OVH API Error: This call has not been granted

Question

I need to use OVH API in my Python code but the call returns this error:

OVH API Error: This call has not been granted

import json                                                          
import ovh

client = ovh.Client(
    endpoint='ovh-eu',
    application_key='application_key',                                              
    application_secret='application_secret',                                
    consumer_key='consumer_key',                          
)


project_id = 'project_id '                            

try:
    result = client.get(
        '/cloud/project/' + project_id + '/image',                    
        flavorType=None,
        osType=None,
        region='SBG5'
    )
    print(json.dumps(result, indent=4))
    
except ovh.APIError as e:
    print(f"OVH API Error: {str(e)}")
    print(f"OVH Query ID: {e.response.headers.get('X-Ovh-Queryid')}")

• test in API.OVH.com console is working

return this :

You have this error because the API call you're trying (GET /cloud/project/{project_id}/image) is not granted for the token you generated.

When you generate a token, you need to specify for which API path and HTTP verb (GET, POST etc) this token needs to be granted.

You can specify which API path/HTTP verb needs to be granted in two different ways:

• via UI: https://www.ovh.com/auth/api/createToken. You need to fill the Rights part. It accept regex. For instance: GET on /cloud*
• via curl: create an App in https://www.ovh.com/auth/api/createApp, and grant it on the needed route with:

$ curl -X POST \
     -H "X-Ovh-Application: <application_key>" \
     -H "Content-type: application/json" \
     https://eu.api.ovh.com/1.0/auth/credential \
     -d '{
            "accessRules": [
                {
                    "method": "GET",
                    "path": "/cloud*"
                },
                {
                    "method": "POST",
                    "path": "/cloud*"
                },
            ],
            "redirection": "https://ovhcloud.com/"
        }'
