The WorkOS library for Go provides convenient access to the WorkOS API from applications written in Go.
See the API Reference for Go usage examples.
Install the package with:
go get -u github.com/workos/workos-go/v4...
To use the library you must provide an API key, located in the WorkOS dashboard, as an environment variable WORKOS_API_KEY
:
WORKOS_API_KEY="sk_1234"
Or, you can set it on your own before your application starts:
sso.Configure(
"<WORKOS_API_KEY>",
"<CLIENT_ID>",
"https://foo-corp.com/redirect-uri"
);
directorysync.SetAPIKey("<WORKOS_API_KEY>");
For our SDKs WorkOS follows a Semantic Versioning (SemVer) process where all releases will have a version X.Y.Z (like 1.0.0) pattern wherein Z would be a bug fix (e.g., 1.0.1), Y would be a minor release (1.1.0) and X would be a major release (2.0.0). We permit any breaking changes to only be released in major versions and strongly recommend reading changelogs before making any major version upgrades.
WorkOS has features in Beta that can be accessed via Beta releases. We would love for you to try these and share feedback with us before these features reach general availability (GA). To install a Beta version, please follow the installation steps above using the Beta release version.
Note: there can be breaking changes between Beta versions. Therefore, we recommend pinning the package version to a specific version. This way you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest Beta version.
We highly recommend keeping an eye on when the Beta feature you are interested in goes from Beta to stable so that you can move to using the stable version.
