# API Token and Session for REST API
api_token = 'your_api_token'
rest_session = APISession(api_token)

# Routing Key and Session for Events API
routing_key = 'your_routing_key'
events_session = pdpyras.EventsAPISession(routing_key)

# Trigger Event with Events API. Get dedup_key
dedup_key = events_session.trigger("Server is on fire", 'dusty.old.server.net')
print(dedup_key)

# Pause for 3 seconds, because it makes a bit of time for the data in both APIs to sync
time.sleep(3)

# Use dedup_key to get incident from REST API by passing it as the value of the incident_key param
response = rest_session.get('incidents', params={'incident_key': dedup_key})

# Parse response from REST API and retrieve the values of the incident by name, such as 'incident_number', etc
incidents = response.json()['incidents']
print(incidents[0]['incident_number'])
print(incidents[0]['id'])
