Installation

# In the consumer module
go mod edit -replace=github.com/OctriDev/github-rest-go-sdk=/path/to/generated-sdk
go get github.com/OctriDev/github-rest-go-sdk

# After this version is published
go get github.com/OctriDev/github-rest-go-sdk@v1.1.4

Quickstart

The example calls activityGetFeeds (GET /feeds), a low-friction operation that requires no request arguments.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"os"

	sdk "github.com/OctriDev/github-rest-go-sdk"
)

func main() {
	ctx := context.Background()
	config := sdk.ClientConfig{
		BaseURL: "https://api.github.com",
		Auth: &sdk.ClientAuthConfig{Bearer: os.Getenv("API_TOKEN")},
	}
	client := sdk.NewGitHubV3REST(config)
	result, err := client.Activity.GetFeeds(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", result)
}

Authentication

Keep credentials outside source control. The quickstart reads them from the environment and the client applies them to every request.

Scheme	ClientAuthConfig field	Sent as
SDK Studio bearer token	Bearer	Authorization: Bearer <token>

Client behavior

• Base URL: https://api.github.com.
• Transport: net/http.
• Timeout: 30,000 ms per attempt.
• Retries: up to 3 attempts for status codes 408, 425, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504, with 500–8,000 ms backoff.
• Idempotency: disabled.
• Error telemetry is disabled by default, even when a reporting endpoint is baked into the build. Consumers must opt in explicitly.
• Telemetry PII filtering is enabled by default: common credentials and direct identifiers are recursively replaced with [REDACTED] before reports are sent. Disable it only through the generated logging config's filterPii (or language-native equivalent) for a trusted private sink.

High-level operation methods return the typed response body directly. The low-level request layer returns an SdkResponse<T> envelope containing data, status, headers, request ID, latency, and attempt count.

Errors and response metadata

All failure paths use a small, predictable hierarchy:

Error	Meaning
SdkValidationError	A request argument failed an OpenAPI constraint before network I/O.
SdkHttpError	The server returned a non-2xx response.
SdkNetworkError	DNS, connection, TLS, or socket failure.
SdkTimeoutError	The configured per-attempt timeout elapsed.

HTTP errors expose StatusCode, the response body and headers, plus RequestID when the server supplies one. Preserve the request ID in support logs; it is the fastest way to correlate a failed SDK call with server-side traces.

Project layout and API discovery

• Operation implementations are grouped under root-level namespace .go files.
• 975 component models are split by API domain under root-level models_<domain>.go or models_<tag_path>_models.go files in the same public sdk package.
• Component schemas can choose a nested model folder with x-octri-sdk-tags: ["Billing/Invoices"]; the first tag owns the model and / creates nesting.
• sdk-manifest.json is the language-neutral public API index: operations, request/response modes, model properties, enum values, and generation settings.
• Public barrel/module exports are the compatibility boundary. Import public model names from those exports; internal domain filenames may evolve without changing model names.

Local mock-server tests

Generated SDK includes schema-derived, zero-dependency mock server and network contract suite. Node.js 20+ required. Contract probes use authored response examples only; schema-synthesized routes remain available to the local server.

./scripts/mock --port 4010 starts server. ./scripts/test runs the mock contract suite, then native SDK tests. A zero-authored-example contract run succeeds with an explicit zero-test summary; mismatches in authored examples still fail.
