Go API client for go-zulip

WARNING This is still under active development and the go-api is not stable (yet)

Getting Started

To use the go-zulip client in your Go project, you can install it via:

go get github.com/tum-zulip/go-zulip/zulip

Then, you can create a new client and start making API calls:

import (
    "context"
    z "github.com/tum-zulip/go-zulip/zulip"
)

func main() {
	// Load configuration from zuliprc file and create a client
	rc, _ := z.NewZulipRCFromFile(".zuliprc")
	client, _ := client.NewClient(rc)

	ctx := context.Background()

	// Get own user ID
	userResp, _, _ := client.GetOwnUser(ctx).Execute()
	userID := userResp.UserID

	// Create a channel
	// Older versions need to use the more verbose Subscribe() endpoint
	channelResp, _, _ := client.CreateChannel(ctx).
		Name("zulip-community").
		Description("A channel to greet the Zulip community").
		Subscribers([]int64{userID}).
		Execute()

	// Send a message greeting the Zulip community
	client.SendMessage(ctx).
		To(z.ChannelAsRecipient(channelResp.ID)).
		Topic("introductions").
		Content("Hello Zulip community! 👋").
		Execute()
}
