Usage

To create a new subscription:

ChargeBee.configure({:api_key => "your_api_key" , :site => "your_site"})
result = ChargeBee::Subscription.create({
    :id => "sub_KyVqDh__dev__NTn4VZZ1", 
    :plan_id => "basic", 
})
subscription = result.subscription
puts "created subscription is #{subscription}"

Create an Idempotent Request

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

require 'chargebee'
ChargeBee.configure({:api_key => "your_api_key" , :site => "your_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"
    }
  },
  nil,
  {"chargebee-idempotency-key" => "<<UUID>>"} # Replace <<UUID>> with a unique string
)
customer = result.customer
card = result.card
responseHeader = result.get_response_headers # Retrieves response headers
puts(responseHeader)
idempotencyReplayedValue = result.is_idempotency_replayed # Retrieves Idempotency replayed header value
puts(idempotencyReplayedValue)

is_idempotency_replayed method can be accessed to differentiate between original and replayed requests.
