Bitwarden 1.0.0

C# Bitwarden-Vault-CLI-API

The offical Bitwarden API is only for organisational management. If you want to manage your Bitwarden Vault there is the BitWarden CLI.

This project is a simple C# wrapper that integrates with the Bitwarden CLI (Command Line Interface) and makes it available as an API (App Programming Interface) accessible via C# code.

The Documentation on the Bitwarden CLI is available here: https://bitwarden.com/help/cli/

The Bitwarden bw.exe CLI needs to be in the same diretcory as the .exe. You can download the BitWarden CLI from the Bitwarden website

This proof of concept API has only been tested on Windows

Example C# Code:

    static void TestBitwardenCLI()
    {
        string client_id = "user.YourClientID";       //see https://bitwarden.com/help/public-api/
        string client_secret = "YourClientSecret";    //see https://bitwarden.com/help/public-api/
        string email = "yourmail@yourdomain.com";
        string password = "Sup3rS3cr3tP@ssw0rd";
        int otp2FA = 999999;                                //it's not mandatory, but highly recommended
        string url = "https://yourownserver.youdomain.com"; //default: https://vault.bitwarden.com

        BitwardenCLI bitwarden;
        try
        {
            Console.Write("Trying logging into Bitwarden ... ");

            //Choose just one method to login

            //login with email
            bitwarden = new BitwardenCLI(url, email, password);

            //login with email and OTP 2FA
            bitwarden = new BitwardenCLI(url, email, password, otp2FA); 

            //login with client_id and client_secret
            bitwarden = new BitwardenCLI(url, client_id, client_secret, password);

            Console.WriteLine("Success!");
        }
        catch (Exception error)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Fail: {error.Message}");
            return;
