Here’s a sample Go code for integrating with the FraudGuard.io API: and associated explanation.

This Go code performs the following steps:

  1. Sets the FraudGuard.io API credentials (username and password).
  2. Defines the IP address to query.
  3. Constructs the API endpoint URL.
  4. Creates an HTTP client.
  5. Creates an HTTP request with the GET method for the API endpoint.
  6. Sets the basic authentication header using Base64 encoding.
  7. Sends the HTTP request and retrieves the response.
  8. Reads the response body and prints it.
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"
	"net/http"
	"encoding/base64"
)

func main() {
	// FraudGuard.io API credentials
	username := "username"
	password := "password"

	// IP address to query
	ipAddress := "8.8.8.8"

	// API endpoint
	apiUrl := "https://api.fraudguard.io/ip/" + ipAddress

	// Create HTTP client
	client := &http.Client{}

	// Create request
	req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", apiUrl, nil)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error creating request:", err)
		return
	}

	// Set basic authentication header
	authString := username + ":" + password
	authHeaderValue := "Basic " + base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString([]byte(authString))
	req.Header.Add("Authorization", authHeaderValue)

	// Send request
	resp, err := client.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error sending request:", err)
		return
	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	// Read response body
	body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error reading response body:", err)
		return
	}

	// Print response
	fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Make sure to replace ‘username’ and ‘password’ with your actual API credentials.
