Return Count of Zendesk Ticket View

zdviewcount.py

import requests
from base64 import b64encode

ZENDESK_SUBDOMAIN = 'YOUR_SUBDOMAIN'
ZENDESK_VIEW_ID = 'YOUR_ZENDESK_VIEW_ID'
ZENDESK_EMAIL = 'YOUR_ZENDESK_EMAIL'
ZENDESK_API_TOKEN = 'YOUR_ZENDESK_API_TOKEN'

url = f'https://{ZENDESK_SUBDOMAIN}.zendesk.com/api/v2/views/{ZENDESK_VIEW_ID}/count.json'
auth = f'{ZENDESK_EMAIL}/token:{ZENDESK_API_TOKEN}'
auth_encoded = b64encode(bytes(auth, 'utf-8')).decode('ascii')

headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': f'Basic {auth_encoded}'
        }

data = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json()
view_count = data['view_count']['value']

output = {'view_count': view_count}
