Zenpy

Zenpy is a Python wrapper for the Zendesk API. The goal of the project is to make it possible 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.

The wrapper supports both reading and writing from the API.

Zenpy supports both Python2 and Python3.

Please report bugs!

Quickstart

# Create a Zenpy object
zenpy = Zenpy(**credentials)

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

# Perform a simple search
for ticket in zenpy.search("party", type='ticket', assignee="face"):
    print(ticket)

Examples

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

zenpy.tickets.create(
    Ticket(
        description='Some description',
        requester=User(name='bob', email='bob@example.com')
    )
)
Commenting on a ticket
from zenpy.lib.api_objects import Comment

ticket = zenpy.tickets(id=some_ticket_id)
ticket.comment = Comment(body="Important private comment", public=False)
zenpy.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.attachments.upload('/tmp/awesome_file.txt')

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

ticket_audit = zenpy.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.tickets(id=some_ticket_id)
ticket.custom_fields.append(CustomField(id=43528467, value=1337))
zenpy.tickets.update(ticket)
