supporthub-sdk 0.1.0

Official Python SDK for the SupportHub REST API

SupportHub Python SDK

Official Python SDK for the SupportHub REST API.

It provides ergonomic synchronous and asynchronous clients, fully typed pydantic v2 response models, and a high-level long-polling helper for real-time updates.

• API base URL: https://api.support.forestsnet.com/api/v1
• Auth: Authorization: Bearer sk_...
• Full API docs: https://support.forestsnet.com/docs/api-guide

Installation

With Poetry:

poetry add supporthub-sdk

With pip:

pip install supporthub-sdk

Requires Python 3.10+.

Quick start

Synchronous

from supporthub import Client

with Client(api_key="sk_live_...") as client:
    page = client.tickets.list(status="open", page=1)
    for ticket in page.items:
        print(ticket.id, ticket.subject, ticket.status)

    ticket = client.tickets.create(
        contact={"email": "[e-mail]", "name": "Alice"},
        subject="Cannot log in",
        message="I get a 500 error when logging in.",
        priority="high",
    )

    client.messages.send(ticket_id=ticket.id, content="Thanks, looking into it!")
    client.tickets.close(ticket.id)

Asynchronous

import asyncio
from supporthub import AsyncClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncClient(api_key="sk_live_...") as client:
        page = await client.tickets.list(status="open")
        for t in page.items:
            print(t.id, t.subject)

asyncio.run(main())

Configuration

Client(
    api_key="sk_...",
    base_url="https://api.support.forestsnet.com/api/v1",  # optional
    timeout=30.0,                                           # optional
)

You can also inject your own httpx.Client / httpx.AsyncClient via http_client= if you need custom transports, proxies, retries, etc.

Resources

All clients expose the same resource attributes: client.tickets, client.messages, client.contacts, client.updates, client.webhooks.

Tickets

page    = client.tickets.list(status="open", priority="high", page=1, page_size=20)
detail  = client.tickets.get("ticket-uuid", last_messages=50)
ticket  = client.tickets.create(
    contact={"email": "[e-mail]"},
    subject="Help",
    message="Initial message",
    priority="normal",
    tags=["billing"],
)
ticket  = client.tickets.update("ticket-uuid", status="resolved")
ticket  = client.tickets.close("ticket-uuid")
ticket  = client.tickets.reopen("ticket-uuid")

Messages

page = client.messages.list(ticket_id="ticket-uuid", page=1, page_size=50)
msg  = client.messages.send(ticket_id="ticket-uuid", content="Hello!", is_internal=False)

# Inbound from an external source (creates/finds contact and ticket automatically):
result = client.messages.create_inbound(
    contact={"email": "[e-mail]", "name": "Alice"},
    message="Hi, I have a question",
    session_id="sess-abc",
)

Contacts

contacts = client.contacts.list(search="alice", page=1)
contact  = client.contacts.get("contact-uuid")
contact  = client.contacts.upsert(
    internal_id="user-123",
    full_name="Alice Smith",
    email="[e-mail]",
)

Updates (long polling)

Telegram-style long polling. The server holds the connection open until new events arrive or timeout seconds pass.

offset = 0
while True:
    updates = client.updates.poll(
        offset=offset,
        timeout=25,
        types=["ticket.created", "message.created"],
    )
    for u in updates:
        print(u.type, u.data)
        offset = max(offset, u.id)

The async client provides a higher-level streaming helper that tracks the offset internally and yields events as they arrive:

async with AsyncClient(api_key="sk_...") as client:
    async for update in client.updates.stream(types=["message.created"]):
        print(update.type, update.data)

Webhooks

webhooks = client.webhooks.list()
wh = client.webhooks.create(
    url="https://example.com/hooks/supporthub",
    events=["ticket.created", "message.created"],
    description="Production ingestion",
)
print(wh.secret)  # only returned once, on creation
client.webhooks.delete(wh.id)

Long polling vs webhooks

• Webhooks are best for production servers with a public HTTPS endpoint. SupportHub will POST events to your URL and sign them with your webhook secret.
• Long polling (/updates) is great for development, prototyping, workers behind NAT, or any environment without a public callback URL. Use AsyncClient.updates.stream(...) for an async iterator that handles offset tracking and reconnection for you.

Error handling

All HTTP errors raise subclasses of supporthub.APIError:

Status	Exception
400	ValidationError
401	AuthError
403	PermissionError
404	NotFoundError
422	ValidationError
429	RateLimitError
5xx	ServerError

Each exception exposes:

• .status_code — HTTP status
• .error_code — backend error_code if present
• .message — human-readable message
• .detail — raw detail payload from the API

from supporthub import Client, RateLimitError, AuthError, APIError

try:
    client.tickets.list()
except AuthError:
    print("Bad API key")
except RateLimitError as e:
    print("Slow down, retry after", e.retry_after)
except APIError as e:
    print("API error:", e.status_code, e.message)

Models

All responses are parsed into pydantic v2 models with extra="allow" so unknown future fields will not break your code. Common types:

• Ticket, TicketDetail, TicketStatus, TicketPriority
• Message, SenderType
• Contact
• Update, UpdatesResponse
• Webhook
• PaginatedTickets, PaginatedMessages, PaginatedContacts

Use model.model_dump() to get a plain dict.

Development

cd sdks/python
poetry install
poetry run pytest
poetry run ruff check .
