Introduction
⚡️ SharePoint authentication, HTTP client & fluent API wrapper for Go (Golang)
- Unattended authentication using different strategies.
- Simplified API consumption (REST, CSOM, SOAP, etc.).
- SharePoint-aware embedded features (retries, header presets, error handling).
- SharePoint Online (SPO).
- On-Premises (2019/2016/2013).

go get github.com/koltyakov/gosip
Let's assume it's SharePoint Online and Add-In Only permissions. Then
strategy "github.com/koltyakov/gosip/auth/addin" sub package should be used.package main
import (
"github.com/koltyakov/gosip"
"github.com/koltyakov/gosip/api"
strategy "github.com/koltyakov/gosip/auth/addin"
)
auth := &strategy.AuthCnfg{
SiteURL: os.Getenv("SPAUTH_SITEURL"),
ClientID: os.Getenv("SPAUTH_CLIENTID"),
ClientSecret: os.Getenv("SPAUTH_CLIENTSECRET"),
}
AuthCnfg's from different strategies contains different options relevant for a specified auth type.
The authentication options can be provided explicitly or can be read from a configuration file (see more).
configPath := "./config/private.json"
auth := &strategy.AuthCnfg{}
err := auth.ReadConfig(configPath)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Unable to get config: %v\n", err)
return
}
client := &gosip.SPClient{AuthCnfg: auth}
sp := api.NewSP(client)
res, err := sp.Web().Select("Title").Get()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", res.Data().Title)
Provides a simple way of constructing API endpoint calls with IntelliSense and chainable syntax.
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/koltyakov/gosip"
"github.com/koltyakov/gosip/api"
strategy "github.com/koltyakov/gosip/auth/addin"
)
func main() {
// Getting auth params and client
client, err := getAuthClient()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
// Binding SharePoint API
sp := api.NewSP(client)
// Custom headers
headers := map[string]string{
"Accept": "application/json;odata=minimalmetadata",
"Accept-Language": "de-DE,de;q=0.9",
}
config := &api.RequestConfig{Headers: headers}
// Chainable request sample
data, err := sp.Conf(config).Web().Lists().Select("Id,Title").Get()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
// Response object unmarshalling
// (struct depends on OData mode and API method)
res := &struct {
Value []struct {
ID string `json:"Id"`
Title string `json:"Title"`
} `json:"value"`
}{}
if err := json.Unmarshal(data, &res); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("unable to parse the response: %v", err)
}
for _, list := range res.Value {
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", list)
}
}
func getAuthClient() (*gosip.SPClient, error) {
configPath := "./config/private.spo-addin.json" // <- file with creds
auth := &strategy.AuthCnfg{}
if err := auth.ReadConfig(configPath); err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("unable to get config: %v", err)
}
return &gosip.SPClient{AuthCnfg: auth}, nil
}
Provides generic GET/POST helpers for REST operations, reducing amount of
http.NewRequest scaffolded code, can be used for custom or not covered with a Fluent API endpoints.package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/koltyakov/gosip"
"github.com/koltyakov/gosip/api"
strategy "github.com/koltyakov/gosip/auth/ntlm"
)
func main() {
configPath := "./config/private.ntlm.json"
auth := &strategy.AuthCnfg{}
if err := auth.ReadConfig(configPath); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("unable to get config: %v\n", err)
}
sp := api.NewHTTPClient(&gosip.SPClient{AuthCnfg: auth})
endpoint := auth.GetSiteURL() + "/_api/web?$select=Title"
data, err := sp.Get(endpoint, nil)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("%v\n", err)
}
// sp.Post(endpoint, []byte(body), nil) // generic POST
// generic DELETE helper crafts "X-Http-Method"="DELETE" header
// sp.Delete(endpoint, nil)
// generic UPDATE helper crafts "X-Http-Method"="MERGE" header
// sp.Update(endpoint, nil)
// CSOM helper (client.svc/ProcessQuery)
// sp.ProcessQuery(endpoint, []byte(body))
fmt.Printf("response: %s\n", data)
}
Low-lever SharePoint-aware HTTP client from
github.com/koltyakov/gosip package for custom or not covered with a Fluent API client endpoints with granular control for HTTP request, response, and http.Client parameters. Used internally but almost never required in a consumer code.client := &gosip.SPClient{AuthCnfg: auth}
var req *http.Request
// Initiate API request
// ...
resp, err := client.Execute(req)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Unable to request api: %v", err)
return
}
SPClient has
Execute method which is a wrapper function injecting SharePoint authentication and ending up calling http.Client's Do method.Many auth flows have been "copied" from node-sp-auth library (used as a blueprint), which we intensively use in Node.js ecosystem for years.
Fluent API and wrapper syntax are inspired by PnPjs which is also the first-class citizen on almost all our Node.js and front-end projects with SharePoint involved.
