Yep, and that code I mostly took from my script which is in my signature most of the time. Now I'll have to take some time to see if I want to merge some of your enhancements!
I also started playing with the OVH API and damn it if I don't feel like I have too much trust in the infrastructure from the company whose APIs seem to have been written by some juniors.
Is it possible to share with us this?
Yeah you have to fix some inconsistencies between availabilities and catalog, I do it in my script when I see one.
The website doesn't suffer from this problem obviously, so I don't think this kind of issues is blocking for OVH, hence they are not fixed.
No, at least not yet.
It is fully buggy at this moment but I have some plans with it.
nice script share with us can u?
This shit looks better and better but each new feature brings back bugs fixed in other features.
To stay on track, I won't make this tool public at least for now.
Because the topic has derailed a bit, I notice that the availability changes very little. In 24 hours I had only two changes in the total configurations available in the FRA datacenter that I follow.
In other words, interesting configurations either come rarely or sell out instantly.
Cool features would be change subsidiary/api and change currency
It’s the weekend in the middle of the month. I have a feeling from past experience (but no real data to back that up) that big restocks happen at the beginning of the month, or at least during weekdays. Otherwise it's the random server which was cancelled and depending on the demand, it can be bought in minutes.
Looking to buy a RISE-S-1.
Also, if anyone's interested, I have an Intel Xeon-E 2136, 128GB, 2x512GB renewing for $42.
Not interested but probably worth mentioning the datacenter too.
Is it guaranteed to get set up free if there is a commitment of more than 1 month? I tried getting it, but invoice show set up fee
now there is no availability!
Looking for a KS-2 with 4x2TB in FRA, global account.
Also how do you buy with API? do you use it local or is there any website for it?
Hey, Yes my mistake. It's in Canada – East – Beauharnois and the monthly renewal price is $41.50.
Not all commitments bring benefits, that's normal.
Then I don't know if there is an implementation of the API somewhere that would order for your account, and I wouldn't use something like that except locally because you don't want your credentials to no longer be yours, regardless of the reputation of the person who would offer you such a service.
You can still scrape the ovh site or use a puppeteer to automate things
Today a new KS-6 with 128GB RAM appeared at 38.99 EUR/mo. I placed an order via API but paid after the offer disappeared from the OVH website, hoping that out of necessity they would offer me a better configuration just to deliver my service within an hour, as specified in the API.
Bad luck, not even 6 hours later the server is delivered and it seems that if I really needed it, now I would have been desperate because OVH does not refund you even if the service is not delivered if you ordered as a company.
In case you haven't realized it, it's clear that I have a problem because I've paid so many installation fees to OVH that any trace of profitability is being amortized by losses with servers ordered for a short time.
I think the KS-B & C have free setup fee if you commit to 3 months or more, it should be displayed on the website when they are available. The other servers, I don't think so.
The API is public. OVH provides helpers for several programming languages, for example: https://github.com/ovh/python-ovh. In the readme of that Github repo, they also give the URL of the APIs which you can use directly in your browser if you want ( @adns has useful instructions to order from the API manually, in their signature ).
I use OVH's helper for my own script. Other users here have made their own scripts too.
If you want a website, @wuck posted a link to this repo some time ago: https://github.com/orvice/ovhcart. In the readme there is an URL: https://ovhcart.lovec.at/
I have not tried this.
Got it delivered after ~ 9h.
Second KS-6 which was delivered exactly as described.
1T params model just dropped.
Time to burn down some servers.

Added: 24sys042, 24sys052, 24sys3p2, 25sysle012, 25sysle022
Deleted: 24sys041, 24sys051, 24sys3p1, 25sysle011, 25sysle021, 25sysle031
Are these the same prices as before for the "new-new" SYS-LE?
We were wanting some KS-LE’s 💔
fixed
All the SYS-LE packages are gone from API.
In the morning they had 203 configs available in FRA and now just 168.
Could be same configs renamed.
Interestingly, I guess in an OVH way, the renamed SYS-LE (25sysle[x]2) were added to the catalog but not to the availabilities.
Back in stock:
any upgrades? this is expensive
