import streamlit as st
from databricks.sdk import WorkspaceClient

w = WorkspaceClient()

def get_secret(scope, key):
    try:
        secret_response = w.secrets.get_secret(scope=scope, key=key)
        decoded_secret = base64.b64decode(secret_response.value).decode('utf-8')
        return decoded_secret
    except Exception as e:
        st.error("Secret not found or inaccessible. Please create a secret scope and key before retrieving.")

scope_name = st.text_input("Secret scope:", "my_secret_scope")
secret_key = st.text_input("Secret key (name):", "api_key")

if st.button("Retrieve"):
    secret = get_secret(scope_name, secret_key)
    st.success("Secret retrieved! The value is securely handled in the backend.")
