Go

Scenarios

To use Go to call an API through app authentication, obtain the Go SDK, create a new project, and then call the API by referring to the API calling example.

This section uses IntelliJ IDEA 2022.2.1 as an example.

Prerequisites

• You have obtained API calling information. For details, see Preparation.
• You have installed Go 1.14 or a later version. If not, download the Go installation package from the official Go website and install it.
• You have installed IntelliJ IDEA 2022.2.1 or a later version. If not, download the installation package from the official IntelliJ IDEA website and install it.
• You have installed the Go plug-in on IntelliJ IDEA. If not, install the Go plug-in according to Figure 1.

Obtaining the SDK

Log in to the APIG console, and download the SDK on the SDKs page by referring to section "SDKs" in the API Gateway User Guide.

Then obtain the ApiGateway-go-sdk.zip package. The following table shows the files decompressed from the package.

Creating a Project

1. Start IntelliJ IDEA and choose File > New > Project.

   In the displayed New Project dialog box, set Name to the name of the folder in the SDK package, Location to the decompression path of the folder, Language to Go, and click Create.

2. View the directory structure shown in the following figure.

   Modify the parameters in sample code demo.go as required. For details about the sample code, see API Calling Example.

API Calling Example

1. Import the Go SDK (signer.go) to the project.

   import "apig-sdk/go/core"

2. Generate a new signer and enter the AppKey and AppSecret.

   s := core.Signer{
           Key: os.Getenv("CLOUD_SDK_AK"),
           Secret: os.Getenv("CLOUD_SDK_SK"),
   }

3. Generate a new request, and specify the domain name, method, request URL, query parameters, and body.

   r, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "http://c967a237-cd6c-470e-906f-a8655461897e.apigw.exampleRegion.com/api?a=1&b=2",
                            ioutil.NopCloser(bytes.NewBuffer([]byte("foo=bar"))))

4. Add the x-stage header to the request to specify an environment name. Add other headers to be signed as necessary.

   r.Header.Add("x-stage", "RELEASE")

5. Execute the following function to add the X-Sdk-Date and Authorization headers for signing:

   s.Sign(r)

6. Access the API and view the access result.

   resp, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(r)
   body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
