EzTDX

What is this?

A Python wrapper for the TeamDynamix Rest APIs. Currently, the wrapper focuses on tickets, time entry, and people/users, but can be, and should be expanded to include Projects, Assets, etc.

How do I use it in my project?

I'm glad you asked. It's meant to be as simple as possible to use and extend. If you follow the code patterns in the EzTDX.py file, you should be able to add new TDX API functionality with ease. To use the library in your project, you need to run pip install EzTDX. Then import it in your application file.

Searching Tickets

from EzTDX import EzTDX

API_URL = 'https://yourcompany.teamdynamix.com'

BEID = <BEID>
WebServicesKey = <Web Services Key>

APP_ID = <Application ID>

if __name__ == '__main__':

    tdx = EzTDX(API_URL, BEID, WebServicesKey, APP_ID)

    tickets = tdx.search_tickets('Directory Update Request', ['New', 'Open', 'Resolved'])

    for ticket in tickets:
        print(f"{ticket['ID']} - {ticket['Title']}")

    ticket = tdx.get_ticket_by_id('10821578')
    print(ticket)

    print(tdx.update_ticket(6564489,'testing 2', 'Resolved', False))

The BEID, Web Services Key, and Application ID should be stored in a secure manner if possible as they allow a lot of access into the TDX environment via the APIs.
