zdesk 2.0.1

# Zendesk API Wrapper for Python

Zdesk is a Python wrapper for the Zendesk API. This library provides an
easy and flexible way for developers to communicate with their Zendesk
account in their application.

See the [Zendesk developer site](https://developer.zendesk.com/) for API
documentation. The underlying `zdesk\_api` module has been automatically
generated from this documentation.

## Requirements

Zdesk works with both Python 2 and Python 3. Tested on Python 2.7.5 and 3.4.1.

httplib2 is used for authentication and requests

(pip install | easy_install) httplib2

simplejson is used to serialze and deserialze requests and responses

(pip install | easy_install) simplejson

## Installation

Zdesk is available on pypi, so installation should be fairly simple:

(pip install | easy_install) zdesk

}
]
}
}
result = zendesk.ticket_create(data=new_ticket, complete_response=True)

# URL to the created ticket
ticket_url = result['response']['location']

# Need ticket ID?
from zendesk import get_id_from_url
ticket_id = get_id_from_url(ticket_url)

# Show
zendesk.ticket_show(id=ticket_id)

# Delete
zendesk.ticket_delete(id=ticket_id)
```

file](https://github.com/fprimex/zdesk/blob/master/examples/__init__.py) on
github, however this is not anywhere close to covering all of the over 400 REST
API methods.
