Its README describes it as especially useful for browser plugins such as gopassbridge. ### Project history The standalone gopass-jsonapi repository was created in January 2021. Its README documents the split from earlier gopass release packaging: gopass v1.10 and v1.11 users downloaded the binary from gopass releases, while gopass v1.12 and newer users downloaded gopass-jsonapi from the separate repository's releases. ### Adoption history The README says the project had no regular release process defined and warned that documentation across repositories and gopass versions could be outdated or incomplete. Package adoption nonetheless expanded enough for Fedora and several cross-platform package managers to package it as a separate binary. ### How it is used Users run `gopass-jsonapi configure` for each browser so the required native messaging manifest is installed. Browser extensions then send JSON messages to gopass-jsonapi, which invokes gopass to retrieve login data from the user's password store. ### Why package nerds care gopass-jsonapi is package-nerd notable because it turns browser native messaging setup into a packaged command. It is not the password manager itself; it is the integration shim that lets OS packages, browser manifests, and the gopass CLI cooperate. ### Timeline - 2021: GitHub repository created under gopasspw/gopass-jsonapi. - 2021: v1.11.1 release published on GitHub Releases. - 2022: v1.15.0 release published after a series of 1.14.x releases. - 2025: v1.16.1 release published on GitHub Releases. ### Related projects - The README relates gopass-jsonapi to gopass, gopassbridge, browser native messaging, Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Vivaldi, Iridium, Slimjet, and platform package managers such as Fedora. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - gopass-jsonapi: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/go/gopass-jsonapi/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - dnf - gopass-jsonapi - 1.16.1-4.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: gopass-jsonapi from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/07190dc5ae9f35ae73866675fed6d95fe6e8d9fe22c9d7cdf85862cb2ed24a4c-primary.xml.zst | Gopass Browser Bindings | https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass-jsonapi - pacman - gopass-jsonapi - 1.16.1-1: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: gopass-jsonapi from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | jsonapi for gopass used for bridging to browsers | https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass-jsonapi - MacPorts - gopass-jsonapi: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: security/gopass-jsonapi/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Scoop - main/gopass-jsonapi: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/gopass-jsonapi.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - gopass.gopass-jsonapi: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: gopass.gopass-jsonapi from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
