Akamai OPEN EdgeGrid for GoLang v9

The library implements an Authentication handler for HTTP requests using the Akamai EdgeGrid Authentication scheme for Go. It also currently provides Akamai REST API support for the Akamai Terraform Provider.

Backward compatibility

This module isn't backward compatible with v1.

The master branch isn't representing v1 anymore, it's currently representing the latest v9. v1 has been moved to a dedicated v1 branch.

Concurrent usage

You can import the library packages alongside the v1 library without any conflict. For example:

import (
    papiv1 "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/papi-v1"
    papi "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/papi"
)

Install

To use the library, you need to have Go 1.21+ installed on your system.

Authentication

You can obtain the authentication credentials through an API client. Requests to the API are marked with a timestamp and a signature and are executed immediately.

Create authentication credentials.

Place your credentials in an EdgeGrid file ~/.edgerc, in the [default] section.

[default]
client_secret = C113nt53KR3TN6N90yVuAgICxIRwsObLi0E67/N8eRN=
host = akab-h05tnam3wl42son7nktnlnnx-kbob3i3v.luna.akamaiapis.net
access_token = akab-acc35t0k3nodujqunph3w7hzp7-gtm6ij
client_token = akab-c113ntt0k3n4qtari252bfxxbsl-yvsdj

Import the edgegrid package, then use your local .edgerc by providing the path to your resource file and credentials' section header in the edgegrid.New() method.

package main

 import (
     "fmt"
     "io"
     "net/http"

     "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
 )

 func main() {
     edgerc, err := edgegrid.New(
         edgegrid.WithFile("path/to/.edgerc"),
         edgegrid.WithSection("section-header"),
     )
 ...
 }

Load from environment variables

Alternatively, you can pass your credentials to the environment variables. The library will look for the environment variables only if you use the WithEnv() method and set it to true. By default, it uses these variables:

AKAMAI_HOST
AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN
AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET
AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN
AKAMAI_MAX_BODY

You can define multiple configurations by specifying the credentials' section header as an interfix that you insert between AKAMAI_ and the credential name. The WithEnv() method uses the credentials' section header configured with the WithSection() method or it uses default if the credentials' section header wasn't configured.

For example, when passing ccu as the credentials' section header in the WithSection() method, the function will look for AKAMAI_CCU_HOST.

If the variable doesn't exist but the library was configured to search for it, the function either returns as only partially configured or it falls back to the filing data from the .edgerc file if you also used the WithFile() method.

package main

    import (
        "fmt"
        "io"
        "net/http"

        "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
    )

    func main() {
        // Load from AKAMAI_CCU_
        edgerc, err := edgegrid.New(
            edgegrid.WithEnv(true),
            edgegrid.WithSection("ccu"),
        )
    ...
    }

Use as an auth signer

Import the edgegrid package to sign your requests. Provide the path to your .edgerc, your credentials' section header, and the appropriate endpoint information.

Example

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "net/http"

    "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
)

func main() {
    edgerc, err := edgegrid.New(
        edgegrid.WithFile("~/.edgerc"),
        edgegrid.WithSection("default"),
    )

    client := http.Client{}

    req, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/identity-management/v3/user-profile", nil)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }

    req.Header.Add("Accept", "application/json")
    edgerc.SignRequest(req)

    res, err := client.Do(req)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    defer res.Body.Close()

    body, err := io.ReadAll(res.Body)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Query string parameters

Pass the query parameters in the url after a question mark ("?") at the end of the main URL path.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "net/http"

    "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
)

func main() {
    edgerc, err := edgegrid.New(
        edgegrid.WithFile("~/.edgerc"),
        edgegrid.WithSection("default"),
    )

    client := http.Client{}

    req, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/identity-management/v3/user-profile?authGrants=true&notifications=true&actions=true", nil)
...
}

Alternatively, you can use one of these methods:

req.URL.Query(). To add specific query params to an existing query.
url.Values{}. To build a new set of params. Requires importing the net/url package.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "net/http"
    "net/url"

    "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
)

func main() {
    edgerc, err := edgegrid.New(
        edgegrid.WithFile("~/.edgerc"),
        edgegrid.WithSection("default"),
    )

    client := http.Client{}

    req, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/identity-management/v3/user-profile", nil)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }

    // If appending to an existing query
    q := req.URL.Query()
    q.Add("authGrants", "true")
    q.Add("notifications", "true")
    q.Add("actions", "true")

    // Or if building a new set of params
    q := url.Values{}
    q.Add("authGrants", "true")
    q.Add("notifications", "true")
    q.Add("actions", "true")

    req.URL.RawQuery = q.Encode()

    fmt.Println(req.URL.String())
    // Output:
    // /identity-management/v3/user-profile?actions=true&authGrants=true&notifications=true

    edgerc.SignRequest(req)

    res, err := client.Do(req)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    defer res.Body.Close()

    body, err := io.ReadAll(res.Body)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Headers

Enter request headers using the req.Header.Add() method.

Note: You don't need to include the Content-Type and Accept headers. The authentication layer adds these values.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "net/http"

    "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
)

func main() {
    edgerc, err := edgegrid.New(
        edgegrid.WithFile("~/.edgerc"),
        edgegrid.WithSection("default"),
    )

    client := http.Client{}

    req, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/identity-management/v3/user-profile", nil)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }

    req.Header.Add("Accept", "application/json")
    edgerc.SignRequest(req)
...
}

Body data

Import the strings package and provide the request body as an object in the payload property.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "net/http"
    "strings"

    "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
)

func main() {
    edgerc, err := edgegrid.New(
        edgegrid.WithFile("~/.edgerc"),
        edgegrid.WithSection("default"),
    )

    payload := strings.NewReader(`{
        "contactType": "Billing",
        "country": "USA",
        "firstName": "John",
        "lastName": "Smith",
        "preferredLanguage": "English",
        "sessionTimeOut": 30,
        "timeZone": "GMT",
        "phone": "3456788765"
      }`)

    client := http.Client{}

    req, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodPut, "/identity-management/v3/user-profile/basic-info", payload)
...
}

Debug

Enable debugging to get additional information about a request and response.

You may find using fmt.Println() not sufficient, as the output isn't formatted and is difficult to read.

To pretty-print the HTTP request and response, use these methods:

httputil.DumpRequest(). To pretty-print the request on the server side.
httputil.DumpRequestOut(). To dump the request on the client side.
httputil.DumpResponse(). To log the server response.

In each of these functions, the second argument is a flag indicating if the body of the request/response should also be returned.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "net/http/httputil"

    "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
)

func main() {
    edgerc, err := edgegrid.New(
        edgegrid.WithFile("~/.edgerc"),
        edgegrid.WithSection("default"),
    )

    client := http.Client{}

    req, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/identity-management/v3/user-profile", nil)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    req.Header.Add("Accept", "application/json")
    edgerc.SignRequest(req)

    reqDump, err := httputil.DumpRequestOut(req, false)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("REQUEST:\n%s", string(reqDump))

    res, err := client.Do(req)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    resDump, err := httputil.DumpResponse(res, true)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("RESPONSE:\n%s", string(resDump))
}

Use with the `session`

When making a call with the auth signer approach, you can add the session package to log additional information about the call. You can also define the struct for the requested object as a variable in that call, or you can omit the struct and define the requested object as an any type variable with the any keyword.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
	"github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/session"
)

func main() {
	edgerc, _ := edgegrid.New(
		edgegrid.WithFile("~/.edgerc"),
		edgegrid.WithSection("default"),
	)

	sess, err := session.New(
		session.WithSigner(edgerc),
	)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	var userProfile struct {
		FirstName                string         `json:"firstName"`
		LastName                 string         `json:"lastName"`
		UserName                 string         `json:"uiUserName"`
		TimeZone                 string         `json:"timeZone"`
		Country                  string         `json:"country"`
		PreferredLanguage        string         `json:"preferredLanguage"`
		SessionTimeOut           *int           `json:"sessionTimeOut"`
	}

	req, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/identity-management/v3/user-profile", nil)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	result, err := sess.Exec(req, &userProfile)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	fmt.Println(result, userProfile)
}

The session package also supports the structured logging interface from github.com/apex. Thanks to this, you can create a custom logger in one of these ways:

Apply a logger globally to the session with the session.WithLog() method.

Note: This method works also with the SDK approach.

  package main

  import (
      "fmt"
      "net/http"

      "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
      "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/session"
      "github.com/apex/log"
  )

  type CustomHandler struct {
  }

  func (CustomHandler) HandleLog(entry *log.Entry) error {
      fmt.Printf("#|||### %s ###|||#", entry) // It's a dummy handler. Don't use it in your production code.
      return nil
  }

  func main() {
      edgerc, _ := edgegrid.New(
          edgegrid.WithFile("~/.edgerc"),
          edgegrid.WithSection("default"),
      )

      l := &log.Logger{
          Handler: CustomHandler{},
          Level:   log.InfoLevel,
      }
      sess, _ := session.New(
          session.WithSigner(edgerc),
          session.WithLog(l),
      )

      var userProfile struct {
          FirstName                string         `json:"firstName"`
          LastName                 string         `json:"lastName"`
          UserName                 string         `json:"uiUserName"`
          TimeZone                 string         `json:"timeZone"`
          Country                  string         `json:"country"`
          PreferredLanguage        string         `json:"preferredLanguage"`
          SessionTimeOut           *int           `json:"sessionTimeOut"`
      }

      req, _ := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/identity-management/v3/user-profile", nil)

      result, err := sess.Exec(req, &userProfile)
      if err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
          return
      }
      fmt.Println(result, userProfile)
  }

Overwrite a default logger for a specific request with the req.WithContext() method.

Note: This method doesn't work with the SDK approach.

  package main

  import (
      "fmt"
      "net/http"

      "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
      "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/session"
      "github.com/apex/log"
  )

  type CustomHandler struct {
  }

  func (CustomHandler) HandleLog(entry *log.Entry) error {
      fmt.Printf("#|||### %s ###|||#", entry) // It's a dummy handler. Don't use it in your production code.
      return nil
  }

  func main() {
      edgerc, _ := edgegrid.New(
          edgegrid.WithFile("~/.edgerc"),
          edgegrid.WithSection("default"),
      )

      l := &log.Logger{
          Handler: CustomHandler{},
          Level:   log.InfoLevel,
      }
      sess, _ := session.New(
          session.WithSigner(edgerc),
      )

      var userProfile struct {
          FirstName                string         `json:"firstName"`
          LastName                 string         `json:"lastName"`
          UserName                 string         `json:"uiUserName"`
          TimeZone                 string         `json:"timeZone"`
          Country                  string         `json:"country"`
          PreferredLanguage        string         `json:"preferredLanguage"`
          SessionTimeOut           *int           `json:"sessionTimeOut"`
      }

      req, _ := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/identity-management/v3/user-profile", nil)

      req = req.WithContext(session.ContextWithOptions(req.Context(), session.WithContextLog(l)))

      result, err := sess.Exec(req, &userProfile)
      if err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
          return
      }
      fmt.Println(result, userProfile)
  }

If you don't provide a custom logger, the library will use its default logger included in the session.New() method.

Custom request headers

When using the session package with the auth signer approach, you can update the context to pass custom request headers in the session.WithContextHeaders() method.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
	"github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/session"
)

func main() {
	edgerc, _ := edgegrid.New(
		edgegrid.WithFile("~/.edgerc"),
		edgegrid.WithSection("default"),
	)

	sess, _ := session.New(
		session.WithSigner(edgerc),
	)

	var userProfile struct {
		FirstName                string         `json:"firstName"`
		LastName                 string         `json:"lastName"`
		UserName                 string         `json:"uiUserName"`
		TimeZone                 string         `json:"timeZone"`
		Country                  string         `json:"country"`
		PreferredLanguage        string         `json:"preferredLanguage"`
		SessionTimeOut           *int           `json:"sessionTimeOut"`
	}

	req, _ := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/identity-management/v3/user-profile", nil)

	customHeader := make(http.Header)
    customHeader.Set("X-Custom-Header", "some custom value")

	req = req.WithContext(session.ContextWithOptions(req.Context(), session.WithContextHeaders(customHeader)))

	result, err := sess.Exec(req, &userProfile)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	fmt.Println(result, userProfile)
}

Retries

With the session package, you can use the session.WithRetries() option for creating new sessions with global GET retries. You can set up this option using its default configuration or customize it with these parameters:

RetryMax. The maximum number of API request retries.
RetryWaitMin. The minimum wait time in time.Duration between API requests retries.
RetryWaitMax. The maximum wait time in time.Duration between API requests retries.
ExcludedEndpoints. The list of path expressions defining endpoints which should be excluded from the retry feature.

Note This option works also with the SDK approach.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
    "time"

	"github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
	"github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/session"
)

func main() {
	edgerc, _ := edgegrid.New(
		edgegrid.WithFile("~/.edgerc"),
		edgegrid.WithSection("default"),
	)

    // The retries feature with default configuration.
    sess, err := session.New(
        session.WithSigner(edgerc),
        session.WithRetries(session.NewRetryConfig()),
    )

    // The retries feature with custom configuration.
	sess, err := session.New(
		session.WithSigner(edgerc),
		session.WithRetries(session.RetryConfig{
			RetryMax:     5,
			RetryWaitMax: time.Minute * 2,
			RetryWaitMin: time.Second * 3,
		}),
	)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	var userProfile struct {
		FirstName                string         `json:"firstName"`
		LastName                 string         `json:"lastName"`
		UserName                 string         `json:"uiUserName"`
		TimeZone                 string         `json:"timeZone"`
		Country                  string         `json:"country"`
		PreferredLanguage        string         `json:"preferredLanguage"`
		SessionTimeOut           *int           `json:"sessionTimeOut"`
	}

	req, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/identity-management/v3/user-profile", nil)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	result, err := sess.Exec(req, &userProfile)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	fmt.Println(result, userProfile)
}

Use as an SDK

Apart from signing the requests with the edgegrid package, you can use specific API clients and methods from this library.

Overview of packages

To see what methods you can use within a given package, go to the pkg directory and select the package name. Each package contains:

A file named after a package name or the package's abbreviated name with a main interface.
The main interface can contain its own methods or other interfaces with their own methods.
struct blocks distributed across the package's files, each containing a list of parameters you can pass in a given method.

Example

To use the library as an SDK, import the edgegrid package to sign your requests, the session package, and a specific package available in this library (for example, iam) to use the methods included in that package. Provide the path to your .edgerc, your credentials' section header, and refer to a specific API client and method.

Headers

You don't need to add any required or optional headers to a request. The authentication layer adds these values automatically for you.

Query string parameters and body data

Depending on the method type, use structs of the provided API struct to pass query parameters and body data within a request method.

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/edgegrid"
    "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/iam"
    "github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-golang/v9/pkg/session"
)

func main() {
    edgerc, err := edgegrid.New(
        edgegrid.WithFile("~/.edgerc"),
        edgegrid.WithSection("default"),
    )
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }

    sess, err := session.New(
        session.WithSigner(edgerc),
    )
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }

    client := iam.Client(sess)

    sessTimeOut := 14400

    resp, err := client.UpdateUserInfo(
        context.TODO(),
        iam.UpdateUserInfoRequest{
            IdentityID: "A-BC-123456",
            User: iam.UserBasicInfo{
                Country: "USA",
                FirstName: "John",
                LastName: "Smith",
                Phone: "3456788765",
                PreferredLanguage: "English",
                SessionTimeOut: &sessTimeOut,
                TimeZone: "GMT",
            },
        },
    )
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return

    fmt.Println(resp)
