Usage

To use Freshdesk.Net you'll need an account on Freshdesk.com. When you create an account you'll get an instance url (typically: http://YOURCOMPANY.freshdesk.com). Each user also has their own API Key. Yours can be found by clicking on your profile image, then Profile Settings and it will be listed on the right hand side of the screen. When you use Freshdesk.Net you'll need your site URL and your API Key. It should be noted that all calls made with this library are made as if they're performed by the user whose API Key is used.

This library makes calls to the Freshdesk REST API. This documentation is helpful debugging your application or determining what values to send for various parameters.

All examples are written as if you've added the following using statement to your file...

using Freshdesk;

Setup

All functions in Freshdesk.Net are made through the instances of the FreshdeskService class. To create an instance of this class you'll need your API Key and your site url.

FreshdeskService freshdeskService = 
		new FreshdeskService(
			"YOUR_API_KEY", 
			new Uri("https://YOURCOMPANY.freshdesk.com"));
