Zendesk (Helpdesk) - Nango Docs

🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Zendesk with Nango and see data flow in 2 minutes.

Create an integration

In Nango (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> Zendesk.

Authorize Zendesk

Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then log in to Zendesk. Later, you’ll let your users do the same directly from your app.

Call the Zendesk API

Let’s make your first request to the Zendesk API (fetch a list of tickets). Replace the placeholders below with your secret key, integration ID, and connection ID:

cURL
Node

curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/api/v2/search?query=type:ticket&per_page=10" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"

Install Nango’s backend SDK with npm i @nangohq/node. Then run:

import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

const nango = new Nango({ secretKey: '<NANGO-SECRET-KEY>' });

const res = await nango.get({
    endpoint: '/api/v2/search',
    params: {
      query: 'type:ticket',
      per_page: 10
    },
    providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
    connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
});

console.log(JSON.stringify(res.data, null, 2));

Or fetch credentials dynamically via the Node SDK or API.✅ You’re connected! Check the Logs tab in Nango to inspect requests.
