# freshservice-sdk-python

This sdk is an unofficial freshservice API v2 SDK written in Python.

The library is based on the official Freshservice api found [here](https://api.freshservice.com/)

It currently supports the manipulation of resources listed below:

* Tickets
* Changes
* Problems
* Tasks (tickets, changes and problems)
* Many more to come!

## Getting Started

To install the SDK in your project:

```
pip install freshservice-sdk-python
```

You'll also need

* A Freshservice domain name, `your_company.freshservice.com`
* An [API key](https://support.freshservice.com/en/support/solutions/articles/50000000306-where-do-i-find-my-api-key-)

You will need to pre set these two values in your deployment's environment variables before using the library. You can either set it in a bash script or pre code it so that you have it in your environment variable on runtime:

```
os.environ['FRESHSERVICE_API_KEY'] = "XXXXXX"

os.environ['FRESHSERVICE_DOMAIN'] = "your_company.freshservice.com"
```

## Tickets

You can manipulate tickets using the `Ticket` model from the sdk. The `Ticket` model will handle [this](https://api.freshservice.com/#tickets) part of the api in freshservice.

You can import the model as shown below:

```
from freshservice.v2.ticket import Ticket
```

### Creating a ticket

```
from freshservice.v2.ticket import Ticket

ticket = Ticket.create(
	requester_email, 
        subject, 
        description, 
        status: Status, 
        priority: TicketModel.Priority, 
        department_id = None,
        group_id = None,
        category = None,
        sub_category = None,
        item_category = None,
        custom_fields: dict = {}
)
```

### Fetching a ticket

You can fetch a ticket by providing the ticket id when initializing the ticket object as shown below.

This will go and fetch the ticket details.

```
from freshservice.v2.ticket import Ticket

ticket = Ticket(
	id=your_ticket_id
)

```

### Updating a ticket

To update a ticket, you can just update the ticket's attribute and then hit the `update()` on the ticket's object to update it.

```
from freshservice.v2.ticket import Ticket

ticket.subject = "new subject"
ticket.description = "new description"
ticket.update()

```

### Closing a ticket

Closing a ticket works similarly to updating it. You can set all the required attributes of the ticket to match the ticket closure rules and then hit the `close()` function

```
from freshservice.v2.ticket import Ticket

ticket.category = "Other"
ticket.close()
```

## Changes

```
You can manipulate changes using the `Change` model from the sdk. The `Change` model will handle [this](https://api.freshservice.com/#changes) part of the api in freshservice.

You can import the model as shown below:

```

from freshservice.v2.change import Change

### Creating a Change

from freshservice.v2 import Change

```
from freshservice.v2.change import Change

Change.create(
    requester_email: str,
    subject: str,
    description: str,
    department_id, 
    group_id, 
    category,
    sub_category,
    item_category,
    custom_fields,
    planned_start_date: datetime,
    planned_end_date: datetime,
    priority: TicketModel.Priority = TicketModel.Priority.LOW,
    planning_fields = {}
)
```

### Fetching a change

You can fetch a change by providing the change id when initializing the change object as shown below.

This will go and fetch the change details.

```
from freshservice.v2.change import Change

change = Change(
        id=your_change_id
)

```

### Updating a change

To update a change, you can just update the change's attribute and then hit the `update()` on the change's object to update it.

```
from freshservice.v2.change import Change

change.subject = "new subject"
change.description = "new description"
change.update()
```

### Closing a change

Closing a change works similarly to updating it. You can set all the required attributes of the change to match the ticket closure rules and then hit the `close()` function

```
from freshservice.v2.change import Change

change.category = "Other"
change.close()

```

## Problems

You can manipulate problems using the `Problem` model from the sdk. The `Problem` model will handle [this](https://api.freshservice.com/#problems) part of the api in freshservice.

You can import the model as shown below:

```
from freshservice.v2.problem import Problem
```

### Creating a problem

```
from freshservice.v2.problem import Problem

problem = Problem.create(
	requester_email, 
        subject, 
        description, 
        status: Status, 
        priority: TicketModel.Priority, 
        department_id = None,
        group_id = None,
        category = None,
        sub_category = None,
        item_category = None,
        custom_fields: dict = {}
)
```

### Fetching a problem

You can fetch a problem by providing the problem id when initializing the problem object as shown below.

This will go and fetch the problem details.

```
from freshservice.v2.problem import Problem

problem = Problem(
	id=your_problem_id
)

```
### Updating a problem

To update a problem, you can just update the problem's attribute and then hit the `update()` on the problem's object to update it.

```
from freshservice.v2.problem import Problem

problem.subject = "new subject"
problem.description = "new description"
problem.update()

```
### Closing a problem

Closing a problem works similarly to updating it. You can set all the required attributes of the problem to match the problem closure rules and then hit the `close()` function

```
from freshservice.v2.problem import Problem

problem.category = "Other"
problem.close()
```

## Tasks

You can manipulate tasks as well for tickets, changes and problems.

To get all tasks for a specific ticket, use the `get_tasks()` from the ticket object and this will return a list of
`Task`s objects to manipulate

Below is an example with ticket (This works the same for change and problems as well)

```
from freshservice.v2.ticket import Ticket

ticket = Ticket(id=3)

tasks = ticket.get_tasks()
```

### Creating a task

```
from freshservice.v2.models.task import Task

task = Task.create(
    url,
    ticket_id,
    agent_id,
    title,
    description,
    group_id,
    notify_before = 0,
    status = Status.OPEN,
    due_date = None,
) 
```

### Updating a task

To update a task, you can just update the task's attribute and then hit the `update()` on the task's object to update it.

```
task.title = "new title"
task.description = "new description"
task.update()

```
### Closing a task

Closing a task works similarly to updating it. You can set all the required attributes of the task to match the problem task rules and then hit the `close()` function

```
task.close()
```

## Building the SDK

In most cases, you won't need to build the SDK from source. If you want to build it yourself, you'll need these preequisites:

* Clone the repo
* Run `python setup.py build` from the root of the project (assuming Python is installed)
