API Reference

Introduction

The Freshservice API

Freshservice is a cloud-based IT Service Management solution that was designed using ITIL best practices. Freshservice helps IT organizations streamline their service delivery processes with a strong focus on user experience and employee happiness.

Freshservice's APIs belong to the Representational State Transfer (REST) category. They allow you to perform 'RESTful' operations such as reading, modifying, adding or deleting data from your service desk. The APIs also support Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).

Note: This documentation is for the v2.0 of the APIs. Documentation for the v1.0 APIs can be found here.

What API commands are used by Freshservice?

Freshservice APIs are plain JSON over HTTP and use the following HTTP verbs:

COMMAND PURPOSE
POST Create an object
GET Fetch one or more objects
PUT Update an object / Restore an object
DELETE Remove an object

Note: All API requests should hit the secured endpoint i.e. only HTTPS

What's New?

Version 2 of the API brings several new features as well as changes to the previous APIs. This section highlights some of the new features introduced in v2.

  1. Higher rate limits as a result of significant performance enhancements
  2. Improved error handling - errors will return appropriate HTTP status codes and an error body
  3. New APIs that enable you to Reply to a ticket and enhancements to existing APIs that enable you to Update a ticket's description, Update a ticket's notes, and Retrieve a list of tickets that have been recently modified
  4. Only JSON is supported in V2
  5. Only SSL calls (HTTPS) will be allowed
  6. Works only via Freshservice domains and not via custom CNAMEs
  7. Support for page sizes up to 100 has been added

Rate limit

Freshservice accounts created on or after 01-Sep-2020 will use minute-level rate limiting. The limits vary based on the Freshservice plan. Certain API operations also have sublimits within the overall limit. This limit is applied on an account wide basis irrespective of factors such as the number of agents or IP addresses used to make the calls.

Action Rate Limit/Min
Blossom Garden Estate Forest
Overall Limit 100 200 400 500
Sub Limits
List All Tickets 40 70 120 140
View Ticket 50 80 140 160
Create Ticket 50 80 140 160
Update Ticket 50 80 140 160
List All Assets 40 70 120 140
Update Asset 50 80 140 160
List All Agents 40 70 120 140
List All Requesters 40 70 120 140

Accounts created before 01-Sep-2020 will eventually be migrated to minute-level rate limiting. The previous limits would continue to apply until the migration is completed.

PLAN RATE LIMIT/HR
Blossom 1000
Garden 2500
Estate 5000
Forest 7500

Note:
1. Please follow the best practices to stay under the rate limit.
2. If you need more than the default limit, please contact us.
3. Even invalid requests will count towards the rate limit.
4. Embedding additional resources will consume 1 credit if performed from a SHOW action, and 3 credits if performed from a LIST action.
5. Some custom apps (freshplugs) consume API calls which also count towards the rate limit.

You can check your current rate limit status by looking at the following HTTP headers which are returned in response to every API request.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
X-Ratelimit-Total: 3000
X-Ratelimit-Remaining: 998
X-Ratelimit-Used-CurrentRequest: 1
X-Freshservice-Api-Version: latest=v2; requested=v2

HEADER NAME DESCRIPTION
X-RateLimit-Total Total number of API calls allowed per hour.
X-RateLimit-Remaining The number of requests remaining in the current rate limit window.
X-RateLimit-Used-CurrentRequest The number of API calls consumed by the current request. Most API requests consume one call, however, including additional information in the response will consume more calls.
Retry-After The number in seconds that you will have to wait to fire your next API request. This header will be returned only when the rate limit has been reached.

If your API request is received after the rate limit has been reached, Freshservice will return an error in the response. The Retry-After value in the response header will tell you how long you need to wait before you can send another API request.

HTTP/1.1 429
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Retry-After: 1521

Policies

Freshservice APIs are classified into either production or beta APIs. A production API is one that has been made available for public use and is stable. A beta API is one that is still in development or is for internal or limited use and whose stability cannot be guaranteed. Beta APIs may be removed or modified at any time without advance notice. Please note that the following policies apply to production APIs only.

Deprecation Policy

The scope of the V2 API is currently limited to only tickets and conversations. Once all modules are made available through the API, API V1 would be deprecated after a given notice period.

Breaking Change Policy

Changes that do not break an API, such as adding a new attribute can be made at any time. Changes that break a production level API such as removing attributes or making major changes to the API’s behavior will only be done with an advance notice of 60 days. However, there may be rare occasions where due to legal, performance, or security reasons, we are forced to make breaking changes without advance notice.

Changelog

Sept 2017
  • Initial version - V2 APIs for tickets and conversations

Authentication

How does it work? Who can access my helpdesk? Can everybody see my data?

Before you can set the priority of a ticket or change a customer's name or use any of the APIs listed above, you need to "authenticate your ID" or "log in" in the same way you log in to your helpdesk's web portal.

You can use your personal API key to authenticate the request. If you use the API key, there is no need for a password. You can use any set of characters as a dummy password.

curl -v -u apikey:X -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET 'https://domain.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets'

For example, if your API key is abcdefghij1234567890, the curl command to use is:

curl -v -u abcdefghij1234567890:X -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET 'https://domain.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets'

Where can I find my API key?

  1. Login to your Support Portal
  2. Click on your profile picture on the top right corner of your portal
  3. Go to Profile settings Page
  4. Your API key will be available below the change password section to your right

Freshservice also uses Basic Access Authorization. This means that for authentication, you can use the same username and password that you use when you log in to your helpdesk.

curl -v -u user@yourcompany.com:test -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X 'GET https://domain.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets'

Note:
If you are sure that your password and username are correct, but are still unable to access your helpdesk, make sure that your "username:password" (or "APIkey:X") is Base64-encoded before passing it as an "Authorization" header.

What are the resources available via the API?

Every single piece of information - be it a customer's ID or the priority of a specific ticket - can be identified by its own unique identifier or "URI". If you want your data from the helpdesk, whether via your smartphone app or via a third party service, you need this identifier. All URIs follow a specific format and that format is:

https://your_helpdesk_domain_name/api/v2/resource_name

For example, if you are the admin of the Freshservice portal "acmeinc.freshservice.com", then to access the tickets in your helpdesk, the syntax would be

https://acmeinc.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets

Note: We have shortened API resource URLs throughout this document by omitting the domain name. For example, /api/v2/tickets is actually https://domain.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets

Will everyone have the same access rights?

No, everyone will not have the same access rights. Your ability to access data depends on the permissions available for your freshservice profile. If your freshservice Agent Role is "Newbie Agent" who is not allowed to answer to tickets, but is only allowed to view them, then the APIs will restrict you from answering and you'll only be able to view the tickets.

Schema

Blank Fields:

Blank fields are included as null instead of being omitted.

Timestamps:

All timestamps are returned in the UTC format, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ. ( Example : 2016-02-13T23:27:49Z )

Date Fields:

Input for date fields is expected to be in one of the following formats:

YYYY-MM-DD
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MMZ
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS±hh:mm
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS±hh
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS±hhmm

If the time zone information is not present, it will be assumed to be in UTC.
( some valid datefields : 2016-02-15T21:16:25Z, 2012-12-24T12:56:15+05:30, 2010-03-23T12:00 )
For more details on date format : ISO 8601

Location Header:

POST requests will contain the Location Header in the response that points to the URL of the created resource.

Response
HTTP STATUS: HTTP 201 Created
Headers:
"Location": https://domain.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets/1

Embedding

Our previous version of APIs returned a large number of fields by default. In order to increase performance and reduce data usage, we have removed several of these fields in our v2.0 APIs. For example, when you view a ticket, we no longer return the requester's name or the company name. However, there may be situations where these fields are required and hence, we have included a mechanism to embed additional resources into an API call in order to minimise the number of required API calls.

Note: Embedding resources into an API that returns a single object will consume an additional API call credit per embedded resource while embedding into APIs that return a collection of objects will consume two additional credits.

You can request for additional resources using the "include" keyword. For example you can embed the requester's details within the ticket view API by using the following command

Request 
1
curl -v -u 'abcdefgh12345678:X' -X GET 'https://domain.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets/20?include=requester'

Attachments

Attachments are supported for the following endpoints

Please follow the guidelines listed below

  • Only files on your local machine can be attached using API.
  • The Content-Type should always be multipart/form-data for create/update requests with attachments.
  • The name of the file is preserved after it is attached i.e the filename sent in the response will be the same as the one in the request.

Errors

I have encountered an error. How do I debug it?

API requests that result in errors will return an appropriate HTTP status code to help you identify the type of error. You can use the table below to understand what each code means.

HTTP STATUS CODE TEXT DESCRIPTION
400 Client or Validation Error The request body/query string is not in the correct format. For example, the Create a ticket API requires the requester_id field to be sent as part of the request and if it is missing, this status code is returned.
401 Authentication Failure Indicates that the Authorization header is either missing or incorrect. You can learn more about the Authorization header here.
403 Access Denied This indicates that the agent whose credentials were used for making this request was not authorized to perform this API call. It could be that this API call requires admin level credentials or perhaps the Freshservice portal doesn't have the corresponding feature enabled. It could also indicate that the user has reached the maximum number of failed login attempts or that the account has reached the maximum number of agents.
404 Requested Resource not Found This status code is returned when the request contains invalid ID/Freshservice domain in the URL or an invalid URL itself. For example, an API call to retrieve a ticket with an invalid ID will return an HTTP 404 status code to let you know that no such ticket exists.
405 Method not allowed This API request used the wrong HTTP verb/method. For example an API PUT request on /api/v2/tickets endpoint will return an HTTP 405 as /api/v2/tickets allows only GET and POST requests.
406 Unsupported Accept Header Only application/json and */* are supported.
When uploading files multipart/form-data is supported.
409 Inconsistent/Conflicting State The resource that is being created/updated is in an inconsistent or conflicting state.
415 Unsupported Content-type Content type application/xml is not supported. Only application/json is supported.
429 Rate Limit Exceeded The API rate limit allotted for your Freshservice domain has been exhausted.
500 Unexpected Server Error You can't do much here. This indicates an error at Freshservice's side. Please email us your script which invokes our API, along with the response headers. We will work with you to fix the issue.

Error Response

In addition to the HTTP status code, most errors will also return a response body that contains more information to help you debug the error. A sample error response is shown below. The format of the error response body is explained after the example.

Error Response Fields

FIELD DESCRIPTION
field The request field that triggered this error. Applicable to HTTP 400 errors only.
message Detailed error message.
code Custom error code that is machine-parseable.

Error Codes

In addition to the the error message, the error response will also contain an error code that is machine-parseable. The following table lists the error codes and their descriptions.

CODE DESCRIPTION
missing_field A mandatory attribute is missing. For example, calling Create a Ticket without the mandatory description in the request will result in this error.
invalid_value This code indicates that a request contained an incorrect or blank value, or was in an invalid format.
duplicate_value Indicates that this value already exists.
datatype_mismatch Indicates that the field value doesn't match the expected data type. For instance, entering text in a numerical field would trigger this error.
invalid_field An unexpected field was part of the request. If any additional field is included in the request payload (other than what is specified in the API documentation), this error will occur.
invalid_json Request parameter is not a valid JSON. We recommend that you validate the JSON payload with a JSON validator before firing the API request.
invalid_credentials Incorrect or missing API credentials. As the name suggests, it indicates that the API request was made with invalid credentials. Forgetting to apply Base64 encoding on the API key is a common cause of this error.
access_denied Insufficient privileges to perform this action. An agent attempting to access admin APIs will result in this error.
require_feature Not allowed since a specific feature has to be enabled in your Freshservice portal for you to perform this action.
account_suspended Account has been suspended.
ssl_required HTTPS is required in the API URL.
readonly_field Read only field cannot be altered.
password_lockout The agent has reached the maximum number of failed login attempts.
password_expired The agent's password has expired.
no_content_required No JSON data required.
inaccessible_field The agent is not authorized to update this field.
incompatible_field The field cannot be updated due to the current state of the record.

Best Practices

Rate Limit

  • Whenever possible, please queue API calls at your end. This ensures that you can buffer calls on your end to avoid hitting the rate limit and retry API calls when you hit the rate limit after the retry-after time.
  • Cache non-volatile data on your end whenever it is feasible. For e.g. the mapping between agent name and ID is extremely unlikely to change. Hence, by caching it on the client side, you will be able to avoid API calls.
  • As soon as you recognise that a rate limit increase will be required in the future, contact us. This will make it possible for us to ensure that we are prepared to increase the limit as and when needed.

Others

  • Avoid making API calls directly from a mobile app. Instead, send the request to your servers and make the API calls from there. This ensures that in the event of an API endpoint being modified, you will be able to make and deploy the change to your server rather than updating your app and forcing your users to the latest version.
  • Always use HTTP connection/multiplexing when making the API request. This will save some time while opening TCP connection to Freshservice.
  • When retrieving a list of objects, avoid making calls referencing page numbers over 500 (deep pagination). These are performance intensive calls and you may suffer from extremely long response times.

Create Ticket with assets

Note:
1. assets" key: contains comma (,) separated hash of the assets, each with key display id.
2. When "assets" is included as request parameter in PUT or POST request, the associated assets are returned implicitly in the response.
3. The existing request format to link a single asset ("associate_ci" : { "serial_no " : 123, "name " : "Andrea's Laptop " , "user ": "Andrea "}) will be deprecated soon.
4. If both "assets" and "associate_ci" keys are given in the request, assets key would be considered preferably and associate_ci would be ignored.

Sample code | Curl 
1
curl -v -u user@yourcompany.com:test -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "description": "Create ticket with assets linked", "status": 2, "email": "sample@freshservice.com", "priority": 1, "subject": "Create ticket with  assets linked", "assets": [{ "display_id": 8 }, { "display_id": 9 }]}' -X POST 'https://domain.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets'

List All Tickets

Use filters to view only specific tickets (those which match the criteria that you choose). By default only tickets that have not been deleted or marked as spam will be returned, unless you use the 'deleted' filter.

Note:
1. By default only tickets that have been created within the past 30 days will be returned. For older tickets, use the updated_since filter.
2. Use 'include' to embed additional details in the response. Each include will consume an additional 2 credits. For example if you embed the stats information you will be charged a total of 3 API credits (1 credit for the API call, and 2 credits for the additional stats embedding).

Filter by Handle
Predefined filters /api/v2/tickets?filter=[filter_name]
The filters available are new_and_my_open, watching, spam, deleted.
Requester /api/v2/tickets?requester_id=[id]
/api/v2/tickets?email=[requester_email]

/api/v2/tickets?email=superman@freshservice.com
/api/v2/tickets?email=bat%2Bman%40gmail.com (URL encoded bat+man@gmail.com)
Updated since /api/v2/tickets?updated_since=2015-01-19T02:00:00Z

Update Ticket with assets

Note:
1. Existing assets, if they are different from what are given in request, are destroyed and the current ones are linked to the ticket. So, all the assets that need to stay associated with the Ticket need to be provided in the PUT/POST calls
2. "assets" key: contains comma (,) separated hash of the assets, each with key display id.
3. When "assets" is included as request parameter in PUT or POST request, the associated assets are returned implicitly in the response.
4. The existing request format to link a single asset ("associate_ci" : { "serial_no " : 123, "name " : "Andrea's Laptop " , "user ": "Andrea "}) will be deprecated soon.
5. If both "assets" and "associate_ci" keys are given in the request, assets key would be considered preferably and associate_ci would be ignored.

Sample code | Curl 
1
curl -v -u user@yourcompany.com:test -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{ "description": "Update ticket with assets", "status": 2, "email": "sample@freshservice.com", "priority": 1, "subject": "Update ticket with  assets", "assets": [  { "display_id": 7 }, { "display_id": 8 }]}' 'https://domain.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets/1'
