Authentication

The SDK uses an API token for authentication.

client := client.New("your-api-token")

Find more information about how to generate an API token in the Magalu Cloud documentation.

Regions

The Magalu Cloud API is region-based, and each service is available in specific regions. You can set the region on the client to interact with a specific region.

Brazil South East 1 (BR-SE1) - Default

core := client.NewMgcClient(apiToken, client.WithBaseURL(client.BrSe1))

Brazil North East 1 (BR-NE1)

core := client.NewMgcClient(apiToken, client.WithBaseURL(client.BrNe1))

Global Services

Some Magalu Cloud services operate globally and use a dedicated global endpoint (api.magalu.cloud). These global services are:

• SSH Keys Management
• Availability Zones

When using global services, any region configuration set on the core client will be overridden. The service will automatically use the global endpoint.

// Even if core client has a region set
core := client.NewMgcClient(apiToken, client.WithBaseURL(client.BrSe1))

// Global services will ignore the region and use global endpoint
sshClient := sshkeys.New(core) // Uses api.magalu.cloud

// To use a custom endpoint for a global service, use the service's specific option
sshClient := sshkeys.New(core, sshkeys.WithGlobalBasePath("custom-endpoint"))

Note: Setting a region on the core client only affects regional services. Global services will always use their global endpoint unless explicitly configured otherwise using their specific options.

Usage Examples

Initializing the Client

import (
    "github.com/MagaluCloud/mgc-sdk-go/client"
    "github.com/MagaluCloud/mgc-sdk-go/compute"
)

apiToken := os.Getenv("MGC_API_TOKEN")
c := client.NewMgcClient(apiToken)
computeClient := compute.New(c)

Client Configuration Options

You can customize the client behavior using options:

import (
    "time"
    "log/slog"
)

// Configure client with multiple options
c := client.NewMgcClient(
    apiToken,
    client.WithTimeout(5 * time.Minute),
    client.WithUserAgent("my-app/1.0"),
    client.WithLogger(slog.Default().With("service", "mgc")),
    client.WithRetryConfig(
        3, // maxAttempts
        1 * time.Second, // initialInterval
        30 * time.Second, // maxInterval
        1.5, // backoffFactor
    ),
    client.WithBaseURL(client.BrSe1),
)

Available options:

• WithTimeout: Sets the client timeout for requests
• WithUserAgent: Sets a custom User-Agent header
• WithLogger: Configures a custom logger
• WithRetryConfig: Customizes the retry behavior
• WithHTTPClient: Uses a custom HTTP client
• WithBaseURL: Changes the API endpoint (useful for testing or setting a specific region to interact)
• WithCustomHeader: Adds custom headers to all requests

Listing Instances

instances, err := computeClient.Instances().List(context.Background(), compute.ListOptions{
    Limit:  helpers.IntPtr(10),
    Offset: helpers.IntPtr(0),
    Expand: []string{compute.InstanceMachineTypeExpand, compute.InstanceImageExpand},
})

Creating an Instance

createReq := compute.CreateRequest{
    Name: "my-test-vm",
    MachineType: compute.IDOrName{
        Name: helpers.StrPtr("BV1-1-40"),
    },
    Image: compute.IDOrName{
        Name: helpers.StrPtr("cloud-ubuntu-24.04 LTS"),
    },
    Network: &compute.CreateParametersNetwork{
        AssociatePublicIp: helpers.BoolPtr(false),
    },
    SshKeyName: helpers.StrPtr("my-ssh-key"),
}

id, err := computeClient.Instances().Create(context.Background(), createReq)

Managing Machine Types

machineTypes, err := computeClient.MachineTypes().List(context.Background(), compute.MachineTypeListOptions{})

Managing Images

images, err := computeClient.Images().List(context.Background(), compute.ImageListOptions{})

Using Request IDs

You can track requests across systems by setting a request ID in the context. The request ID must be a valid UUIDv4 string:

import (
    "context"
    "github.com/google/uuid"
    "github.com/MagaluCloud/mgc-sdk-go/client"
)

// Generate a valid UUIDv4 for the request
requestID := uuid.New().String()

// Create a context with request ID
ctx := context.WithValue(context.Background(), client.RequestIDKey, requestID)

// The client will automatically include the X-Request-ID header
instances, err := computeClient.Instances().List(ctx, compute.ListOptions{})

The request ID will be:

• Must be a valid UUIDv4 string (e.g. "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000")
• Included in the request as X-Request-ID header
• Logged in the client's logger
• Returned in the response headers for tracking

Error Handling

HTTP Errors

err := computeClient.Instances().Delete(ctx, id)
if httpErr, ok := err.(*client.HTTPError); ok {
    switch httpErr.StatusCode {
    case 404:
        log.Fatal("Instance not found")
    case 403:
        log.Fatal("Permission denied")
    case 429:
        log.Fatal("Rate limit exceeded")
    }
    log.Printf("Response body: %s", string(httpErr.Body))
}

Validation Errors

_, err := computeClient.Instances().Create(ctx, compute.CreateRequest{})
if validErr, ok := err.(*client.ValidationError); ok {
    log.Printf("Invalid field %s: %s", validErr.Field, validErr.Message)
}

Error Types and Interfaces

The SDK provides these error types:

// HTTPError contains details about API request failures
type HTTPError struct {
    StatusCode int         // HTTP status code
    Status     string      // Status message
    Body       []byte      // Raw response body
    Response   *http.Response
}

// ValidationError occurs when request parameters are invalid
type ValidationError struct {
    Field   string   // Which field failed validation
    Message string   // Why the validation failed
}

Common error handling patterns:

// Check for specific error types
err := computeClient.Instances().Delete(ctx, id)
switch e := err.(type) {
case *client.HTTPError:
    // Handle HTTP errors (404, 403, etc)
    fmt.Printf("HTTP %d: %s\n", e.StatusCode, e.Body)
case *client.ValidationError:
    // Handle validation failures
    fmt.Printf("Invalid %s: %s\n", e.Field, e.Message)
default:
    // Handle other errors (context timeout, network issues)
    fmt.Printf("Error: %v\n", err)
}

// Check if error has additional details
if detailed, ok := err.(interface{ ErrorDetails() map[string]interface{} }); ok {
    details := detailed.ErrorDetails()
    fmt.Printf("Error details: %+v\n", details)
}

Retries

The client automatically retries on network errors and 5xx responses:

client := client.NewMgcClient(
    apiToken,
    client.WithRetryConfig(
        3, // maxAttempts
        1 * time.Second, // initialInterval
        30 * time.Second, // maxInterval
        1.5, // backoffFactor
    ),
)

Advanced HTTP Client Usage

For more advanced use cases, you can directly use the mgc_http package. This is useful when you need to interact with API endpoints that are not yet fully supported by the SDK.

ExecuteSimpleRequestWithRespBody

Use this function when you expect a response body that needs to be unmarshaled into a struct.

import (
    "context"
    "github.com/MagaluCloud/mgc-sdk-go/internal/http"
    "github.com/MagaluCloud/mgc-sdk-go/client"
)

type MyResponse struct {
    ID   string `json:"id"`
    Name string `json:"name"`
}

// Create a new request function
newRequest := func(ctx context.Context, method, path string, body any) (*http.Request, error) {
    return mgc_http.NewRequest(myClient.Config, ctx, method, path, body)
}

// Make the request
var myResponse MyResponse
_, err := mgc_http.ExecuteSimpleRequestWithRespBody(
    context.Background(),
    newRequest,
    myClient.Config,
    "GET",
    "/my-endpoint",
    nil, // No request body
    nil, // No query parameters
    &myResponse,
)

ExecuteSimpleRequest

Use this function for requests where you don't expect a response body, such as DELETE requests or other operations that return a 204 No Content status.

err := mgc_http.ExecuteSimpleRequest(
    context.Background(),
    newRequest,
    myClient.Config,
    "DELETE",
    "/my-endpoint/123",
    nil, // No request body
    nil, // No query parameters
)

Handling Query Parameters

To add query parameters to your request, you can use the helpers.NewQueryParams function.

import "github.com/MagaluCloud/mgc-sdk-go/helpers"

// ...

req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "", nil)
queryParams := helpers.NewQueryParams(req)
queryParams.Add("name", helpers.StrPtr("my-resource"))
queryParams.Add("limit", helpers.IntPtr(10))

// The query parameters will be encoded and added to the request URL
_, err := mgc_http.ExecuteSimpleRequestWithRespBody(
    // ...
    queryParams,
    // ...
)

Handling Optional Fields in JSON

To prevent optional fields from being included in the JSON payload when they are not set, use the omitempty tag in your struct definitions. This is standard Go practice and is fully supported by the SDK.

type MyRequest struct {
    RequiredField string  `json:"required_field"`
    OptionalField *string `json:"optional_field,omitempty"`
}

// Create a request with only the required field
reqBody := MyRequest{
    RequiredField: "some-value",
}

// The resulting JSON will be: {"required_field":"some-value"}
// The optional_field will be omitted.
