All HappyFox help-desk instances are shipped with a RESTful web service API that enables various operations, including ticket creation, ticket update submission, ticket and user listing. This API supports payload formats such as JSON and multipart/form-data.

 

Requirements:

 

• Making HTTP requests (using GET and POST HTTP methods as a minimum requirement).
• Doing HTTP Basic Authentication.
• Generating and reading data in the JSON format.
• Optionally making HTTP POST requests using content type of "multipart/form-data" (needed for ticket attachments)

Documentation Conventions:

The documentation indicates parameters that need to be replaced with actual values. The entire string including the enclosing < and > should be replaced. For example, if the parameter is email, it should be replaced with the required email address

 

Endpoint url format: /api/1.1/json/<module>/

The above tail url has to be prefixed with your HappyFox account url as shown below

 

Eg. https://customersuppport.happyfox.com/api/1.1/json/<module>/

 

All HTTP POST API calls are to be explicitly marked as https. Else, it would be considered as GET only.

Note: If you are using a custom domain, please use the custom domain url only.

API key and auth code are to be passed in Basic HTTP authentication format only. 

Ensure the IDs of the custom fields in POST calls are as per /api/1.1/json/ticket_custom_fields/ and /api/1.1/json/user_custom_fields/ and not as per the agent portal.

 

<module> - refers the module that is being accessed viz., /tickets/, /users/ etc,

 

A full constructed example url is shown below.

https://customersuppport.happyfox.com/api/1.1/json/tickets/

Filter by custom fields

We can search for tickets by contact and ticket custom fields

Format of specifying custom fields in search

 

• If the custom field name has only one word <name of the field>: “value” - do not enclose the field name in quotes
• If the custom field name has multiple words “<name of the field>”:”value” - enclose the field name in quotes “field_name”:”value”
• Custom field name and value should be enclosed in quotes separately.
• Name and value should be separated by a colon (:)
• No space after the colon separator
• Field names and values are not case sensitive
• Multiple fields should be separated by space
• For dropdown and multiple choice fields, the values are the option labels
• For multiple choice fields - each option is given in quotes and the options are separated by commas

 

Examples:

• text field: /tickets/?status=_all&q="Enterprise Company Name":"enterprise company"

• dropdown: /tickets/?status=_all&q="Team Name":"arsenal"

• multiple choice: /tickets/?status=_all&q="Country":"finland","germany"

• date field: /tickets/?status=_all&q="Date Field":"08/23/2019"

• number field: /tickets/?status=_all&q="Number Field":"300"

• multiple fields: /tickets/?status=_all&q=Field1:"value1" "Field2":"value 2"

• Filtering with contact and custom fields:  /tickets/?status=_all&q=contact:"james@happyfox.com" "Product Name":"Helpdesk"

• To combine multiple search items for system fields, please build the search query by concatenating each search item with a + 
  
  Eg. Search for status In Progress and New, along with tickets that contain that contain tag routine_checks 
  
  To search statuses, the query string would be,
                     /tickets/?status=_all&q=status:"In+Progress","New"
  
  To search with tags, the query string would be,
                    /tickets/?status=_all&q=tag:"routine_checks"
  
  To combining the two,
                    /tickets/?status=_all&q=tag:"routine_checks"+status:"In+Progress","New"

Sorting list of tickets

• Default sorting - last updated based on contact/agent reply in descending order.
• If we search tickets, the sort order is always by relevance and last updated descending.

Other sort options

• categorya - sort by category ascending
• categoryd - sort by category descending

3. Ticket detail page

Endpoint - /api/1.1/json/ticket/<ticket_number>/

Note: Ticket ID is a unique identifier for each ticket. It is a combination of category prefix and ticket number. Eg. #HFS00000001. Here 1 is the ticket number and HFS is the category prefix. Ticket number and ticket ID can be obtained from the /tickets/ endpoint from the id and display_id attributes in each item of the data JSON array.
