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

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);
});
You can also use the promised version like this:
ovh.requestPromised('GET', '/me')
.then(function (response) {
})
.catch(function (err) {
});
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 to use, you need to create an application on the below
websites:
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 US:
ovh-us
- OVH North-America:
ovh-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:
Migration from 1.x.x to 2.x.x without Proxy support
For example if you use the OVH Europe API, you'll have to check on https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/ the endpoints available for your feature.
In order to have the informations about the bill with id "0123".
- Before in 1.x.x with Proxy:
ovh.me.bill["0123"].$get(function (err, billInformation) {
});
- Now in 2.x.x with promise:
ovh.requestPromised('GET', '/me/bill/0123')
.then(function (billInformation) {
})
.catch(function (err) {
});
