Intercom Python SDK

Disclaimer

This is an unofficial Python SDK for interacting with the Intercom API as defined in the Intercom API Reference. This project is in no way associated with Intercom and is provided as-is without warranty. See the LICENSE file for more information.

Usage

Basic

All functionality to the SDK is provided through a single Intercom class which can be imported as follows:

from intercom_python_sdk import Intercom

The most basic way to authenticate with the SDK is to provide an API Key (Private App Key) as follows:

import intercom_python_sdk

intercom = intercom_python_sdk.Intercom(api_key='my_api_key')

You can then access all sub-APIs through this object, like so:

cur_admin = intercom.admins.me()
all_admins = intercom.admins.list_admins()

all_data_events = intercom.data_events.list_all()

Advanced

The Intercom class can support being passed a Configuration object. This class itself will expect you to manually build your Authentication object from the Uplink library, and gives you access to some additional settings.

from uplink.auth import BearerToken
from intercom_python_sdk import Intercom, Configuration

auth = BearerToken('my_api_key')
config = Configuration(
    auth=auth, 
    base_url='https://api.intercom.io',
    api_version="2.9",
    proxy={'https': 'https://127.0.0.1:8080'} # Optional Proxy for Debug-- see requests.Session proxy documentation
)

intercom = Intercom(config=config)

For developers, additional parameters from the underlying library (Uplink) are exposed here as well. See the docstrings for more information.

Using Individual Sub-APIs

You also have the ability to create individual clients for a specific API instead of using the Intercom class. This may be useful if you have different credentials for different APIs, or if you want to use the same credentials but different configurations.

from intercom_python_sdk import Admins, Configuration, create_api_client, API_TAGS

auth = BearerToken('my_api_key')
config = Configuration(auth=auth)
admins = create_api_client(API_TAGS["admin"], config)
