To access the API, you'll need to create a CyprusPostalCodes::Client and pass in your API key. You can use Cyprus Post contact form to request your API key.

The API is multi-language. has lng param on each resources. It can either be el which will return the response in greek or en which will return the response in english.

The client will default to the greek

client = CyprusPostalCodes::Client.new(api_key: ENV["CYPRUS_POSTAL_CODES_API_KEY"])

The client will use english

client = CyprusPostalCodes::Client.new(api_key: ENV["CYPRUS_POSTAL_CODES_API_KEY"], lng: "en")
