DEPRECATION NOTICE

Please note that this SDK is deprecated and is no longer officially supported by Lyft.

Lyft Go SDK

lyft-go-sdk is a Go client library for accessing the Lyft API.

Registration

You must first create a Lyft Developer account here.
Once registered, create a new application here.
Your new application will be assigned a Client ID and Client Secret (for use with two- or three-legged OAuth) and a Client Token (for use with public endpoints that don't require user context).

Installation

go get github.com/lyft/lyft-go-sdk/lyft

Usage

The lyft package provides a Client for accessing the Lyft API. Authentication is handled by the http.Client passed to NewAPIClient to handle OAuth2. The Lyft API uses the Client Credentials grant for public endpoints and the Authorization Code grant for endpoints that require a user context; see example for the former and the latter.

client := lyft.NewAPIClient(httpClient, "my-sample-app")

// Get a list of rides taken by the authenticated user within the past 30 days.
result, resp, err := client.UserApi.GetRides(time.Now().AddDate(0, 0, -30), nil)

// Get driver ETA for the specified location.
result, _, err := client.PublicApi.GetETA(37.7763, -122.3918, nil)

// Preset Prime Time to 25% in the specified location.
resp, err := client.SandboxApi.SetPrimeTime(lyft.SandboxPrimetime{
	Lat:                 37.7884,
	Lng:                 -122.4076,
	PrimetimePercentage: "25%",
})
