Basic example

To create an email address use the inbox controller:


Use with statements to create controllers for each endpoint of the MailSlurp API.


def create_inbox_example():
    with mailslurp_client.ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:

        # create an inbox using the inbox controller
        api_instance = mailslurp_client.InboxControllerApi(api_client)
        inbox = api_instance.create_inbox()

        # check the id and email_address of the inbox
        assert len(inbox.id) > 0
        assert "mailslurp.com" in inbox.email_address
