Code samples to get you started quickly with Ruby, Python, PHP and Node.js.
Ruby (using standard library)
This Ruby example creates creates a new PDF job. It reads the API key from the PAPERPLANE_API_KEY environment variable, so make sure you have that configured.
This Python example creates creates a new PDF job. It reads the API key from the PAPERPLANE_API_KEY environment variable, so make sure you have that configured.
The requests library is used for making HTTP requests, so you'll need to have that installed.
