The official DigitalOcean Go API client

Godo is a Go client library for accessing the DigitalOcean V2 API.

You can view the client API docs here: http://godoc.org/github.com/digitalocean/godo

Usage

import "github.com/digitalocean/godo"

Create a new DigitalOcean client, then use the exposed services to access different parts of the DigitalOcean API.

Authentication

Currently, Personal Access Token (PAT) is the only method of authenticating with the API. You can manage your tokens at the Digital Ocean Control Panel Applications Page.

You can then use your token to create a new client:

import "code.google.com/p/goauth2/oauth"

pat := "mytoken"
t := &oauth.Transport{
	Token: &oauth.Token{AccessToken: pat},
}

client := godo.NewClient(t.Client())

Example

To create a new Droplet:

dropletName := "super-cool-droplet"

createRequest := &godo.DropletCreateRequest{
    Name:   dropletName,
    Region: "nyc3",
    Size:   "512mb",
    Image: godo.DropletCreateImage{
        Slug: "ubuntu-14-04-x64",
    },
}

newDroplet, _, err := client.Droplets.Create(createRequest)

if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Something bad happened: %s\n\n", err)
    return err
}
