Core.cs is less forgiving for parameter 'yourZendeskURL' than ZendeskApi.cs is

[janvanderhaegen]

The ZendeskApi implementation can handle a variety of inputs for 'yourZendeskURL' and will transform the url.
For example, "contoso", "contoso.zendesk.com", "http://contoso.zendesk.com" etc will all work, the input is transformed into "https://contoso.zendesk.com/api/v2/".

However, the Core base class (used as the base class for HelpCenterApi amongst others) is less forgiving, at a first glance it only adds the trailing slash but nothing else.

I am missing what the issue here is. What are you asking to be changed ?

Hey @mozts2005 ,

I looked at the example.cs as documentation on how to use the library

            string userName = "[email protected]"; // the user that will be logging in the API aka the call center staff 
            string userPassword = "&H3n!0q^3OjDLdm";
            string companySubDomain = "csharpapi"; // sub-domain for the account with Zendesk
            int pageSize = 5;
           var api = new ZendeskApi(companySubDomain, userName, userPassword);

However, when one cannot use the HelpCenterApi in the same way...

            string userName = "[email protected]"; // the user that will be logging in the API aka the call center staff 
            string userPassword = "&H3n!0q^3OjDLdm";
            string companySubDomain = "csharpapi"; // sub-domain for the account with Zendesk
            int pageSize = 5;
           var api = new HelpCenterApi(companySubDomain, userName, userPassword, null, null, null);

I'm suggesting to refactor the HelpCenterApi to accept the same values for 'companySubDomain' as the normal ZendeskApi would:

1. "csharpapi", "csharpapi.zendesk.com"
2. "http://csharpapi.zendesk.com"
3. "https://csharpapi.zendesk.com"
4. "https://csharpapi.zendesk.com/api/v2"

Currently, only the 4th option works, which isn't apparent at all.

Ok, Got it. That is not how it should be used at all.
try following this https://github.com/mozts2005/ZendeskApi_v2/blob/master/test/ZendeskApi_v2.Test/HelpCenter/ArticleTests.cs

the only class that you should ever "New" is the ZendeskApi
