Create a new Agent

Create a new Otobo Agent with a secure password and give it the permissions needed for the thing you want to accomplish.

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="user1", Password="SecurePassword"),
    operations={
        TicketOperation.CREATE.value: "ticket",
        TicketOperation.SEARCH.value: "ticket/search",
        TicketOperation.GET.value: "ticket/get",
        TicketOperation.UPDATE.value: "ticket",
        TicketOperation.HISTORY_GET.value: "ticket/history",
    }
)

2. Initialize the client

import logging
from otobo import OTOBOClient

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)


client = OTOBOClient(config)

3. Create a ticket

from otobo import (TicketOperation, OTOBOClientConfig, AuthData, TicketSearchParams, TicketCreateParams,
                   TicketHistoryParams, TicketUpdateParams, \
                   TicketGetParams, OTOBOClient, 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 otobo 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 otobo import TicketUpdateParams

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

6. Get ticket history

from otobo 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 otobo import FullTicketSearchResponse

full_res: FullTicketSearchResponse = await client.search_and_get(search_params)
