Description

I just tried the demo code given at https://royal-mail-rest-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html
when it executes body.add_service('P', 1, 'TPN', 'T', True, ['14'])
It gives an error that there is no add_service method in RoyalMailBody.

After checking into the gitlab it was not there.

AttributeError: 'RoyalMailBody' object has no attribute 'add_service'

The returned Auth token for shipping has a 4 hour lifetime according to royal mail docs.

Allow the API to:

• not re-authenticate if the token is still valid
• re-authenticate automatically if the token has expired

remove enhancement 16 as there is a know bug @ royal mail where by it does not work.

Test to make sure the service type is valid before any API call is carried out

Instead of using requests.raise_for_status() maybe inspect the error code, and return the friendly error along with an exception to enable better and easier access

no option to add the recipient telephone number

Tokens expire after 4 hours, add a decorator than can be added to each method to check the validity / expiry time of any token we may have.

If expired, refresh.

Make sure the service offering is validated before any api call happens

Description

I try to use the tracking API and get 401

I verified the client id and secret were correct via https://developer.royalmail.net/application

Do you know if I need someone in RM to explicitly grant me access to tracking API?

Validate Country code is correct before any api call is carried out
