# Crowdin Go client The Crowdin Go client is a lightweight interface to the Crowdin API. It provides common services for making API requests. Our API is a full-featured RESTful API that helps you to integrate localization into your development process. The endpoints that we use allow you to easily make calls to retrieve information and to execute actions needed. ## Installation ```bash go get github.com/crowdin/crowdin-api-client-go ``` ## Quick Start Create a new Crowdin client, then use the exposed services to access different parts of the Crowdin API. You can generate Personal Access Token in your Crowdin Account Settings. ```go import "github.com/crowdin/crowdin-api-client-go/crowdin" client, err := crowdin.NewClient( os.Getenv("CROWDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN"), crowdin.WithOrganization("organization-name"), // optional for Crowdin Enterprise ) ``` For example, to create a new project: ```go package main import ( "context" "fmt" "log" "os" "github.com/crowdin/crowdin-api-client-go/crowdin" "github.com/crowdin/crowdin-api-client-go/crowdin/model" ) func main() { client, err := crowdin.NewClient(os.Getenv("CROWDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN")) if err != nil { log.Fatalf("Error creating client: %s", err) } ctx := context.Background() request := &model.ProjectsAddRequest{ Name: "My Project", SourceLanguageID: "en", TargetLanguageIDs: []string{"uk", "de"}, } project, _, err := client.Projects.Add(ctx, request) if err != nil { log.Fatalf("Error creating project: %s", err) } fmt.Printf("Project: %+v\n", project) } ``` Some API methods have optional parameters that can be passed. For example, to list all projects for a specific user: ```go package main import ( "context" "fmt" "log" "os" "github.com/crowdin/crowdin-api-client-go/crowdin" "github.com/crowdin/crowdin-api-client-go/crowdin/model" ) func main() { client, err := crowdin.NewClient(os.Getenv("CROWDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN")) if err != nil { log.Fatalf("Error creating client: %s", err) } // list all projects for a specific user opts := &model.ProjectsListOptions{UserID: 1} projects, _, err := client.Projects.List(context.Background(), opts) if err != nil { log.Fatalf("Error getting projects: %s", err) } fmt.Printf("Projects: %+v\n", projects) } ``` ### Error Handling In case of an error, the client returns an error object. This can either be a generic error with an error message and a code, or a validation error that additionally contains validation error codes. To detect this condition of error, you can use a type assertion: ```go res, _, err := client.SourceStrings.Add(ctx, 1, nil) if err != nil { if validationErr, ok := err.(*model.ValidationErrorResponse); ok { fmt.Printf("Validation error: %v\n", validationErr) } else fmt.Printf("Error: %v\n", err) } } ``` ### HTTP Request Timeout To set a timeout for HTTP requests, you can pass a custom HTTP client with a timeout to the client. You can also use the context package, you can pass cancellation signals and deadlines to various services of the client to handle a request. ```go client, err := crowdin.NewClient( os.Getenv("CROWDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN"), crowdin.WithHTTPClient(&http.Client{Timeout: 10 * time.Second}), ) ``` ## Seeking Assistance If you find any problems or would like to suggest a feature, please read the [How can I contribute](/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-can-i-contribute) section in our contributing guidelines. ## Contributing If you want to contribute please read the [Contributing](/CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines. ## License
