API Objects

The Zenpy API objects are automatically generated using the script gen_classes.py in the tools directory based on the specification found in the specification directory. The generated Python objects are a one to one mapping with the API, so any attribute returned by the API should be present in the Python object.

Instantiating Objects

When creating objects, any keyword argument can be passed to the constructor and it will become an attribute of that object. For example the code:

user = User(name='Jim', email='jim@jim.com')

Will create a User object with the name and email fields set.

Object Properties

Many attributes are implemented as properties. Any attribute that holds an id is also implemented as a property which returns the object associated with that id. For example, the Ticket object has two related attributes: assignee and assignee_id. When the assignee attribute is accessed, Zenpy first attempts to locate the related User in the User cache and if it cannot be found will generate and execute an API call to retrieve, instantiate, cache and return the object. Accessing the assignee_id attribute simply returns the id.

The following attributes are also implemented as properties:

Attribute Type

Returns

dict

object the dict represents

date string

Python datetime object

list of id’s

List of objects

It is important to note that most property setters throw away all information except for the id. This is because Zendesk only expects the id, so any modifications made to the object will not be persisted automatically.

For example, the following Ticket:

ticket = Ticket(subject='stuffs', description='stuff stuff stuff')
user = User(id=10, name='Jim', email='jim@jim.com')
ticket.assignee = user

Will be serialized as:

{
    "description": "stuff stuff stuff",
    "assignee_id": 10,
    "subject": "stuffs"
}

Object Serialization

Before API objects are sent to Zendesk (eg for creation/updates), they are serialized into JSON once again. This is done recursively and any nested objects will be serialized as well. One handy side effect of how this is done is it is possible to set any arbitrary attribute on an API object and it will be serialized and sent to Zendesk.

For example the object:

user = User(name='Jim', email='jim@jim.com')
user.some_thing = 100

Will be serialized as:

{
    "email": "jim@jim.com",
    "some_thing": 100,
    "name": "Jim"
}

A more useful example might be adding a comment to a ticket. Usually the Ticket object does not have a comment attribute, however if we add one it will be correctly serialized, sent to Zendesk and added to the specified ticket.

For example, after adding the comment attribute containing a Comment object:

ticket.comment = Comment(body="I am a private comment", public=False)

the serialized ticket will include the additional information:

{
    "description": "I am a test ticket",
    "subject": "Testing",

    ...snip...
    "comment": {
    "public": false,
    "body": "I am a private comment"
    }
}

Api Object Modifications

When updating an object, only the id and those attributes that have been modified will be sent to Zendesk. For example, the following code will only print the user’s id.

user = zenpy_client.users.me()
print(user.to_dict(serialize=True))

Whereas the following will also include the name attribute, as it has been modified:

user = zenpy_client.users.me()
user.name = "Batman"
print(user.to_dict(serialize=True))

This is also true of attributes of objects that are lists or dicts, however the implementation might lead to some surprises. Consider the following:

ticket = zenpy_client.tickets(id=1)
ticket.custom_fields[0]['value'] = 'I am modified'
print(ticket.to_dict(serialize=True))

Here we modify the first element of the custom_fields list. How can Zenpy know that this has happened? The answer is proxy objects:

print(type(ticket.custom_fields))
>> <class 'zenpy.lib.proxy.ProxyList'>

print(type(ticket.custom_fields[0]))
>> <class 'zenpy.lib.proxy.ProxyDict'>

The way this works is when an element is retrieved from a list, it checks whether or not it is a list or dict. If it is, then the list or dict is wrapped in a Proxy class which executes a callback on modification so that the parent knows it has been modified. As a result, we can detect changes to lists or dicts and properly update Zendesk when they occur.
