zenpy's Introduction

Build Status

Zenpy

Zenpy is a Python wrapper for the Zendesk, Chat and HelpCentre APIs. The goal of the project is to make it easy to write clean, fast, Pythonic code when interacting with Zendesk progmatically. The wrapper tries to keep API calls to a minimum. Wherever it makes sense objects are cached, and attributes of objects that would trigger an API call are evaluated lazily.

Zenpy supports both Python2 and Python3.

Please report bugs!

Quickstart

from zenpy import Zenpy
from zenpy.lib.api_objects import Ticket
# Create a Zenpy instance
zenpy_client = Zenpy(**credentials)

# Create a new ticket
zenpy_client.tickets.create(Ticket(subject="Important", description="Thing"))

# Perform a simple search
for ticket in zenpy_client.search('PC LOAD LETTER', type='ticket', assignee='facetoe'):
    # No need to mess around with ids, linked objects can be accessed directly.
    print(ticket.requester.name)

    # All objects can be converted to a Python dict.
    print(ticket.to_dict())

    # Or to JSON.
    print(ticket.to_json())

Examples

Searching open and pending tickets for a specific user and sort them by descending
zenpy_client.search(type='ticket', status_less_than='closed', assignee='[email protected]', sort_order='desc')
Searching only opened tickets
zenpy_client.search(type='ticket', status='open')
Exporting all tickets matching the query

By default, Search API has a limit of 1000 results in total. Search Export API allows exporting unlimited number of results, so if you'd like to export all results, use this method instead:

for ticket in zenpy_client.search_export(type='ticket', status='open'):
    print(ticket)

Creating a ticket with a different requester
from zenpy.lib.api_objects import Ticket, User

zenpy_client.tickets.create(
    Ticket(description='Some description',
           requester=User(name='bob', email='[email protected]'))
)
Commenting on a ticket
from zenpy.lib.api_objects import Comment

ticket = zenpy_client.tickets(id=some_ticket_id)
ticket.comment = Comment(body="Important private comment", public=False)
zenpy_client.tickets.update(ticket)
Adding a HTML comment to a ticket
from zenpy.lib.api_objects import Ticket, Comment

zenpy_client.tickets.create(Ticket(
    subject='Html comment example',
    comment=Comment(body='The smoke is very colorful',
                    html_body='<h2>The smoke is <i>very</i> colourful</h2>'))
)
Appending tags to a ticket
from zenpy.lib.api_objects import Ticket

ticket = zenpy_client.tickets(id=some_ticket_id)
ticket.tags.extend(['onetag', 'twotag', 'threetag', 'four'])
zenpy_client.tickets.update(ticket)
Uploading an attachment
from zenpy.lib.api_objects import Comment

# Upload the file (or file-like object) to Zendesk and obtain an Upload instance
upload_instance = zenpy_client.attachments.upload('/tmp/awesome_file.txt')

ticket = zenpy_client.tickets(id=some_ticket_id)
ticket.comment = Comment(body='This comment has my file attached', uploads=[upload_instance.token])
zenpy_client.tickets.update(ticket)
Creating a ticket with a custom field set
from zenpy.lib.api_objects import CustomField, Ticket

ticket_audit = zenpy_client.tickets.create(Ticket(
    subject='Has custom field',
    description="Wow, such field",
    custom_fields=[CustomField(id=43528467, value=1337)]
))
Updating a custom field on a ticket
from zenpy.lib.api_objects import CustomField
ticket = zenpy_client.tickets(id=some_ticket_id)
ticket.custom_fields.append(CustomField(id=43528467, value=1337))
zenpy_client.tickets.update(ticket)
Applying a Macro to a ticket
# Execute the show_macro_effect() method which returns what the macro *would* do.
# The method accepts either Zenpy objects or ids.
macro_result = zenpy_client.tickets.show_macro_effect(ticket_id_or_object, macro_id_or_object)

# Update the ticket to actually change the ticket.
zenpy_client.tickets.update(macro_result.ticket)
Adding a photo to a user
user = zenpy_client.users(id=user_id)
user.remote_photo_url = 'http://domain/example_photo.jpg'
zenpy_client.users.update(user)
List all categories from help center
categories = zenpy_client.help_center.categories()
for category in categories:
    pass

for article in articles:
    pass
List all help center articles in a section
section = zenpy_client.help_center.categories.sections(category_id=category.id)
articles = zenpy_client.help_center.sections.articles(section=section)
for article in articles:
    pass
Create new category in help center
from zenpy import Zenpy
from zenpy.lib.api_objects.help_centre_objects import Category
new_category = zenpy_client.help_center.categories.create(
            Category(
                name="Category name",
                description="Category description",
                locale="en-us",
                created_at=datetime.now(),

        )
print(new_category.to_dict(serialize=True))
Create new section in help center
from zenpy import Zenpy
from zenpy.lib.api_objects.help_centre_objects import Section

                name="Section name",
                description="Section description",
                category_id=new_category.id,

Cloning a webhook
from zenpy.lib.api_objects import Webhook

an_existing_webhook = zenpy_client.webhooks(id=WEBHOOK_ID) 
new_webhook = zenpy_client.webhooks.clone(an_existing_webhook)

# Or just

                    request=dict(
                      endpoint='https://example.org/'
                    )
)

# Sending a test request without creating a webhook
response = zenpy_client.webhooks.test(
                    request=dict(
                        endpoint="https://example.org",
                        request_format="json",

Getting a webhook invocations

API documentation

wh_filters = {
    'filter[from_ts]': '2023-12-04T12:00:00Z',
    'filter[to_ts]': '2023-12-04T16:00:00Z',
    'filter[status]': 'success',
}

for invocations in zenpy.webhooks.invocations(webhook_id, **wh_filters):
    pass
Pagination

Please refer to the official documentation to get details. Also check this article: Which endpoints are supported?

# An old style offset pagination, not recommended. Since August 15, 2023, is limited to 100 pages.
fields = zenpy_client.ticket_fields()
# Or
fields = zenpy_client.ticket_fields(cursor_pagination=False)

# A new cursor offset pagination
fields = zenpy_client.ticket_fields(cursor_pagination=True) # is equal to 100 results per page
# Or
fields = zenpy_client.ticket_fields(cursor_pagination=50) # 50 results per page
