This project is a Go SDK for Checkly monitoring service. It allows you to handle your checks, check groups, snippets, environments variables and everything you can do with our REST API.

To use the client library with your Checkly account, you will need an API Key for the account. Go to the Account Settings: API Keys page and click 'Create API Key'.

Make sure your project is using Go Modules (it will have a go.mod file in its root if it already is):

$ go mod init

Then, add the reference of checkly-go-sdk in a Go program using import:

import checkly "github.com/checkly/checkly-go-sdk"

Run any of the normal go commands (build/install/test) and the Go toolchain will resolve and fetch the checkly-go-sdk module automatically.

Alternatively, you can also explicitly go get the package into a project:

$ go get -u github.com/checkly/checkly-go-sdk

Create a new checkly Client by calling checkly.NewClient() (you will need to set your Checkly API Key and Account ID)

baseUrl := "https://api.checklyhq.com"
apiKey := os.Getenv("CHECKLY_API_KEY")
accountId := os.Getenv("CHECKLY_ACCOUNT_ID")

client := checkly.NewClient(
	baseUrl,
	apiKey,
	nil, //custom http client, defaults to http.DefaultClient
	nil, //io.Writer to output debug messages
)

client.SetAccountId(accountId)

Note: if you don't have an API key, you can create one at here

Once you have a client, you can create a check. See here how to create your first API & Browser checks.

apiCheck := checkly.Check{
	Name:                 "My API Check",
	Type:                 checkly.TypeAPI,
	Frequency:            5,
	Activated:            true,
	Locations: []string{
		"eu-west-1",
		"ap-northeast-2",
	},
	Tags: []string{ "production" },
	Request: checkly.Request{
		Method: http.MethodGet,
		URL:    "https://api.checklyhq.com/v1",
	},
}

browserCheck := checkly.Check{
	Name:          "My Browser Check",
	Type:          checkly.TypeBrowser,
	Frequency:     5,
	Activated:     true,
	Locations:     []string{"eu-west-1"},
	Script: `const assert = require("chai").assert;
	const puppeteer = require("puppeteer");

	const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
	const page = await browser.newPage();
	await page.goto("https://example.com");
	const title = await page.title();

	assert.equal(title, "Example Site");
	await browser.close();`,
}

ctx := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Second * 5)
client.CreateCheck(ctx, apiCheck)
client.CreateCheck(ctx, browserCheck)

A complete example program! You can see an example program which creates a Checkly check in the demo folder.
