Actually hubiC doesn't want you to use its API unless you're a developer, which means you must pass the steps necessary to "create an application", after which you will be able to use all API calls. It's burdensome but doable.

I asked for a key, and was given one instantly... used it with hubic to openstack gateway[1] and works very well

Of course it's easy for you because you understand what a client id and a client secret are, and you know why they differ from your username and password. I'm talking about the average Joe that barely knows what a URL is, a redirect URL even less. You know what openstack means, and you know what a gateway is and can run one.

hubiC makes it astonishingly hard for someone to create an app where a user just puts your account username and password and starts using it. If I was negative I'd say it's a scheme to prevent people actually filling their whole quota, because the only simple way they can do it is through the web ui or through the official syncing app.
