If you're new to Unstructured, read this note first.
Before you can create a source connector, you must first sign in to your Unstructured account:
* If you do not already have an Unstructured account, [sign up for free](https://unstructured.io/?modal=try-for-free).
After you sign up, you are automatically signed in to your new Unstructured **Let's Go** account, at [https://platform.unstructured.io](https://platform.unstructured.io).
To sign up for a **Business** account instead, [contact Unstructured Sales](https://unstructured.io/?modal=contact-sales), or [learn more](/api-reference/overview#pricing).
* If you already have an Unstructured **Let's Go**, **Pay-As-You-Go**, or **Business SaaS** account and are not already signed in, sign in to your account at
[https://platform.unstructured.io](https://platform.unstructured.io). For other types of **Business** accounts, see your Unstructured account administrator for sign-in instructions,
or email Unstructured Support at [support@unstructured.io](mailto:support@unstructured.io).
After you sign in, the [Unstructured user interface](/ui/overview) (UI) appears, which you use to get your Unstructured API key, as follows:
1. After you sign in to your Unstructured **Let's Go**, **Pay-As-You-Go**, or **Business** account, click **API Keys** on the sidebar.
For a **Business** account, before you click **API Keys**, make sure you have selected the organizational workspace you want to create an API key
for. Each API key works with one and only one organizational workspace. [Learn more](/ui/account/workspaces#create-an-api-key-for-a-workspace).
2. Click **Generate API Key**.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish generating the key.
4. Click the **Copy** icon next to your new key to add the key to your system's clipboard. If you lose this key, simply return and click the **Copy** icon again.
After you create the source connector, add it along with a
[destination connector](/api-reference/workflow/destinations/overview) to a [workflow](/api-reference/workflow/overview#workflows).
Then run the worklow as a [job](/api-reference/workflow/overview#jobs). To learn how, try out the
the notebook [Dropbox-To-Pinecone Connector API Quickstart for Unstructured](https://colab.research.google.com/github/Unstructured-IO/notebooks/blob/main/notebooks/Dropbox_To_Pinecone_Connector_Quickstart.ipynb),
or watch the two 4-minute video tutorials for the [Unstructured Python SDK](/api-reference/workflow/overview#unstructured-python-sdk).
You can also create source connectors with the Unstructured user interface (UI).
[Learn how](/ui/sources/overview).
If you need help, email Unstructured Support at [support@unstructured.io](mailto:support@unstructured.io).
You are now ready to start creating a source connector! Keep reading to learn how.
Ingest your files into Unstructured from Zendesk.
The requirements are as follows.
* A [Zendesk account](https://www.zendesk.com/register/).
* Your [Zendesk subdomain](https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409381383578-Where-can-I-find-my-Zendesk-subdomain), for example, the `` part of `.zendesk.com`.
* The login email address for your Zendesk account.
* An [API token](https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408889192858-Managing-access-to-the-Zendesk-API#topic_tcb_fk1_2yb) (not an OAuth token) for your login email address.
To create a Zendesk source connector, see the following examples.
```python Python SDK theme={null}
import os
from unstructured_client import UnstructuredClient
from unstructured_client.models.operations import CreateSourceRequest
from unstructured_client.models.shared import CreateSourceConnector
with UnstructuredClient(api_key_auth=os.getenv("UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY")) as client:
response = client.sources.create_source(
request=CreateSourceRequest(
create_source_connector=CreateSourceConnector(
name="",
type="zendesk",
config={
"subdomain": "",
"email": "",
"api_token": "",
"item_type": "",
"batch_size":
}
)
)
)
print(response.source_connector_information)
```
```bash curl theme={null}
curl --request 'POST' --location \
"$UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL/sources" \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header "unstructured-api-key: $UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY" \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data \
'{
"name": "",
"type": "zendesk",
"config": {
"subdomain": "",
"email": "",
"api-token": "",
"item-type": "",
"batch-size":
}
}'
```
Replace the preceding placeholders as follows:
* `` (*required*) - A unique name for this connector.
* `` (*required*): The subdomain of your Zendesk site, for example the `` part of `.zendesk.com`.
* `` (*required*): The email address of the user account that has access to the Zendesk subdomain.
* `` (*required*): The API token (not an OAuth token) for the user account. For more information, see [Managing access to the Zendesk API](https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/226022787-Generating-a-new-API-token).
* ``: The type of item to parse. Allowed values include `tickets` and `articles`. If no value is provided, the default is `tickets`.
