Use OVH API in Ruby

If you're searching to quickly copy&paste some code to use OVH's API in Ruby... welcome my friend.
This post is for you. If not, you may not be interested.

Introduction

Lately I struggled to use OVH's API on a Ruby because there isn't any official wrapper made for Ruby.

So I followed OVH's tutorial to make a call to their API, and translated it in a simple Ruby script.

Step 1: Create your script keys

Fill the informations on this page to create your script credentials.

Step 2: Write the Ruby script

Create a file called app.rb for example, and put the code below :

require 'httparty'
require 'digest/sha1'

# CREDENTIALS
APPLICATION_KEY = "hDSISKsDSKdSOHIs" # Fill it with your own key
APPLICATION_SECRET = "hHkNkGHkGuyFliuHGIUGiohmoiHHIUGh" # Fill it with your own key
CONSUMER_KEY = "hIOHoiNkhIgfOYUmpioGPIuhihujIMUG" # Fill it with your own key

BASE_URL = "https://eu.api.ovh.com/1.0"
QUERY = BASE_URL + "/telephony/aliases"

######## STEP 1: CREATE SIGNATURE ########

METHOD = "GET"
QUERY = "https://eu.api.ovh.com/1.0/telephony/aliases"
BODY = ""
TSTAMP = HTTParty.get("https://eu.api.ovh.com/1.0/auth/time").to_s
SIGNATURE = "$1$" + Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(APPLICATION_SECRET + "+" + CONSUMER_KEY + "+" + METHOD + "+" + QUERY + "+" + BODY + "+" + TSTAMP)

######## STEP 2: GET TELEPHONY ALIASES (e.g) ########

options = {
  "headers": {
    "X-Ovh-Application": APPLICATION_KEY,
    "X-Ovh-Consumer": CONSUMER_KEY,
    "X-Ovh-Signature": SIGNATURE,
    "X-Ovh-Timestamp": TSTAMP,
  }
}

aliases = HTTParty.get(BASE_URL + QUERY, options)
puts aliases

Then run :

> ruby app.rb

And you should see something like :

[
    "xxxxxxxxxx",
    "xxxxxxxxxx",
    "xxxxxxxxxx",
    ...
  ]

💬 Blah blah blah

These last months, while browsing github profiles, I would sometimes find some developers having kind of a presentation section made in markdown on their github profile. At this time, I was learning at the bootcamp The Hacking Project and didn't had much time to search about it...

But this week, I'm on holidays ! So I grabbed this task in my to-do list and decided to do it.

Here is the result: My GitHub README profile

⚙️ Setup : ~1min

Create a new github repository
Name it just like your github account
Check the box allowing you to initiate the repository with a README.md file
Write your content in mardown syntax (here is a markdown cheatsheet for you)

🖌️ Pimp your repo

Insert emoji : 😄 😕 😢

To insert emoji in your makrdown file (.md), just consult one of these resources, choose an emoji and copy the associated code like :seedling: to paste it in your file.

Insert cool badges

You may have seen some badges on famous repos while browsing github. Here is how you can add them on your own READMEs.md
