=head1 NAME

API::Zendesk

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Manage Zendesk connection, get tickets etc.  This is a work-in-progress - we have only written
the access methods we have used so far, but as you can see, it is a good template to extend
for all remaining API endpoints.  I'm totally open for any pull requests! :)

This module uses MooseX::Log::Log4perl for logging - be sure to initialize!

=head1 ATTRIBUTES
