- HTTP Basic Authentication - The Go client can be configured using the username and password parameters to send Basic headers along with every request.
- API Key Authentication - The Go client can be configured to set an API key to send "X-ntnx-api-key" header with every request.

ApiClientInstance.SetApiKey("abcde12345")The client can be configured to retry requests that fail with the following status codes. The numbers of seconds before which the next retry is attempted is determined by the retryInterval:
The client will also redirect requests that fail with 302 - Found to the new location specified in the response header Location.
! Note : Within Golang SDK maximum redirect attempts are limited to 10 by default and cannot be changed tro a custom value.

}The library provides the ability to specify additional options that can be applied directly on the 'ApiClient' object used to make network calls to the API. The library also provides a mechanism to specify operation specific headers.
The 'ApiClient' can be configured to send additional headers on each request.
import (
"github.com/nutanix/ntnx-api-golang-clients/microseg-go-client/v4/client"
)
var (
ApiClientInstance *client.ApiClient
)
ApiClientInstance = client.NewApiClient()
ApiClientInstance.AddDefaultHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate, br")You can also modify the headers sent with each individual operation:
Nutanix APIs require that concurrent updates are protected using ETag headers. This would mean that the ETag header received in the response of a fetch (GET) operation should be used as an If-Match header for the modification (PUT) operation.
import (
"github.com/nutanix/ntnx-api-golang-clients/microseg-go-client/v4/client"
"github.com/nutanix/ntnx-api-golang-clients/microseg-go-client/v4/api"
// import request body DTO for put api
)
var (
ApiClientInstance *client.ApiClient
AddressGroupsApiInstance *api.AddressGroupsApi
)
ApiClientInstance = client.NewApiClient()
// Configure the client as shown in a previous step
// ...
// Initialize the API
AddressGroupsApiInstance = api.NewAddressGroupsApi(ApiClientInstance)
extId := "0dADFaBc-ecD8-f1fC-b8e6-fdcFafd6eaAF"
//
getResponse, err := AddressGroupsApiInstance.GetAddressGroupById(&extId)
if err != nil {
....
}
// Extract E-Tag Header
etagValue := ApiClientInstance.GetEtag(getResponse)
args := make(map[string] interface {})
args["If-Match"] = etagValue
// ...
// Perform update call with received E-Tag reference
// initialize/change parameters for update
// ...
addressGroup := getResponse.GetData().(import1.AddressGroup)
// The body parameter in the following operation is received from the previous GET request's response which needs to be updated.
response, err := AddressGroupsApiInstance.UpdateAddressGroupById(&addressGroup&extId, , args)

}List Operations for Nutanix APIs support pagination, filtering, sorting and projections. The table below details the parameters that can be used to set the options for pagination etc.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| _page | specifies the page number of the result set. Must be a positive integer between 0 and the maximum number of pages that are available for that resource. Any number out of this range will lead to no results being returned. |
| _limit | specifies the total number of records returned in the result set. Must be a positive integer between 0 and 100. Any number out of this range will lead to a validation error. If the limit is not provided a default value of 50 records will be returned in the result set |
| _filter | allows clients to filter a collection of resources. The expression specified with $filter is evaluated for each resource in the collection, and only items where the expression evaluates to true are included in the response. Expression specified with the $filter must conform to the OData V4.01 URL conventions. |
| _orderby | allows clients to specify the sort criteria for the returned list of objects. Resources can be sorted in ascending order using asc or descending order using desc. If asc or desc are not specified the resources will be sorted in ascending order by default. For example, 'orderby=templateName desc' would get all templates sorted by templateName in desc order. |
| _select | allows clients to request a specific set of properties for each entity or complex type. Expression specified with the $select must conform to the OData V4.01 URL conventions. If a $select expression consists of a single select item that is an asterisk (i.e., *), then all properties on the matching resource will be returned. |
| _expand | allows clients to request related resources when a resource that satisfies a particular request is retrieved. Each expanded item is evaluated relative to the entity containing the property being expanded. Other query options can be applied to an expanded property by appending a semicolon-separated list of query options, enclosed in parentheses, to the property name. Permissible system query options are $filter,$select and $orderby. |
