How to reactivate API credentials and keep them active for longer?

#1

Hello!

I registered an API access at https://eu.api.ovh.com/ to allow Let’sEncrypt to automatically renew DNS based wildcard certificates. However that access has stopped working, seemingly out of the blue.

Using /me/api/credential/{credentialid} I can get the following information out:

{
  "rules": [
    {
      "method": "GET",
      "path": "/domain/zone/*"
    },
    {
      "path": "/domain/zone/*",
      "method": "POST"
    },
    {
      "path": "/domain/zone/*",
      "method": "PUT"
    },
    {
      "path": "/domain/zone/*/record/*",
      "method": "DELETE"
    }
  ],
  "status": "validated",
  "applicationId": 71333,
  "credentialId": 460480972,
  "ovhSupport": false,
  "creation": "2019-02-18T00:52:43+01:00",
  "lastUse": null,
  "expiration": "2019-02-19T00:52:43+01:00"
}

From that it looks like the API access was only valid for a single day when I created it.
So my question is, how can I reactivate it and keep it active for longer (optimally indefinitely)?

Thanks in advance
