Leal Go SDK

Context aware client with no external dependencies. Enrol customers, add stamps, redeem rewards and read a card's Apple Wallet and Google Wallet links, without writing a single HTTP request.

Install

go get github.com/lealhq/leal-go-sdk

Your first call

Create a token at app.getleal.com/api_tokens, keep it in an environment variable, and hand it to the client once. Every request after that carries it for you.

import (
  "context"
  "os"

  client "github.com/lealhq/leal-go-sdk/client"
  "github.com/lealhq/leal-go-sdk/option"
)

leal := client.NewClient(option.WithToken(os.Getenv("LEAL_API_TOKEN")))

stores, err := leal.Stores.List(context.TODO())

A token reaches every store its owner belongs to. There is no separate sandbox yet, so build against a store you do not mind changing.

Common tasks

Enrol a customer

Create the customer and put them straight onto a card. The response carries the Apple Wallet and Google Wallet links, so you can send them yourself.

customer, err := leal.Customers.Create(ctx, &api.CreateCustomersRequest{
  AccountID: storeID,
  Customer: &api.CreateCustomersRequestCustomer{
    FirstName: "Ada",
    Email:     api.String("ada@example.com"),
  },
  CardID: api.Int(cardID),
})

Add a stamp

The call most integrations need. Leal records the stamp, updates the wallet pass and sends the notification.

card, err := leal.CustomerCards.Stamp(ctx, &api.StampCustomerCardsRequest{
  AccountID:  storeID,
  CustomerID: customerID,
  ID:         customerCardID,
  Stamps:     1,
})

Redeem a reward

Spend the stamps a customer has earned. Leal checks the reward is available before recording the redemption.

_, err := leal.CustomerCards.Redeem(ctx, &api.RedeemCustomerCardsRequest{
  AccountID:  storeID,
  CustomerID: customerID,
  ID:         customerCardID,
  RewardID:   rewardID,
})

Handle a failure

Errors work with errors.As and carry the status code, so you can tell a missing record from a rate limit without reading strings.

if err != nil {
  var apiError *core.APIError
  if errors.As(err, &apiError) && apiError.StatusCode == 429 {
    // Wait for the seconds in the Retry-After header, then try again.
  }
  return err
}

Every endpoint is available, not just these. The Go repository lists them all, and the API reference documents each field.

Rate limits and retries

Leal allows 300 requests per minute per API token. The client retries a failed request on its own, backing off between attempts, so a brief wobble does not need handling in your code. Go past the limit and you get a 429 carrying Retry-After in seconds. If you need a higher limit, ask us.

Other languages

The same API, the same methods, in eight other languages.
