Simple python script to pull json out of desk (in this case, just cases)

desk.py

import simplejson as json
import pycurl

# Run pip install pycurl before

url = "https://datadog.desk.com/api/v2/cases"

c = pycurl.Curl()
c.setopt(pycurl.URL, url)
c.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, ["Accept: application/json"])
c.setopt(pycurl.USERPWD, "username:password") 
data = c.perform()
print json.loads(data)
