PowerShell module that utilises the Freshservice API

I posted this in the Community forum, and @Zach suggested I post it here too…

I’ve started work on a PowerShell module to utilise the Freshservice API to manage tickets. I intend to add more functionality when I can, but at the moment it will work with the APIs concerned with tickets, conversations, requesters, agents, groups, service catalog items, custom objects, locations and departments.

If you’d like to take a look, it’s available on GIthub here: GitHub - LesNewbigging/FreshAPIv2: A PowerShell module containing functions that invoke the Fresh v2 APIs

Feel free to use it and adapt it to your own requirements.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hello Rob

That sounds great!

I concentraed on getting it working with tickets first, adding in requesters, agents, groups, service catalog items and custom objects - but I see you’ve also covered areas I haven’t got to yet!

If you look at mine on Github, I’ve broken down the various modules into their own nested modules:

  • FreshAPI.CustomObjects.psm1
  • FreshAPI.Departments.psm1
  • FreshAPI.Locations.psm1
  • FreshAPI.Requesters.psm1
  • FreshAPI.ServiceCatalog.psm1
  • FreshAPI.Tickets.psm1

These mainly follow Fresh’s API documentation, though the requesters module also includes agents, roles and groups, whilst tickets also includes conversations.

The FreshAPIv2.psm1 module contains functions that make the GET/POST/PUT/DELETE calls to the API, with some error handling (e.g. waiting before resubmitting a 429 request), along with some other supporting functions.

Take a look and let me know what your thoughts are.
