Before you start​

Huntbase signs in to OVH Cloud with OVH API Application Credentials. Create the credential in OVH Cloud first, then keep it to hand for the Connect step.

  1. Open the OVHcloud token creation page, such as https://www.ovh.com/auth/api/createToken for OVH Europe.
  2. Enter your OVHcloud customer ID, password and an application name. Optionally, add a description and a validity period.
  3. Under Rights, allow the GET method with the path *, which grants read access to all APIs.
  4. Click Create keys and copy the application key, application secret and consumer key.

Permissions:

  • Only GET on *, which is read-only.
Watch out for
  • Keep the application secret and consumer key private. The consumer key is attached to your account.

For the vendor's own instructions, see OVHcloud API first steps.

tip
