Authentication

The Opencloud APIs will let you authenticate either with an API key that you generated for your experience or with an OAuth token granted by a user authorizing with your application. Goblox supports both of these methods of authentication.

TIP

Make sure that your API key or OAuth application has the proper scopes set. You can find the scopes in the OpenCloud API reference or under the specific method you're calling.

API Keys

You can create a new API key at: https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/credentials?activeTab=ApiKeysTab

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/typical-developers/goblox/opencloud"
)

func main() {
    ctx := context.Background()
    client := opencloud.NewClient().WithAPIKey("YOUR_API_KEY")

    user, resp, err := client.UserAndGroups.GetUser(ctx, "USER_ID")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("User: %+v", user.Name))
}

OAuth Tokens

You can create a new OAuth application at: https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/credentials?activeTab=OAuthTab

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/typical-developers/goblox/opencloud"
)

var (
    client = opencloud.NewClient()
)

func main() {
    ctx := context.Background()
    authedClient := client.WithOAuthToken("YOUR_OAUTH_TOKEN")

    user, resp, err := authedClient.UserAndGroups.GetUser(ctx, "USER_ID")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("User: %+v", user.Name))
}
