It supports both OAuth2 (with scoped service accounts compatible with OVHcloud IAM) and the legacy application key/consumer key authentication model. The client handles request signing, credential loading from configuration files, and automatic parameter marshalling\u2014including Python keyword aliasing for reserved words like 'from'.\n\nTypical use cases include managing dedicated servers, configuring DNS and email redirections, retrieving billing information, and automating infrastructure tasks across OVHcloud's European, North American, and US regional endpoints. The package depends on requests and requests-oauthlib for HTTP transport and OAuth2 flows, and works with Python 3.7 and later.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is the official OVHcloud Python SDK with active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. Install it if you need to interact with OVHcloud APIs from Python; the credential and signing complexity it abstracts away makes it the clear choice over hand-rolled HTTP clients."},"id":"ovh","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ovh","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ovh.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ovh/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-07-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ovh","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"\"Official module to perform HTTP requests to the OVHcloud APIs\""},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":558498,"position":6007,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.0"}
