Start File Processing Assemblies

Initiate a file processing job by calling `create_assembly`. The process begins immediately, giving you an assembly ID that you can then pass to other tools. You monitor its progress using `get_assembly`.

Template Management Commands

Need to manage your processing templates? Use `create_template` to define a new workflow pattern in code. To see all available patterns, run `list_templates`. Remember you can also update or delete them using `update_template` and `delete_template`.

System Health and Billing Reports

For pre-flight checks, call `get_me` to verify the connection and grab account details. To track costs, run `get_bill`. This function fetches specific billing information for a designated month, crucial for CI/CD accounting.
