## Installation and usage

### Installation

*postcodeapi* can be installed by running `pip install postcodeapi`.

### Usage

Here is an example of how to use the API client. First you initialize a client with your API key, after that you use
one of the four getter methods to fetch the data you need. They all return the actual JSON response converted to a
Python dictionary.

```python
# Import the PostcodeAPIClient
from postcodeapi.client import PostcodeAPIClient

# Initialize a client with your API key
client = PostcodeAPIClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

# Fetch a list of addresses (for a given postal_code and number)
# The postal_code and number parameters are optional
# The number parameter only works together with postal_code
data = client.get_all_addresses(postal_code="5038EA", number=19)
addresses = data["_embedded"]["addresses"] # List of addresses

# Fetch a single address
address = client.get_address(address_id="0855200000046355")

# Fetch a list of postal codes (within a specific area)
# The area parameter is optional
data = client.get_all_postal_codes(area="5038")
postal_codes = data['_embedded']['postcodes'] # List of postal codes

# Fetch a single postal code
postal_code = client.get_postal_code("5038EA")
```
