Freshdesk.domain = "replace with your domain"
Freshdesk.user_name_or_api_key = "replace with your api key"
Freshdesk.password_or_x = "X"

# creates a ticket
params = {
  status: 2,
  priority: 1,
  description: "test ticket creation with attachments",
  subject: "new ticket sample #{Time.now}",
  cc_emails: ["[email protected]"],
  email: "[email protected]",
}
Freshdesk::Ticket.create_a_ticket(params: params)

# returns a ticket
res = Freshdesk::Ticket.view_a_ticket(id: 19)
# Freshdesk::Ticket.singleton_methods(false) return RestClient::Response instance
res.class.name
# => RestClient::Response

res.code
# => 200

response_hash = JSON.parse(res.body)
