Form3 Go client library

A simple go client library for the Form3 REST APIs built with custom operation names and swagger templates for a cleaner interface.

This is ideal for:

• Calling the API interactively (e.g. investigating resources or testing new features).
• Scripting (e.g. multi-call investigation or cleanup scripts)
• Testing, particularly when multiple calls to the API are involved.
• Load Testing, with K6 integration for initiating the requests

What's included

A simple client library with:

• Automatic authentication and re-authentication based on environment variables
• Pre-populated request objects with configurable defaults
• Sensible operation naming
• A fluent API with reduced repetition compared with vanilla swagger-go generated clients
• All the power and flexibility of Go!

Getting started

For interactive usage we recommend using gore.
