Create a new client

To start making requests you need the API Key. You can find it on your profile page on whoisxmlapi.com. Using the API Key you can create Client.

Most users will be fine with NewBasicClient function.

client := websitecategorization.NewBasicClient(apiKey)

If you want to set custom http.Client to use proxy then you can use NewClient function.

transport := &http.Transport{Proxy: http.ProxyURL(proxyUrl)}

client := websitecategorization.NewClient(apiKey, websitecategorization.ClientParams{
    HTTPClient: &http.Client{
        Transport: transport,
        Timeout:   20 * time.Second,
    },
})

Make basic requests

Website Categorization API lets you get top Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) categories for websites.

// Make request to get a list of categories by a domain name as a model instance.
wCategorizationResp, _, err := client.Get(ctx, "whoisxmlapi.com")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

for _, obj := range wCategorizationResp.Categories {
	log.Printf("ID: %d, Name: %s, Confidence: %f ", obj.ID, obj.Name, obj.Tier1.Confidence)
}

// Make request to get raw data in XML.
resp, err := client.GetRaw(context.Background(), "whoisxmlapi.com",
    websitecategorization.OptionOutputFormat("XML"))
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

log.Println(string(resp.Body))
