Python bindings for the Intercom API (https://api.intercom.io).
Version 2 of python-intercom is not backwards compatible with previous versions.
One change you will need to make as part of the upgrade is to set Intercom.app_api_key and not set Intercom.api_key.
pip install python-intercom
Intercom.app_id = "my_app_id"
Intercom.app_api_key = "my-super-crazy-api-key"Resources this API supports:
https://api.intercom.io/users
https://api.intercom.io/companies
https://api.intercom.io/tags
https://api.intercom.io/notes
https://api.intercom.io/segments
https://api.intercom.io/events
https://api.intercom.io/conversations
https://api.intercom.io/messages
https://api.intercom.io/counts
https://api.intercom.io/subscriptions
Additionally, the library can handle incoming webhooks from Intercom and convert to intercom models.

)Metadata Objects support a few simple types that Intercom can present on your behalf
Event.create(
event_name="placed-order",
email=current_user.email,
created_at=1403001013
metadata={
"order_date": time.mktime(),
"stripe_invoice": 'inv_3434343434',
"order_number": {
"value": '3434-3434',
"url": 'https://example.org/orders/3434-3434'
},
"price": {
"currency": 'usd',
"amount": 2999
}
}
)The metadata key values in the example are treated as follows-
- order_date: a Date (key ends with '_date').
- stripe_invoice: The identifier of the Stripe invoice (has a 'stripe_invoice' key)
- order_number: a Rich Link (value contains 'url' and 'value' keys)
- price: An Amount in US Dollars (value contains 'amount' and 'currency' keys)
Subscribe to events in Intercom to receive webhooks.
from intercom import Subscription

# Instance of UserNote that models generated from webhook notifications might differ slightly from models directly acquired via the API. If this presents a problem, calling payload.load will load the model from the API using the id field.
You do not need to deal with the HTTP response from an API call directly. If there is an unsuccessful response then an error that is a subclass of intercom.Error will be raised. If desired, you can get at the http_code of an Error via it's http_code method.
The list of different error subclasses are listed below. As they all inherit off IntercomError you can choose to except IntercomError or the more specific error subclass:
AuthenticationError
ServerError
ServiceUnavailableError
ResourceNotFound
BadGatewayError
BadRequestError
RateLimitExceeded
MultipleMatchingUsersError
HttpError
UnexpectedErrorCalling Intercom.rate_limit_details returns a dict that contains details about your app's current rate limit.
