This project is a Go package that provides interfaces to CenturyLink Cloud API v2.0.

The main goal of CenturyLink SDK is to create wrappers for all methods in CenturyLink REST API, provide developers with access to strongly typed models, instead of raw json messages, take care of all details, such as setting up all necessary headers and handling authorization, as well as provide developers with some very usefully additional features, such as logging and link resolution.

This project is mainly created for Go developers, who want to use CenturyLinks Cloud platform from there application.

In order to use this project Go should be installed. Also, please, note that in order to use go tools, GOPATH environment variable should be set (look here for more details how to set GOPATH)

The easiest way to get CenturyLink SDK is to use go get command.

go get github.com/s-matyukevich/centurylink_sdk

This command will checkout the source of centurylink_sdk and inspect it for any unmet Go package dependencies, downloading those as well. go get will also build and install centurylink_sdk and its dependencies.

The following program demonstrate the basic usage of centurylink_sdk

package main

import (
	sdk "github.com/s-matyukevich/centurylink_sdk"
)

func main() {
	client := sdk.NewClient()
	err := client.Connect("username", "password")
	if err != nil {
		return
	}
	client.GetGroup("someGroup")
}

Basically, the process of working with centurylink_sdk is the following

Import centurylink_sdk package

import (
	sdk "github.com/s-matyukevich/centurylink_sdk"
)

Create new client.

client := sdk.NewClient()

Connect the client

err := client.Connect("username", "password")

After this line is executed centurylink_sdk sends login request and if it succeeded sdk stores internally account alias and bearer token. After this, it can use them for sending all other requests. Alternatively, if you already have you bearer token, you can create client, that is already connected

client = sdk.NewClientInitialized("accountAlias", "bearerToken")

Start sending requests to API

For each documented method in CenturyLink API v2.0 we have corresponding method in client struct. This methods returns strongly typed objects, that are created by unmarshalling json responses. Also, if response contains links collection, for each link in response class separate method is created, that, when executed, sends request to link href and parse response. Another important feature, you should be aware of, is Logging. by default centurylink_sdk skips all logs, but you can set logger to client at any time. The following example shows how to configure client to set logs to standard output.

client.SetLogger(log.New(os.Stdout, "", log.LstdFlags))

Tests are written using gockeck library. You can install it with the following command

go get gopkg.in/check.v1

After this package is installed, you can use go test github.com/s-matyukevich/centurylink_sdk/... command to execute all tests.

• Currently, not all API is fully covered with integration tests. You can see all existing integration tests in api_test.go
• Currently, not for all types of links methods that resolves them have been implemented. This is mostly because there is no documentation for the responses, that are returned, when executing some types of links.
