This is a simple Ruby script to generate API tokens from the Brightbox Cloud API using your credentials.
Details about the Brightbox Cloud are available here: http://brightbox.com/
The Brightbox API uses OAuth2 (Draft 10) token based authentication for all of it's requests. So if you find yourself making requests from curl getting valid tokens becomes a pain.
Whilst useful at a low level, you might find using the Brightbox CLI tools (https://github.com/brightbox/brightbox-cli) or the Fog library (https://github.com/fog/fog) more use.
The script uses your existing Fog credentials to access the Brightbox URL, client ID and secret and perform an API call to request a token.
Fog supports multiple sets of credentials, each can be setup separately.
:default:
:brightbox_client_id: cli-named
:brightbox_secret: zsp3mk48hwhklt
:additional:
:brightbox_auth_url: "https://api.gb2.brightbox.com"
:brightbox_api_url: "https://api.gb2.brightbox.com"
:brightbox_client_id: cli-kklds
:brightbox_secret: 3hht333qjfDsa17(These are fake values before you think I wasn't paying attention!)
Given it's goal, it is pretty minimal.
Run the script without arguments and it will use your default credentials.
$ get_token
a03979ca5c296ae78996305d6e52117354bd4ee7
Run the script with the name of another set of credentials it uses them instead
$ get_token additional
67d5cb32c0ea874adf59b9600325dcd4764e7176
$ curl https://api.gb1.brightbox.com/1.0/account -H "Authorization: OAuth `get_token`"
... Lots of JSON ...
This is a pretty simple tool that might be useful to someone else. No real additional work on this script.
A replacement tool is planned.
- Delivered as a gem
- Will also check Brightbox CLI credentials for possible matches
