You'll need your API Key and the base url of your support portal handy for configuring the SDK. To get your API key, refer the Freshdesk Docs.

var _fd = require('freshdesk')
var Freshdesk = new _fd('http://mydomain.freshdesk.com', 'MyR4nD0MAp1KeY');

Freshdesk.listTickets(function(err, res, body) {
  console.log("The tickets are: ", body);

      // like:
      // 'location_XXXXX': 'Tristan da Cunha'
      // where XXXXX is a (possibly random) ID appended to your custom field
      // This would most probably be different for each portal.

Contributing

If you feel the need to add more functions, just fork this repo, add your functions and submit a PR. Wanna improve docs or the source, or even add tests? You're more than welcome :) This is just a side project I created because I needed it, and the existing node-freshdesk lacked some functions which my project needed.
