This PHP package is a lightweight wrapper for OVH APIs. That's the easiest way to use OVH.com APIs in your PHP applications.

<?php
/**
 * # Instantiate. Visit https://api.ovh.com/createToken/index.cgi?GET=/me
 * to get your credentials
 */
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use \Ovh\Api;

$ovh = new Api( $applicationKey,
                $applicationSecret,
                $endpoint,
                $consumer_key);
echo "Welcome " . $ovh->get('/me')['firstname'];
?>

Quickstart

To download this wrapper and integrate it inside your PHP application, you can use Composer.

Quick integration with the following command:

composer require ovh/ovh

Or add the repository in your composer.json file or, if you don't already have this file, create it at the root of your project with this content:

{
    "name": "Example Application",
    "description": "This is an example of OVH APIs wrapper usage",
    "require": {
        "ovh/ovh": "dev-master"
    }
}

Then, you can install OVH APIs wrapper and dependencies with:

php composer.phar install

This will install ovh/ovh to ./vendor, along with other dependencies including autoload.php.

How to login as a user?

To communicate with APIs, the SDK uses a token on each request to identify the user. This token is called Consumer Key. To have a validated Consumer Key, you need to redirect your user on specific authentication page. Once the user has logged in, the token is validated and user will be redirected on $redirection url.

<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use \Ovh\Api;

session_start();

// Informations about your application
$applicationKey = "your_app_key";
$applicationSecret = "your_app_secret";
$redirection = "http://your_url.ovh";

// Information about API and rights asked
$endpoint = 'ovh-eu';
$rights = array( (object) [
    'method'    => 'GET',
    'path'      => '/me*'
]);

// Get credentials
$conn = new Api($applicationKey, $applicationSecret, $endpoint);
$credentials = $conn->requestCredentials($rights, $redirection);

// Save consumer key and redirect to authentication page
$_SESSION['consumer_key'] = $credentials["consumerKey"];
header('location: '. $credentials["validationUrl"]);
...
?>

How to use OVH API to enable network burst on SBG1 servers?

<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use \Ovh\Api;

// Informations about your application
$applicationKey = "your_app_key";
$applicationSecret = "your_app_secret";
$consumer_key = "your_consumer_key";

// Information about API and rights asked
$endpoint = 'ovh-eu';

// Get servers list
$conn = new Api(    $applicationKey,
                    $applicationSecret,
                    $endpoint,
                    $consumer_key);
$servers = $conn->get('/dedicated/server/');

foreach ($servers as $server) {

    // Search servers inside SBG1
    $details = $conn->get('/dedicated/server/'. $server);
    if ($details['datacenter'] == 'sbg1') {

        // Activate burst on server
        $content = (object) array('status' => "active");
        $conn->put('/dedicated/server/'. $server . '/burst', $content);
        echo "We burst " . $server;
    }
}

?>

How to customize HTTP client configuration?

You can inject your own HTTP client with your specific configuration. For instance, you can edit user-agent and timeout for all your requests

<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use \Ovh\Api;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;

// Informations about your application
$applicationKey = "your_app_key";
$applicationSecret = "your_app_secret";
$consumer_key = "your_consumer_key";

// Information about API and rights asked
$endpoint = 'ovh-eu';

$client = new Client();
$client->setDefaultOption('timeout', 1);
$client->setDefaultOption('headers', array('User-Agent' => 'api_client') );

// Get servers list
$conn = new Api(    $applicationKey,
                    $applicationSecret,
                    $endpoint,
                    $consumer_key,
                    $client);
$webHosting = $conn->get('/hosting/web/');

foreach ($webHosting as $webHosting) {
        echo "One of our web hosting: " . $webHosting . "\n";
}
?>

How to print API error details?

Under the hood, php-ovh uses GuzzlePHP 6 by default to issue API requests. If everything goes well, it will return the response directly as shown in the examples above. If there is an error like a missing endpoint or object (404), an authentication or authorization error (401 or 403) or a parameter error, the Guzzle will raise a GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException exception. For server-side errors (5xx), it will raise a GuzzleHttp\Exception\ServerException exception.

You can get the error details with a code like:

<?php
/**
 * # Instantiate. Visit https://api.ovh.com/createToken/index.cgi?GET=/me
 * to get your credentials
 */
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use \Ovh\Api;

$ovh = new Api( $applicationKey,
                $applicationSecret,
                $endpoint,
                $consumer_key);

try {
    echo "Welcome " . $ovh->get('/me')['firstname'];
} catch (GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException $e) {
    $response = $e->getResponse();
    $responseBodyAsString = $response->getBody()->getContents();
    echo $responseBodyAsString;
}
?>

How to build the documentation?

Documentation is based on phpdocumentor. To install it with other quality tools, you can install local npm project in a clone a project

git clone https://github.com/ovh/php-ovh.git
cd php-ovh
php composer.phar install

To generate documentation, it's possible to use directly:

vendor/bin/phing phpdocs

Documentation is available in docs/ directory.

How to run tests?

Tests are based on phpunit. To install it with other quality tools, you can install local npm project in a clone a project

git https://github.com/ovh/php-ovh.git
cd php-ovh
php composer.phar install

Edit phpunit.xml file with your credentials to pass functionals tests. Then, you can run directly unit and functionals tests with phing.

vendor/bin/phing test

To skip functionals and run unit tests only, you can use the only.units option :

vendor/bin/phing test -Donly.units=true
