MessageBird's REST API for Go

This repository contains the open source Go client for MessageBird's REST API. Documentation can be found at: https://developers.messagebird.com.

Requirements

• Sign up for a free MessageBird account
• Create a new access key in the developers sections
• An application written in Go to make use of this API

Installation

The easiest way to use the MessageBird API in your Go project is to install it using go get:

$ go get github.com/messagebird/go-rest-api

Examples

Here is a quick example on how to get started. Assuming the go get installation worked, you can import the messagebird package like this:

import "github.com/messagebird/go-rest-api"

Then, create an instance of messagebird.Client:

client := messagebird.New("test_gshuPaZoeEG6ovbc8M79w0QyM")

Now you can query the API for information or send data. For example, if we want to request our balance information you'd do something like this:

// Request the balance information, returned as a Balance object.
balance, err := balance.Read(client)
if err != nil {
	switch errResp := err.(type) {
	case messagebird.ErrorResponse:
		for _, mbError := range errResp.Errors {
			fmt.Printf("Error: %#v\n", mbError)
		}
	}

	return
}

fmt.Println("  payment :", balance.Payment)
fmt.Println("  type    :", balance.Type)
fmt.Println("  amount  :", balance.Amount)

This will give you something like:

$ go run example.go
  payment : prepaid
  type    : credits
  amount  : 9

Please see the other examples for a complete overview of all the available API calls.
