# 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

# Example Use

```python
from zdesk import Zendesk

################################################################
## NEW CONNECTION CLIENT
################################################################
# Manually creating a new connection object
zendesk = Zendesk('https://yourcompany.zendesk.com', 'you@yourcompany.com', 'passwd')

# Are you getting an error such as...
# "SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed"?
#zendesk = Zendesk('https://yourcompany.zendesk.com', 'you@yourcompany.com', 'passwd',
# client_args={
# "disable_ssl_certificate_validation": True
# }
#)


################################################################
## TICKETS
################################################################

# List
zendesk.tickets_list()

# Create
new_ticket = {
'ticket': {
'requester_name': 'Howard Schultz',
'requester_email': 'howard@starbucks.com',
'subject':'My Starbucks coffee is cold!',
'description': 'please reheat my coffee',
'set_tags': 'coffee drinks',
'ticket_field_entries': [
{
'ticket_field_id': 1,
'value': 'venti'
},
{
'ticket_field_id': 2,
'value': '$10'
}
]
}
}
# Create the ticket and get its URL
result = zendesk.ticket_create(data=new_ticket)

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

# Show
zendesk.ticket_show(id=ticket_id)

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

See the [full example
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.
