Usage

To create a new subscription:

import chargebee
import json
chargebee.configure(api_key, site)
result = chargebee.Subscription.create({
"plan_id" : "basic"
})

print result.subscription

Create an idempotent request:

Idempotency keys are passed along with request headers to allow a safe retry of POST requests.

import chargebee
import json
chargebee.configure(api_key, site)
result = chargebee.Customer.create({
    "first_name" : "John",
    "last_name" : "Doe",
    "email" : "john@test.com",
    "locale" : "fr-CA",
    "billing_address" : {
        "first_name" : "John",
        "last_name" : "Doe",
        "line1" : "PO Box 9999",
        "city" : "Walnut",
        "state" : "California",
        "zip" : "91789",
        "country" : "US"
        }
    },
    None,
    {"chargebee-idempotency-key" : "<<UUID>>"}  # Replace <<UUID>> with a unique string
    )
customer = result.customer
card = result.card
responseHeaders = result.get_response_headers # Retrieves response headers
print(responseHeaders) 
idempotencyReplayedValue = result.is_idempotency_replayed # Retrieves Idempotency replayed header value
print(idempotencyReplayedValue) 

isIdempotencyReplayed() method can be accessed to differentiate between original and replayed requests.
