Create a new OVH app

In your browser: https://eu.api.ovh.com/createApp/

Give the app access to your account

export OVH_AK=<your new Application Key>

Then in the terminal:

curl \
	-X POST \
	-H "X-Ovh-Application: ${OVH_AK}" \
	-H "Content-type: application/json" \
	'https://eu.api.ovh.com/1.0/auth/credential'  -d '{
    "accessRules": [
        {
            "method": "GET",
            "path": "/*"
        },
        {
            "method": "POST",
            "path": "/*"
        },
        {
            "method": "PUT",
            "path": "/*"
        },
        {
            "method": "DELETE",
            "path": "/*"
        }
    ],
    "redirection":"https://www.example.com/"
}'

Click on the link and authorise. Then pick the Consumer Key from the JSON response to the curl call:

export OVH_CK=<your new Consumer Key>

Howto

As long as OVH_AK and OVH_CK are available in the environment, it is possible to call any endpoint in the OVH API.

./ovh 'GET' '/domain'
