The Vements Client Library for Go is a client library for accessing the Vements API from applications written in the Go language. It also includes a command line tool that can be used to interact with the API in scripts or in a terminal.

Documentation

See the Getting Started Guide for more information on how to use this library.

Installation

Build

To build the command line tool, use the following command:

$ go build -o vements github.com/vements/client-go

Usage

The following example shows how to use the Vements Client Library for Go to create a new Vements client, and then use that client to create a new Vements scoreboard.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"

    vements " github.com/vements/client-go"
)


func init() { 
    var client *vements.Client = vements.NewClient("YOUR_API_KEY")
    var scoreboard *vements.Scoreboard = client.CreateScoreboard(display: "My Scoreboard", rankDir: "desc", public: false)
}

Command Line Tool

The Vements Client Library for C# includes a command line tool that can be used to interact with the Vements API. The command line tool supports all of the same operations as the API.

Usage

$ vements --help

The Go CLI tool supports all of the same operations as the CLI tool in other languages:

• achievement CRUD, list, leaderboard, record progress
• participant CRUD, list, progress, scores
• scoreboard CRUD, list, scoreboard, record score

The above commands all support the following options:

• --api-key to specify the API key
• --verbose to show verbose output

In addition to resource commands, these common commands are also supported:

• api-version to show the API version
• client-version to show the client library version

The library and CLI both support the following environment variables:

• API_KEY to specify the API key
• SERVER_TAGS to specify the tags used to select the server URL
