To do so, pass a function to thesubscribe_to_request_hookorsubscribe_to_response_hookmethods of anEasyPostClientobject:defcustom_function(**kwargs):"""Pass your code here, data about the request/response is contained within `kwargs`."""print(f"Received a request with the status code of:{kwargs.get('http_status')}")client=easypost.EasyPostClient(os.getenv('EASYPOST_API_KEY'))client.subscribe_to_response_hook(custom_function)# Make your API calls here, your custom_function will trigger once a response is receivedYou can also unsubscribe your functions in a similar manner by using theunsubscribe_from_request_hookandunsubscribe_from_response_hookmethods of a client object.DocumentationAPI documentation can be found at:https://easypost.com/docs/api.Library documentation can be found on the web at:https://easypost.github.io/easypost-python/or by building them locally via themake docscommand.Upgrading major versions of this project? Refer to theUpgrade Guide.SupportNew features and bug fixes are released on the latest major release of this library. If you are on an older major release of this library, we recommend upgrading to the most recent release to take advantage of new features, bug fixes, and security patches. Older versions of this library will continue to work and be available as long as the API version they are tied to remains active; however, they will not receive updates and are considered EOL.For additional support, see ourorg-wide support policy.Development# Install dependenciesmakeinstall# Lint projectmakelint

This project usesVCRto record and replay HTTP requests and responses via "cassettes". When the suite is run, the HTTP requests and responses for each test function will be saved to a cassette if they do not exist already and replayed from this saved file if they do, which saves the need to make live API calls on every test run. If you receive errors about a cassette expiring, delete and re-record the cassette to ensure the data is up-to-date.Sensitive Data:We've made every attempt to include scrubbers for sensitive data when recording cassettes so that PII or sensitive info does not persist in version control; however, please ensure when recording or re-recording cassettes that prior to committing your changes, no PII or sensitive information gets persisted by inspecting the cassette.Making Changes:If you make an addition to this project, the request/response will get recorded automatically for you if the@pytest.mark.vcr()decorator is included on the test function. When making changes to this project, you'll need to re-record the associated cassette to force a new live API call for that test which will then record the request/response used on the next run.Test Data:The test suite has been populated with various helpful fixtures that are available for use, each completely independent from a particular userwith the exception of the USPS carrier account ID(seeUnit Test API Keysfor more information) which has a fallback value of our internal testing user's ID. Some fixtures use hard-coded dates that may need to be incremented if cassettes get re-recorded (such as reports or pickups).Unit Test API KeysThe following are required on every test run:EASYPOST_TEST_API_KEYEASYPOST_PROD_API_KEYSome tests may require an EasyPost user with a particular set of enabled features such as aPartneruser when creating referrals. We have attempted to call out these functions in their respective docstrings. The following are required when you need to re-record cassettes for applicable tests:USPS_CARRIER_ACCOUNT_ID(eg: one-call buying a shipment for non-EasyPost employees)PARTNER_USER_PROD_API_KEY(eg: creating a referral user)REFERRAL_CUSTOMER_PROD_API_KEY(eg: adding a credit card to a referral user)Google Cloud SDKTo run the test suite with the Google Cloud SDK (urlfetchinstead of therequestslibrary), you'll need the following:Install the appengine Python package to this virtual environment:venv/bin/pip install appengine-python-standardInstall the Google Cloud SDKDirect DownloadHomebrewPoint thePYTHONPATHenvironment variable to the path of the newly installedgoogle-cloud-sdkdirectory.
