> *"Neither demon nor machine, but something altogether different"* - Ultima III

**Raxodus** - Escape from Rackspace ticket hell. A minimal CLI for managing Rackspace support tickets, built specifically for automation and n8n workflow integration.

## 🎯 Why Raxodus?

The Rackspace ticket API is broken in numerous ways (30+ second response times, inconsistent field names, "demo" endpoints in production). This tool works around those issues to give you reliable ticket access.

## ✨ Features

- **🎫 Read-Only Ticket Access** - List and view Rackspace support tickets
- **📊 Multiple Output Formats** - JSON, table, or CSV output  
- **🚀 Fast & Lightweight** - Minimal dependencies, quick responses (when API allows)
- **🔐 Secure by Design** - No CLI credential flags, environment variables only
- **⏱️ Debug Mode** - Track API performance with timing metadata
- **🔄 n8n Ready** - JSON output perfect for workflow automation
- **🐚 Shell Completions** - Bash, Zsh, and Fish support
- **💾 Smart Caching** - Work around slow API responses
- **🛡️ Type Safe** - Pydantic models handle API inconsistencies

## 📦 Installation

```bash
# Quick run without installation (recommended)
uvx raxodus --version

# Install with pip
pip install raxodus

# Install with uv
uv pip install raxodus
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. Set Credentials

```bash
# Required environment variables
export RACKSPACE_USERNAME="your-username"
export RACKSPACE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export RACKSPACE_ACCOUNT="123456"  # Optional default account
```

⚠️ **Security Note**: Never pass credentials as command-line arguments. This is by design for security.

### 2. Test Authentication

```bash
# Verify your credentials work
raxodus auth test
```

### 3. List Tickets

```bash
# List all tickets (table format)
raxodus tickets list --format table

# List open tickets from last 7 days
raxodus tickets list --status open --days 7

# JSON output for automation
raxodus tickets list --format json

# CSV for spreadsheets
raxodus tickets list --format csv > tickets.csv

# With debug timing info
raxodus tickets list --debug --format json
```

### 4. Get Specific Ticket

```bash
# View single ticket
raxodus tickets get 250625-02866

# As JSON
raxodus tickets get 250625-02866 --format json
```

## 📚 Complete Command Reference

### Main Commands

```bash
raxodus --help                    # Show help
raxodus --version                  # Show version info
```

### Authentication Commands

```bash
# Test credentials
raxodus auth test

# Example output:
# ✓ Authentication successful
# ✓ Token expires: 2025-01-07 15:30:00
```

### Ticket Commands

```bash
# List tickets with ALL options
raxodus tickets list \
    --account 123456 \           # Specific account (overrides env)
    --status open \              # Filter: open, closed, pending
    --days 30 \                  # Tickets from last N days
    --page 1 \                   # Pagination
    --per-page 100 \             # Results per page (max 100)
    --format json \              # Output: json, table, csv
    --debug                      # Include timing metadata

# Get single ticket
raxodus tickets get TICKET-ID \
    --format json \              # Output: json, table
    --debug                      # Include timing metadata
```

```bash
# Install completions for your shell
raxodus completion install

# Or manually add to your shell config
raxodus completion show >> ~/.bashrc     # Bash
raxodus completion show >> ~/.zshrc      # Zsh
```

## 🔧 Configuration

### Environment Variables

```bash

RACKSPACE_API_KEY="your-api-key"        # Your API key

# Optional
RACKSPACE_ACCOUNT="123456"               # Default account number
RACKSPACE_REGION="us"                    # API region (default: us)
RAXODUS_CACHE_DIR="~/.cache/raxodus"    # Cache directory
RAXODUS_CACHE_TTL="300"                 # Cache TTL in seconds
```

## 🤖 n8n Integration

### Execute Command Node

```json
{
  "nodes": [{
    "name": "List Tickets",
    "type": "n8n-nodes-base.executeCommand",
    "parameters": {
      "command": "raxodus tickets list --format json --debug",
      "env": {
        "RACKSPACE_USERNAME": "={{ $credentials.rackspace.username }}",
        "RACKSPACE_API_KEY": "={{ $credentials.rackspace.apiKey }}",
        "RACKSPACE_ACCOUNT": "={{ $credentials.rackspace.account }}"
      }
    }
  }]
}
```

### Process JSON Output

```javascript
// Code node to process tickets
const output = JSON.parse($input.item.json.stdout);
const openTickets = output.tickets.filter(t => t.status === 'open');

// Check performance
if (output.elapsed_seconds > 30) {
  console.warn(`Slow API response: ${output.elapsed_seconds}s`);
}

return openTickets;
```

```

## ⚠️ Known Issues & Workarounds

### Rackspace API Problems

1. **30+ Second Response Times** - Use `--debug` to track performance
2. **Invalid Dates in Responses** - Pydantic models handle gracefully
3. **Inconsistent Field Names** - Abstracted in our models
4. **No Write Access** - API claims to support updates but returns 404

### Workarounds

```bash
# Use debug flag to track slow responses
raxodus tickets list --debug --format json

# Cache results to avoid repeated slow calls
export RAXODUS_CACHE_TTL=600  # 10 minute cache

# Use pagination for large result sets
raxodus tickets list --page 1 --per-page 50
```
