Create API Credentials

You’ll need to create an OVH API application:

  1. Go to OVH Create Application
  2. Create a new application and note your Application Key and Application Secret
  3. Generate a Consumer Key using the Python script below:
import ovh
client = ovh.Client(
'ovh-eu',
application_key='YOUR_APPLICATION_KEY',
application_secret='YOUR_APPLICATION_SECRET',
consumer_key=''
)
# Request API access permissions
ck = client.new_consumer_key_request()
ck.add_rules(ovh.API_READ_ONLY, "/me")
ck.add_recursive_rules(ovh.API_READ_ONLY, "/me")
ck.add_recursive_rules(ovh.API_READ_WRITE, "/sms")
# Request token
validation = ck.request()
print(f"Please visit {validation['validationUrl']} to authenticate")
input("Press Enter after authenticating...")
print(f"Your Consumer Key: {validation['consumerKey']}")
  1. Run the script, visit the validation URL to authorize, then copy your Consumer Key
