Want to extract Zendesk data from your Rails application? Here's how to get started.

DOMAIN   = 'your account subdomain'
LOGIN    = 'email address of the user logging in'
PASSWORD = 'and his password'
class ZendeskResource < ActiveResource::Base
  self.site = "http://#{DOMAIN}.zendesk.com"
  def (self.site).user
    LOGIN
  end
  
  def (self.site).password
    PASSWORD
  end    
end

class User < ZendeskResource
end

class Organization < ZendeskResource
end

def users_by_organization
  returning result = {} do
    orgs = Organization.find(:all)
    User.find(:all).group_by(&:organization_id).each do |id, users|
      key = id.nil? ? 'No organization' : orgs.find {|o| o.id == id }.name
      result[key] = users.collect {|u| [u.name, u.email]}
    end
  end  
end

puts users_by_organization.inspect
