otobo 0.1.3

Python client library for the OTOBO REST API

Python OTOBO Client Library

An asynchronous Python client for interacting with the OTOBO REST API. Built with httpx and pydantic for type safety and ease of use.

Features

• Asynchronous HTTP requests using httpx.AsyncClient

• Pydantic models for request and response data validation

• Full CRUD operations for tickets:

  • TicketCreate
  • TicketSearch
  • TicketGet
  • TicketUpdate
  • TicketHistoryGet

• Error handling via OTOBOError for API errors

• Utility method search_and_get to combine search results with detailed retrieval

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install otobo

Quickstart

1. Configure the client

from otobo import TicketOperation, OTOBOClientConfig
from otobo import AuthData

config = OTOBOClientConfig(
    base_url="https://your-otobo-server/nph-genericinterface.pl",
    service="OTOBO",
    auth=AuthData(UserLogin="root@localhost", Password="1234"),
    operations={
        TicketOperation.CREATE.value:    "ticket-create",
        TicketOperation.SEARCH.value:    "ticket-search",
        TicketOperation.GET.value:       "ticket-get",
        TicketOperation.UPDATE.value:    "ticket-update",
        TicketOperation.HISTORY_GET.value: "ticket-history-get",
    }
)

2. Initialize the client

import logging
from httpx import AsyncClient
from otobo import OTOBOClient

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

# Optionally inject your own AsyncClient
async_client = AsyncClient()

client = OTOBOClient(config, client=async_client)

3. Create a ticket

from models.request_models import TicketCreateParams
from models.response_models import OTOBOTicketCreateResponse

payload = TicketCreateParams(
    Ticket={
        "Title": "New Order",
        "Queue": "Sales",
        "State": "new",
        "Priority": "3 normal",
        "CustomerUser": "[e-mail]"
    },
    Article={
        "Subject":  "Product Inquiry",
        "Body":     "Please send pricing details...",
        "MimeType": "text/plain"
    }
)

response: OTOBOTicketCreateResponse = await client.create_ticket(payload)
print(response.TicketID, response.TicketNumber)

4. Search and retrieve tickets

from models.request_models import TicketSearchParams, TicketGetParams

search_params = TicketSearchParams(Title="%Order%")
search_res = await client.search_tickets(search_params)
ids = search_res.TicketID

for ticket_id in ids:
    get_params = TicketGetParams(TicketID=ticket_id, AllArticles=1)
    details = await client.get_ticket(get_params)
    print(details.Ticket[0])

5. Update a ticket

from models.request_models import TicketUpdateParams

update_params = TicketUpdateParams(
    TicketID=response.TicketID,
    Ticket={"State": "closed"}
)
await client.update_ticket(update_params)

6. Get ticket history

from models.request_models import TicketHistoryParams

history_params = TicketHistoryParams(TicketID=str(response.TicketID))
history_res = await client.get_ticket_history(history_params)
print(history_res.History)

7. Combined search and get

from models.response_models import FullTicketSearchResponse

full_res: FullTicketSearchResponse = await client.search_and_get(search_params)
