Authentication

Configure authentication for the Go SDK.

Using an Access Token

If you have an access token from the ByCloud console, you can use it directly:

package main

import "github.com/bycoded/bycloud-go"

func main() {
    // Using an access token
    client := bycloud.New(bycloud.WithToken("YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"))
}

Using API Key Credentials

For service accounts, use the access key ID and secret access key:

package main

import "github.com/bycoded/bycloud-go"

func main() {
    // Using API key credentials
    client := bycloud.New(
        bycloud.WithAPIKey("YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID", "YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"),
    )
}

Environment Variables

The SDK can automatically read credentials from environment variables. This is recommended for production deployments:

package main

import "github.com/bycoded/bycloud-go"

func main() {
    // The SDK automatically reads from environment variables:
    // BYCLOUD_TOKEN or BYCLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID + BYCLOUD_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
    client := bycloud.New()
}

Supported environment variables: BYCLOUD_TOKEN, BYCLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, BYCLOUD_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
