  const { errors, current_user } = await monkey.getAccountDetails();
  console.log(current_user, errors);
})();

  console.log(current_user, errors);
})();

Generate a document

const DOCUMENT_TEMPLATE_ID = "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX";

// pass your dynamic info
const payload = {
  user: {
    firstName: "John",
    lastName: "Doe",
  },
};

//Set the document name using the reserved field "_filename" or other metadata
const meta = {
  _filename: "test.pdf",
  customerId: "1985782",
};

// call the generateDocument method
monkey.generateDocument(DOCUMENT_TEMPLATE_ID, payload, meta).then((result) => {
  // print the document url
  console.log(result.document.download_url);
});
