API Client Version

This is the second version of our PHP API client. The previous version of the API client can be found on the v1 branch.

API version support

This client only supports Zendesk's API v2. Please see our API documentation for more information.

Requirements

  • PHP 5.5+

Installation

The Zendesk PHP API client can be installed using Composer.

Composer

Inside of composer.json specify the following:

{
  "require": {
    "net2grid/zendesk_api_client_php": "dev-master"
  }
}

Upgrading from V1 to V2

If you are upgrading from v1 of the client, we've written an upgrade guide to highlight some of the key differences.

Configuration

Configuration is done through an instance of Zendesk\API\HttpClient. The block is mandatory and if not passed, an error will be thrown.

// load Composer
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Zendesk\API\HttpClient as ZendeskAPI;

$subdomain = "subdomain";
$username  = "email@example.com"; // replace this with your registered email
$token     = "6wiIBWbGkBMo1mRDMuVwkw1EPsNkeUj95PIz2akv"; // replace this with your token

$client = new ZendeskAPI($subdomain);
$client->setAuth('basic', ['username' => $username, 'token' => $token]);

Usage

Basic Operations

// Get all tickets
$tickets = $client->tickets()->findAll();
print_r($tickets);

// Create a new ticket
$newTicket = $client->tickets()->create([
    'subject'  => 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog',
    'comment'  => [
        'body' => 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, ' .
                  'sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.'
    ],
    'priority' => 'normal'
]);
print_r($newTicket);

// Update a ticket
$client->tickets()->update(123,[
    'priority' => 'high'
]);

// Delete a ticket
$client->tickets()->delete(123);

Attachments

$attachment = $client->attachments()->upload([
    'file' => getcwd().'/tests/assets/UK.png',
    'type' => 'image/png',
    'name' => 'UK.png' // Optional parameter, will default to filename.ext
]);

Side-loading

Side-loading allows you to retrieve related records as part of a single request. See [the documentation] for more information. (https://developer.zendesk.com/rest_api/docs/core/side_loading).

An example of sideloading with the client is shown below.

$tickets = $client->tickets()->sideload(['users', 'groups'])->findAll();

Pagination

The Zendesk API offers a way to get the next pages for the requests and is documented in the Zendesk Deveoloper Documentation.

The way to do this is to pass it as an option to your request.

$tickets = $this->client->tickets()->findAll(['per_page' => 10, 'page' => 2]);

The allowed options are

  • per_page
  • page
  • sort_order
