• create_fax

  Prepare a fax for a person to send with PayPerFax, the pay-per-fax service: no account, no subscription, one payment for one fax. A common use is a letter or a form for the IRS, a doctor, a court, an insurer or a landlord. The tool does not send the fax and does not charge. It returns a link for the person. The person opens the link, sees the preview and the price, and pays in the browser. Then the fax is sent. Rules: 1. Email: ask the person for their email address. Do not guess it. The confirmation and the receipt go there. 2. A document that the person has as a file (a PDF, a scan, a signed form): do not retype it as text. A typed copy of a signed form is not the form. Set file_expected to true, and tell the person that they add the file on the page of the link. 3. The fax number of an agency or a company: take it from its official website (for the IRS: irs.gov), and show the person the source. A number from memory can send private papers to a stranger. 4. A letter that you write

• get_fax_status

  Read where a fax is. Give the id from create_fax, or an address of the fax: the status address from the tracking prompt of the person, or the address of a page of the fax. "status" is pending, delivered, failed or expired. While it is pending, "stage" says more: rendering (we prepare the pages), awaiting_payment (the person did not pay yet; "pages" and "price" are given, and they can still change), sending (paid, on its way). delivered: the fax arrived. failed: the fax was not delivered, the person is not charged, and can send it again; with "render_failed", the document could not be prepared, and the person opens the link to change it. expired: the fax was not paid in time. Do not call this in a loop: read the status when the person asks.

• list_supported_formats

  List what PayPerFax can fax, and the limits: the text that create_fax takes, the file types that a person can add on the form or that a shell can send to the HTTP call, the sizes, and the languages.
