords model represents password entries
  • Validation - Request validation ensures data integrity

Technology Stack

  • PHP 8.0.2 or higher
  • Laravel Framework 9.19+
  • Laravel Sanctum 3.0+ for API authentication
  • MySQL database for data persistence
  • Eloquent ORM for database operations

Response Format

All API responses return JSON with consistent formatting:
{
  "message": "Operation status message",
  "status": 200,
  "passwords": {}
}
Error responses include detailed error information:
{
  "message": "Invalid data",
  "errors": {
    "password": ["The password field is required."]
  },
  "status": 400
}
