lob-go

Go SDK for the Lob.com API. See the full Lob.com API documentation here.

Getting Started

Registration

First, you will need to first create an account at Lob.com and obtain your Test and Live API Keys.

Once you have created an account, you can access your API Keys from the Settings Panel.

Installation

lob-go can be installed through the go package manager:

$ go install github.com/lob/lob-go@latest

Examples

First API Calls

import (
  "context"
  "os"
  lob "github.com/lob/lob-go"
)
ctx := context.Background()
ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, lob.ContextBasicAuth, lob.BasicAuth{UserName: os.Getenv("LOB_API_TEST_KEY")})

config := *lob.NewConfiguration()

apiClient := *lob.NewAPIClient(&config)

address := *lob.AddressEditable
address.SetName("Harry Zhang")
address.SetAddressLine1("2261 Market Street")
address.SetAddressCity("San Francisco")
address.SetAddressState("CA")
address.SetAddressZip("94114")

myAddress, _, createErr := apiClient.AddressesApi.Create(ctx).AddressEditable(address).Execute()

if createErr != nil {
    log.Fatal(createErr)
}

myAddressFromApi, _, getErr := apiClient.AddressesApi.Get(ctx, *myAddress.Id).Execute()

if getErr != nil {
    log.Fatal(getErr)
}

resp, _, deleteErr := suite.apiClient.AddressesApi.Delete(suite.ctx, *myAddress.Id).Execute()

if deleteErr != nil {
    log.Fatal(deleteErr)
}

API Documentation

The full and comprehensive documentation of Lob's APIs is available here.

Supported Go Versions

Our client libraries follow the Go release schedule. This package is compatible with all current stable versions of Go. If you are using a version that is not listed as an stable version we recommend that you switch to an actively supported LTS version.

Any support or compatability with versions of Go not listed as stable is on a best-efforts basis.

Testing

Integration Tests

Integration tests run against a live deployment of the Lob API and require multiple valid API keys with access to specific features. As such, it is not expected that these tests will pass for every user in every environment.

To run integration tests:

go test -v ./__tests__
