BotOVH

BotOVH is a tiny bot I wrote for my personnal needs.

Is your domain name already taken? Tell BotOVH to grab it for you when it becomes available for registration.

Requirements

Installation

1. Install BotOVH using pip

pip install botovh

BotOVH automatically installs the following dependencies:

2. Create an OVH API application

To interact with the OVH APIs, BotOVH needs to identify itself using an application_key and an application_secret. To get them, you need to register your application.

Once created, you will obtain an application key and an application secret.

3. Configure BotOVH

Create an botovh.conf configuration file at :

Windows : C:\Users\<YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME>\.botovh\botovh.conf
Linux / Mac : /etc/botovh.conf

Here is how the configuration file looks like :

OVH API

[OVH]
ENDPOINT=ovh-eu
APPLICATION_KEY=<YOUR_APPLICATION_KEY>
APPLICATION_SECRET=<YOUR_APPLICATION_SECRET>
; Use 'botovh --key' to request your OVH consumer key.

; Send email notification.
HOST=<SMTP_SERVER_ADDRESS>
PORT=465

PASSWORD=<YOUR_SMTP_PASSWORD>
SEND_FROM=<SEND_EMAIL_FROM>
SEND_TO=<SEND_EMAIL_TO>
