Using the OVH API (OVHcloud) with Tines

I’ve had to tinker a bit to get the OVH API working within Tines, but eventually succeeded.

INVALID_SIGNATURE was my main hurdle, but eventually got it working, make sure you have API details created beforehand

https://eu.api.ovh.com/createToken/, see their documentation at https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/api/first-steps-with-ovh-api/

The all-in-one block

The magic for using 1 block is using the LOCAL block

These are my Local values and content

{
  "url": "https://api.ovh.com/1.0/ip",
  "method": "GET",
  "body": "<<>>",
  "timestamp": "<<UNIX_TIMESTAMP()>>",
  "clear_sign": "<<CREDENTIAL.ovh_api_application_secret>>+<<CREDENTIAL.ovh_api_consumer_key>>+<<LOCAL.method>>+<<LOCAL.url>>+<<LOCAL.body>>+<<LOCAL.timestamp>>",
  "signature": "$1$<<SHA1(LOCAL.clear_sign)>>"
}

this way we can set up the signature and hash it within 1 block and send it with the HEADER

Full block copy-paste below

{
    "standardLibVersion": "14",
    "actionRuntimeVersion": "4",
    "agents": [
        {
            "disabled": false,
            "name": "Get OVH IP addresses",
            "description": null,
            "options": "{\"url\":\"<<LOCAL.url>>\",\"content_type\":\"application_json\",\"method\":\"=LOCAL.method\",\"headers\":{\"X-Ovh-Application\":\"=CREDENTIAL.ovh_api_application_key\",\"X-Ovh-Consumer\":\"=CREDENTIAL.ovh_api_consumer_key\",\"X-Ovh-Timestamp\":\"=LOCAL.timestamp\",\"X-Ovh-Signature\":\"=LOCAL.signature\"},\"local\":{\"url\":\"https://api.ovh.com/1.0/ip\",\"method\":\"GET\",\"body\":\"<<>>\",\"timestamp\":\"<<UNIX_TIMESTAMP()>>\",\"clear_sign\":\"<<CREDENTIAL.ovh_api_application_secret>>+<<CREDENTIAL.ovh_api_consumer_key>>+<<LOCAL.method>>+<<LOCAL.url>>+<<LOCAL.body>>+<<LOCAL.timestamp>>\",\"signature\":\"$1$<<SHA1(LOCAL.clear_sign)>>\"}}",
            "position": {
                "x": 1950,
                "y": 765
            },
            "type": "httpRequest",
            "timeSavedUnit": "minutes",
            "timeSavedValue": 0,
            "monitorAllEvents": false,
            "monitorFailures": false,
            "monitorNoEventsEmitted": null,
            "form": null
        }
    ],
    "links": [],
    "diagramNotes": []
}

The 3-block setup

Same as the all-in-1 but spread in 3 blocks, for readability & debugging purposes
