### Source Authentication and Authorization

Planned:

* [`basic`](https://developer.zendesk.com/api-reference/introduction/security-and-auth/#basic-authentication)
* [`oauth`](https://developer.zendesk.com/api-reference/introduction/security-and-auth/#oauth-access-token)

## Usage

You can easily run `tap-zendesk` by itself or in a pipeline using [Meltano](https://meltano.com/).

### Executing the Tap Directly

```bash
tap-zendesk --version
tap-zendesk --help
tap-zendesk --config CONFIG --discover > ./catalog.json
```

### Selected custom fields

Nested custom fields required the user to declare them in `schema` object of the tap [catalog](https://github.com/singer-io/getting-started/blob/master/docs/DISCOVERY_MODE.md#the-catalog).

Using Meltano, this becomes simple using the [`schema`](https://docs.meltano.com/concepts/plugins#schema-extra) and [`metadata`](https://docs.meltano.com/concepts/plugins/#metadata-extra) extras:

```yaml
# meltano.yml
plugins:
extractors:
- name: tap-zendesk

# Add custom fields to the schema
schema:
users:
user_fields:
type: object
properties:
test_custom_field:
type: [string, "null"]
test_pii_field:
type: [integer, "null"]

# Select the custom fields you want to sync
select:
- users.*
- "users.user_fields"
- "users.user_fields.*"
- "!users.user_fields.test_pii_field"
```

## Developer Resources

### Initialize your Development Environment

```bash
pipx install poetry
poetry install
```

### Create and Run Tests

Create tests within the `tests` subfolder and then run:

```bash
poetry run pytest
```

You can also test the `tap-zendesk` CLI interface directly using `poetry run`:

```bash
poetry run tap-zendesk --help
```

### Testing with [Meltano](https://www.meltano.com)

_**Note:** This tap will work in any Singer environment and does not require Meltano.
Examples here are for convenience and to streamline end-to-end orchestration scenarios._

Next, install Meltano (if you haven't already) and any needed plugins:

```bash
# Install meltano
pipx install meltano
# Initialize meltano within this directory
cd tap-zendesk
meltano install
```

Now you can test and orchestrate using Meltano:

```bash
# Test invocation:
meltano invoke tap-zendesk --version
# OR run a test `elt` pipeline:
meltano elt tap-zendesk target-jsonl
```
