API key and Auth token for the same can be obtained from https://test.instamojo.com/developers/ (Details: Test Or Sandbox Account).

api = Instamojo(api_key=API_KEY, auth_token=AUTH_TOKEN, endpoint='https://test.instamojo.com/api/1.1/');

from instamojo_wrapper import Instamojo
api = Instamojo(api_key=API_KEY,
                auth_token=AUTH_TOKEN)

# Create a new Payment Request
response = api.payment_request_payment_status('[PAYMENT REQUEST ID]', '[PAYMENT ID]')

payment_requests_list() also accepts optional arguments like max_created_at, min_created_at, min_modified_at and max_modified_at for filtering the list of Payment Requests. Note that it is not required to pass all of them.

response = api.payment_requests_list(max_created_at="2015-11-19T10:12:19Z",
                                    min_created_at="2015-10-29T12:51:36Z")
