Takes the Letter Id:

GetPDF(self, RequestId)

Takes a List of Letter Ids:

GetLetterStatus(self, RequestIds)

Takes the Letter Id:    

GetLetterDetails(self, RequestId)

CancelDelivery(self, RequestId)

<b>Response:</b>
The response object contains three properties
<ol>
<li>status</li>
<li>errorMessage</li>
<li>result</li>
</ol>

The status gives you the status code of the request.

The errorMessage will give the error message if the status is not 200

the result will contain the response result. 

You can find the result type of each API by looking at the example response result field in the documentation here:

https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/10877655/TVKD3dba

<b>Implementation</b>:
Initialize the PMAPI Class with your API key.
Call functions with their respective params.

<b>Example is given below:</b>

<b>Initialization:</b>

    testReq = PMAPI('api-key')

<b>Status:</b>

    Ids = [1,2,3]

    response = testReq.GetLetterStatus(Ids)


<b>Detail:</b>

    Id = 1

    response = testReq.GetLetterDetails(Id)


<b>Cancel:</b>

    Id = 1

    response = testReq.CancelDelivery(Id)


<b>PDF:</b>

    Ids = 1

    response = testReq.GetPDF(Id)


<b>SendLetter:</b>

    filePath = 'ValidDoc.pdf'
    with open(filePath, "rb") as uploadedFile:

        # First We Initialize the Address Object
        returnAddress = Address('Company', 'AddressLine1', 'AddressLine2',
                                 'City', 'State', 'Zip', 'Country')

        response = testReq.SendLetter('Hello', 
        True, 
        True, 
        returnAddress, 
        uploadedFile, 
        '', True, 
        True, '', 
        'hello123', 
        2, 
        True)


<b>Send Letter With Address:</b>
