import java.util.List;

public class TestingAPI {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws ApiException {
  	ApiClient client = ApiClient.getInstance();
    client.setKey("your-api-key-here");

	// Get mailboxes
  	List<String> fields = new ArrayList<String>();
  	fields.add("name");
	fields.add("email");
	fields.add("id");
	Page mailboxes = client.getMailboxes(fields);
	if (mailboxes != null) {
		// do something
		Collection allMailboxes = mailboxes.getItems();

		for (Object mailboxObj : allMailboxes) {
			Mailbox mailbox = (Mailbox) mailboxObj;
			System.out.println("Name: " + mailbox.getName());
			System.out.println("ID: " + mailbox.getId());
		}
	}

	// Get folders
	Mailbox mailbox = client.getMailbox(85);
	if (mailbox != null) {
		String mailboxName = mailbox.getName();
		Page folders = client.getFolders(37803);

		if (folders != null) {
			Collection allFolders = folders.getItems();

			for (Object foldersObj : allFolders) {
				Folder folder = (Folder) foldersObj;
				System.out.println("Name: " + folder.getName());
			}
		}
	}

	// Get customers
	Page allCustomers = client.getCustomers(0);
	Collection customers = allCustomers.getItems();

	for (Object customersObj : customers) {
		Customer customer = (Customer) customersObj;

		System.out.println("Customer Name: " + customer.getFirstName() + " " + customer.getLastName());
		if (customer.hasSocialProfiles()) {
			List profiles = customer.getSocialProfiles();
			// Do something
		}
	}
  }
}

Field Selectors

Field selectors are given as a list of Strings. When field selectors are used, the appropriate object is created with the fields provided.

• getMailbox(Integer mailboxID)

Folders

• getFolders(Integer mailboxID)

Conversations

• getConversationsForFolder(Integer mailboxID, Integer folderID)
• getConversationsForMailbox(Integer mailboxID)
• getConversationsForCustomerByMailbox(Integer mailboxID, Integer customerID)
• getConversation(Integer conversationID)

   String event = webhook.getEventType();

   if (webhook.isConversationEvent()) {
	Conversation convo = webhook.getConversation();
	// do something
   } else if (webhook.isCustomerEvent()) {
	Customer customer = webhook.getCustomer();
	// do something
