-
Install python 3.7.3 (or above) and add python to path
-
To update/upgrade pip type
python -m pip install --upgrade pip- Install the requests package using pip3
pip3 install requests- To run the project, navigate to src directory/your project directory using terminal/command prompt and type this command:
python Zendesk_Challenge_Main.py- Follow the menu prompts.
The code worked without any changes, however, there were type mismatch errors when non-numeric values were entered where numeric input was required. Try-except conditions were used to remove that error.
The program was tested for a test account using both the input methods. However, this program fetches 100 requests per page instead of 25 (as mentioned in the requirements sheet). Therefore, pagination is coded to handle 100 tickets per page instead of 25.
