Trouble following instructions to connect to API

[audrow]

The README says that I can create an API client in the following way:

  # Get your ClientId and ClientSecret from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud (free registration required).

  pdf_api = asposepdfcloud.PdfApi('MY_CLIENT_ID', 'MY_CLIENT_SECRET')

  file_name = 'PdfWithAnnotations.pdf'
  page_number = 2
  response = pdf_api.get_page_annotations(file_name, page_number, folder=temp_folder)

but the PdfApi has the following init:

class PdfApi(object):
    def __init__(self, api_client=None):
        ...

I tried passing in the ApiClient then, but the ApiClient takes an app_key and app_sid, which I haven't been able to find on the Aspose website after registering and creating an application. I tried using my client ID and client secret for these arguments, respectively, but I get an invalid client error, so I suspect that I didn't create the client correctly.

asposepdfcloud.rest.ApiException: (400)

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

If you look into ApiClient and how it makes requests you'll see that app_key is the client secret and app_sid is the client ID. This is really confusing and should be fixed.
