---

An SDK for interacting with the Metabase REST API for the Go programming language.

🧐 About

Metabase is an analytics tool which allows anyone to easily learn and make decisions from their company's data. It allows you to query data directly from your databases (called "questions"), which you can store and share with others, as well as generate reports.

This module provides an SDK to interact with the Metabase API for the Go programming language.

Note

This SDK is not officially maintained or endorsed by Metabase.

🎈 Usage

1. Add the SDK to your project using go get

   go get github.com:bnjns/metabase-sdk-go

2. Create an authenticator, to tell the client how to authenticate with the API

    package main
    
    import "github.com/bnjns/metabase-sdk-go/metabase"
    
    func main()  { 
        // Both session-based and API key-based authentication is supported
        authenticator, err := metabase.NewApiKeyAuthenticator("<api key>")
        if err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }
    }

3. Create the client

    func main() {
        // ...
        client, err := metabase.NewClient("<host>", authenticator)
        if err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }	
    }
