Python bindings for the Intercom API (https://api.intercom.io).
Version 2 of python-intercom is not backwards compatible with previous versions.
One change you will need to make as part of the upgrade is to set Intercom.app_api_key and not set Intercom.api_key.
pip install python-intercom Intercom.app_id="my_app_id"Intercom.app_api_key="my-super-crazy-api-key"Resources this API supports:
https://api.intercom.io/users https://api.intercom.io/companies https://api.intercom.io/tags https://api.intercom.io/notes https://api.intercom.io/segments https://api.intercom.io/events https://api.intercom.io/conversations https://api.intercom.io/messages https://api.intercom.io/counts https://api.intercom.io/subscriptions Additionally, the library can handle incoming webhooks from Intercom and convert to intercom models.

- order_date: a Date (key ends with '_date').
- stripe_invoice: The identifier of the Stripe invoice (has a 'stripe_invoice' key)
- order_number: a Rich Link (value contains 'url' and 'value' keys)
- price: An Amount in US Dollars (value contains 'amount' and 'currency' keys)

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:
AuthenticationErrorServerErrorServiceUnavailableErrorResourceNotFoundBadGatewayErrorBadRequestErrorRateLimitExceededMultipleMatchingUsersErrorHttpErrorUnexpectedErrorCalling Intercom.rate_limit_details returns a dict that contains details about your app's current rate limit.
