Process some documents

Now that you have your access token, you can send documents to Semantria. Since Semantria is asynchronous, you will need to request them as well. Here is a simple script to submit documents for analysis and retrieve them. Note that in this script, we don't take any action to handle failing cases, such as a document length being too long. If such an error occurs this simply exits.
To run this set the environment variable SEMANTRIA_TOKEN to your access token before running the script or replace the assignment (e.g., SEMANTRIA_TOKEN = "" )

# send batch of documents using the default English language template
# we are using a job ID here to enable multiple senders and receivers to not cause issues

❗️
In a real application, you will want to have one job for queueing and another for requesting.
