Installation

Install the APIToolkit echo SDK using the following command go get command:

go get github.com/apitoolkit/apitoolkit-go/echo

Configuration

Before configuration open telemetery and setting up the APItoolkit middleware, you need to configure a few environment variables. These variables provide essential information for setting up openTelemetry and APItoolkit.

OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES="at-project-key=YOUR_API_KEY" # Your apitoolkit API key
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME="apitoolkit-otel-go-demo" # Service name for your the service you're integrating in
OTEL_SERVICE_VERSION="0.0.1" # Your application's service version

Usage

After setting up the environment variables, you can configure the OpenTelemetry SDK and APItoolkit middleware like so:

package main

import (
	"log"

	apitoolkit "github.com/apitoolkit/apitoolkit-go/echo"
	"github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
  _ "github.com/joho/godotenv/autoload" // autoload .env file for otel configuration

)


func main() {
  // Configure OpenTelemetry
	shutdown, err := apitoolkit.ConfigureOpenTelemetry()
	if err != nil {
		log.Printf("error configuring openTelemetry: %v", err)
	}
	defer shutdown()

	router := echo.New()
	// Register APItoolkit's middleware
	router.Use(apitoolkit.Middleware(apitoolkit.Config{
		RedactHeaders:       []string{"Authorization", "X-Api-Key"},
		RedactRequestBody:   []string{"password", "credit_card"},
		RedactResponseBody:  []string{"password", "credit_card"},
	}))

	router.GET("/:slug/test", func(c echo.Context) error {
		return c.String(http.StatusOK, "Ok, success!")
	})

	router.Start(":8000")
}
