Please note that this is NOT an official Intercom SDK. The third party that maintained it reached out to us to note that they were unable to host it any longer. As it was being used by some Intercom customers we offered to host it to allow the current Python community to continue to use it. However, it will not be maintained or updated by Intercom. It is a community maintained SDK. Please see here for the official list of Intercom SDKs
Python bindings for the Intercom API (https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference).
Version 3 of python-intercom is not backwards compatible with previous versions.
Version 3 moves away from a global setup approach to the use of an Intercom Client.
pip install python-intercom
from intercom.client import Client
intercom = Client(personal_access_token='my_personal_access_token')Note that certain resources will require an extended scope access token : Setting up Personal Access Tokens

...You do not need to deal with the HTTP response from an API call
directly. If there is an unsuccessful response then an error that is a
subclass of intercom.Error will be raised. If desired, you can get
at the http_code of an Error via it's http_code method.
The list of different error subclasses are listed below. As they all
inherit off IntercomError you can choose to except IntercomError
or the more specific error subclass:
AuthenticationError
ServerError
ServiceUnavailableError
ServiceConnectionError
ResourceNotFound
BadGatewayError
BadRequestError
RateLimitExceeded
MultipleMatchingUsersError
HttpError
UnexpectedErrorCalling your clients rate_limit_details returns a dict that contains
details about your app's current rate limit.
