BOSSDesk API Integration

This script provides a simple integration with the BOSSDesk API, specifically targeting the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) endpoint to fetch and count available laptops.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• requests library: For making HTTP requests.
• python-dotenv library: For loading environment variables from a .env file.

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

git clone [URL of your repo]

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd [project-directory]

3. Install the required packages:

pip install requests python-dotenv

Usage

1. Ensure that you have set up your .env file as described in the Configuration section.
2. Run the script:

python [script-name].py

The script will output the number of available laptops based on the API's response.

Configuration

Configuration is managed through a .env file. Create a .env file in the root directory of the project and specify the required environment variables:

BOSSDESK_API_TOKEN=your_token
API_ENDPOINT=https://mycompany.bossdesk.io/api/v1/cmdb

• BOSSDESK_API_TOKEN: Your BOSSDesk API token for authentication
• API_ENDPOINT: The endpoint URL of the BOSSDesk API you are targeting.

Note: Ensure that you never commit the .env file to the version control to keep sensitive data secure
