Freshservice data extractor
Import a new customer’s Freshservice data — agents, assets, changes, and locations, and 10 more object types — into your product as normalised, relational tables. Vern handles Freshservice’s auth, pagination and rate limits, so onboarding a customer off Freshservice doesn’t mean building and maintaining that plumbing yourself.

What Vern pulls from Freshservice
Know exactly what comes across before you migrate. Every object below is normalised into typed tables with referential keys preserved, so the relationships between a customer's records survive the import.

- Assets
- Changes
- Locations
- Problems
- Products
- Purchase orders
- Releases
- Requested items
- Requesters

Managed by Vern
The parts you'd otherwise build yourself
Authentication
Your customer pastes their key once when they start the migration. Vern stores it encrypted, signs each request and handles retries — the raw credential never reaches the agent transcript.
Pagination
Vern detects and handles Freshservice's paging model — cursor, page number or offset — internally, and returns one consistent, de-duplicated result set. You import a customer's complete data without ever managing a page token.
Rate limits
API sources rarely publish their real rate ceiling until you hit a 429 mid-import, and many silently cap page size. Vern queues and throttles requests to stay under the limit, so a partial pull never lands a customer in your product with missing data.
Output shape
Normalised JSON per object with referential keys preserved and timestamps in ISO 8601. Delivered as JSON or CSV, pushed to your API or webhook, or loaded straight into your application database.
Schema drift
If Freshservice changes what it returns between migrations, the agent notices the difference against what it recorded last time and raises it, rather than importing a customer with a column quietly missing.
What it learns
Everything Vern works out about Freshservice's quirks — field formats, enum values, ID and date patterns — is written down against the source and applied automatically to every customer you migrate off it afterwards.
What your customer provides
- API Key
- Domain Name
- Start Date
Collected once, stored encrypted in a vault, and attached to every request. Credentials are never written into the agent transcript.
API quickstart
Run a Freshservice migration from your own product
Create the migration, let the agent extract and map, then pull the result out — without your customer ever seeing a Vern dashboard.
