    • custom approve/reject buttons
    • metadata
    • long polling

  • Webhook callbacks

Install

Install the dependencies:

go get "github.com/approveapi/approveapi-go"

Import:

import "github.com/approveapi/approveapi-go"

Getting Started

To get started, we create a client:

client := approveapi.CreateClient("sk_test_yourapikeyhere")

Now we can make API calls. For example, let's send an approval prompt to confirm a financial transaction.

longPoll := true
prompt, _, err := client.ApproveApi.CreatePrompt(
    approveapi.CreatePromptRequest {
      User: "[email protected]",
      Body: `A transfer of $1337.45 from acct 0294 to acct 1045
          has been initiated. Do you want to authorize this transfer?`,
      ApproveText: "Authorize",
      RejectText: "Reject",
      LongPoll: &longPoll,
    },
)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("%#v\n", err)
    return
}
if prompt.Answer != nil {
    if prompt.Answer.Result {
        fmt.Println("Request approved")
    } else {
        fmt.Println("Request rejected")
    }
} else {
    fmt.Println("No response yet")
}
