Installation

$ go get github.com/matm/go-nowpayments@v1.0.4

Usage

Just load the config with all the credentials from a file or using a Reader then display the NOWPayments' API status and the last 2 payments made with:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"strings"

	"github.com/matm/go-nowpayments/config"
	"github.com/matm/go-nowpayments/core"
	"github.com/matm/go-nowpayments/payments"
)

func main() {
      // Load sandbox's credentials.
	err := config.Load(strings.NewReader(`
{
      "server": "https://api-sandbox.nowpayments.io/v1",
      "login": "some_email@domain.tld",
      "password": "some_password",
      "apiKey": "some_api_key"
}
`))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Use the server URL defined above.
	core.UseBaseURL(core.BaseURL(config.Server()))
	// Use default HTTP client.
	core.UseClient(core.NewHTTPClient())

	st, err := core.Status()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Println("API status:", st)

	const limit = 2
	ps, err := payments.List(&payments.ListOption{
		Limit: limit,
	})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("Last %d payments: %v\n", limit, ps)
}

CLI Tool

A np tool is available to easily play with the payments API from the command line. Please make sure to target the sandbox API server in this case.

Can be installed with:

$ go install github.com/matm/go-nowpayments/cmd/np@latest

The following commands are available:

Usage of np:
  -a float
        pay amount for new payment/invoice (default 2)
  -c    show list of selected currencies
  -case string
        payment's case (sandbox only) (default "success")
  -debug
        turn debugging on
  -f string
        JSON config file to use
  -i    new invoice
  -l    list all payments
  -n    new payment
  -p string
        status of payment ID
  -pc string
        crypto currency to pay in (default "xmr")
  -pi string
        new payment from invoice ID

In order to work, np expects a JSON config file provided as an argument, like

$ np -f conf.json -c

to list all crypto currencies available for payments.

The JSON config file looks like

{
  "server": "https://api-sandbox.nowpayments.io/v1",
  "login": "your_email_adresse",
  "password": "some_password",
  "apiKey": "the API key to use"
}

• server is the path to the API server, i.e. one of
  • sandbox: https://api-sandbox.nowpayments.io/v1
  • production: https://api.nowpayments.io/v1
• login and password are your NOWPayments credentials
• apiKey is one API key generated in your admin account
