# /sys/wrapping/unwrap

The `/sys/wrapping/unwrap` endpoint unwraps a wrapped response.

### Wrapping unwrap

This endpoint returns the original response inside the given wrapping token. Unlike simply reading `cubbyhole/response` (which is deprecated), this endpoint provides additional validation checks on the token, returns the original value on the wire rather than a JSON string representation of it, and ensures that the response is properly audit-logged.

This endpoint can be used by using a wrapping token as the client token in the API call, in which case the `token` parameter is not required; or, a different token with permissions to access this endpoint can make the call and pass in the wrapping token in the `token` parameter. Do *not* use the wrapping token in both locations; this will cause the wrapping token to be revoked but the value to be unable to be looked up, as it will basically be a double-use of the token!

| Method | Path                   |
| ------ | ---------------------- |
| `POST` | `/sys/wrapping/unwrap` |

#### Parameters

* `token` `(string: "")` – Specifies the wrapping token ID. This is required if the client token is not the wrapping token. Do not use the wrapping token in both locations.

#### Sample payload

```json
{
  "token": "abcd1234..."
}
```

#### Sample request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request POST \
    --data @payload.json \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/wrapping/unwrap
```

Or you can use token to unwrap without authentication in vault

```shell-session
$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: abcd1234..." \
    --request POST \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/wrapping/unwrap
```

#### Sample response

```json
{
  "request_id": "8e33c808-f86c-cff8-f30a-fbb3ac22c4a8",
  "lease_id": "",
  "lease_duration": 2592000,
  "renewable": false,
  "data": {
    "zip": "zap"
  },
  "warnings": null
}
```
