Caution: Pass zero-prefixed postal codes as strings

When using postal codes with zero-prefixes, always quote them. For example when specifying 02125, pass it as a string "02125", instead of an integer.

The Ruby interpreter assumes it's not of base-10 and tries to convert it to base-10 number. So that might result in an entirely different postal code than intended.

Accessing Response Headers

You can access response headers via a hidden headers method on the response hash.

addresses = seeuletter.addresses.list

addresses._response.headers[:content_type]
# => "application/json"

Examples

We've provided various examples for you to try out here.

There are simple scripts to demonstrate how to create all letters with the Seeuletter API Ruby wrapper.
