The easiest way to use the OVH.com APIs in your node.js applications.

// Create your first application tokens here: https://api.ovh.com/createToken/?GET=/me
var ovh = require('ovh')({
  appKey: process.env.APP_KEY,
  appSecret: process.env.APP_SECRET,
  consumerKey: process.env.CONSUMER_KEY
});

ovh.request('GET', '/me', function (err, me) {
  console.log(err || 'Welcome ' + me.firstname);
});

Installation

The easiest way to get the latest stable release is to grab it from the npm registry.

$ npm install ovh

Alternatively, you may get latest development version directly from Git.

$ npm install git://github.com/ovh/node-ovh.git

Example Usage

Login as a user

1. Create an application

Depending the API you plan yo use, you need to create an application on the below websites:

• OVH Europe
• OVH North-America
• RunAbove
• SoYouStart Europe
• SoYouStart North-America
• Kimsufi Europe
• Kimsufi North-America

Once created, you will obtain an application key (AK) and an application secret (AS).

2. Authorize your application to access to a customer account

To allow your application to access to a customer account using an OVH API, you need a consumer key (CK).

Here is a sample code you can use to allow your application to access to a complete account.

Depending the API you want to use, you need to specify the below API endpoint:

• OVH Europe: ovh-eu (default)
• OVH North-America: ovh-ca
• RunAbove: runabove-ca
• SoYouStart Europe: soyoustart-eu
• SoYouStart North-America: soyoustart-ca
• Kimsufi Europe: kimsufi-eu
• Kimsufi North-America: kimsufi-ca

var ovh = require('ovh')({
  endpoint: 'ovh-eu',
  appKey: 'YOUR_APP_KEY',
  appSecret: 'YOUR_APP_SECRET'
});

ovh.request('POST', '/auth/credential', {
  'accessRules': [
    { 'method': 'GET', 'path': '/*'},
    { 'method': 'POST', 'path': '/*'},
    { 'method': 'PUT', 'path': '/*'},
    { 'method': 'DELETE', 'path': '/*'}
  ]
}, function (error, credential) {
  console.log(error || credential);
});

$ node credentials.js
{ validationUrl: 'https://api.ovh.com/auth/?credentialToken=XXX',
  consumerKey: 'CK',
  state: 'pendingValidation' }

This consumer key can be scoped with a specific authorization. For example if your application will only send SMS:

ovh.request('POST', '/auth/credential', {
  'accessRules': [
    { 'method': 'POST', 'path': '/sms/*/jobs'},
  ]
}, function (error, credential) {
  console.log(error || credential);
});

Once the consumer key will be authorized on the specified URL, you'll be able to play with the API calls allowed by this key.

3. Let's play!

You are now be able to play with the API. Look at the examples available online.

You can browse the API schemas using the web consoles of the APIs:

• OVH Europe
• OVH North-America
• RunAbove
• SoYouStart Europe
• SoYouStart North-America
• Kimsufi Europe
• Kimsufi North-America
