API Authentication¶
Before sending a REST request to the API, you get an OSTOKEN as follows:
1. Get OSTOKEN¶
Create the following file openrc:
export OS_AUTH_URL=https://iam.eu-de.otc.t-systems.com:443/v3
export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=your_user_domain_name
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=your_project_name
export OS_USERNAME=your_username
export OS_PASSWORD=your_password
Source the file
source openrc
Get the OSTOKEN
OSTOKEN=$(openstack token issue -c "id" -f value)
2. Send REST requests¶
For each REST request, set the OSTOKEN in the HTTP header X-Auth-Token to authenticate it:
curl \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "X-Auth-Token: $OSTOKEN"
...
Note
TTL token limit: The OSTOKEN issued by Open Telekom Cloud has a default TTL of 24 hours. However, Cloud Create only accept the OSTOKEN with the TTL of 30 minutes to limit a stolen token.
