Description
The Go SDK wraps the latest version of the ProfitBricks REST API. All API operations are performed over SSL and authenticated using your ProfitBricks portal credentials. The API can be accessed within an instance running in ProfitBricks or directly over the Internet from any application that can send an HTTPS request and receive an HTTPS response.
Getting Started
Before you begin you will need to have signed-up for a ProfitBricks account. The credentials you setup during sign-up will be used to authenticate against the API.
Installation
Install the Go language from: Go Installation
The GOPATH
environment variable specifies the location of your Go workspace. It is likely the only environment variable you'll need to set when developing Go code. This is an example of pointing to a workspace configured underneath your home directory:
mkdir -p ~/go/bin
export GOPATH=~/go
export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOBIN
The following go command will download profitbricks-sdk-go
to your configured GOPATH
:
go get "github.com/profitbricks/profitbricks-sdk-go"
The source code of the package will be located at:
$GOBIN\src\profitbricks-sdk-go
Create main package file example.go:
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
}
Import GO SDK:
import(
"github.com/profitbricks/profitbricks-sdk-go"
)
Authenticating
Add your credentials for connecting to ProfitBricks:
profitbricks.SetAuth("username", "password")
Caution: You will want to ensure you follow security best practices when using credentials within your code or stored in a file.
Error Handling
The SDK will raise custom exceptions when the Cloud API returns an error. There are four response types:
HTTP Code | Description |
---|---|
401 | The supplied user credentials are invalid. |
404 | The requested resource cannot be found. |
422 | The request body includes invalid JSON. |
429 | The Cloud API rate limit has been exceeded. |

Create main package file example.go:
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
}
Import GO SDK:
import(
"github.com/profitbricks/profitbricks-sdk-go"
)
Add your credentials for connecting to ProfitBricks:
profitbricks.SetAuth("username", "password")
Set depth:
profitbricks.SetDepth("5")
Depth controls the amount of data returned from the REST server ( range 1-5 ). The larger the number the more information is returned from the server. This is especially useful if you are looking for the information in the nested objects.
Caution: You will want to ensure you follow security best practices when using credentials within your code or stored in a file.
Reference
This section provides details on all the available operations and the arguments they accept. Brief code snippets demonstrating usage are also included.
Depth
Many of the List or Get operations will accept an optional depth argument. Setting this to a value between 0 and 5 affects the amount of data that is returned. The detail returned varies somewhat depending on the resource being queried, however it generally follows this pattern.
Depth | Description |
---|---|
0 | Only direct properties are included. Children are not included. |
1 | Direct properties and children's references are returned. |
2 | Direct properties and children's properties are returned. |
3 | Direct properties, children's properties, and descendant's references are returned. |
4 | Direct properties, children's properties, and descendant's properties are returned. |
5 | Returns all available properties. |
This SDK sets the Depth=5 by default as that works well in the majority of cases. You may find that setting Depth to a lower or higher value could simplify a later operation by reducing or increasing the data available in the response object.
Data Centers
Virtual Data Centers (VDCs) are the foundation of the ProfitBricks platform. VDCs act as logical containers for all other objects you will be creating, e.g., servers. You can provision as many VDCs as you want. VDCs have their own private network and are logically segmented from each other to create isolation.
List Data Centers
This operation will list all currently provisioned VDCs that your account credentials provide access to.
There are no request arguments that need to be supplied.

Location
once it has been provisioned.

arguments when creating a volume. A LicenceType
is required, but if Image

arguments need to be supplied when creating a volume using one of the official ProfitBricks images. Only official ProfitBricks provided images support the SshKeys
and ImagePassword
arguments.
Update a Volume
You can update various attributes of an existing volume; however, some restrictions are in place:
You can increase the size of an existing storage volume. You cannot reduce the size of an existing storage volume. The volume size will be increased without requiring a reboot if the relevant hot plug settings (disc_virtio_hot_plug
, disc_virtio_hot_unplug
, etc.) have been set to true. The additional capacity is not added automatically added to any partition, therefore you will need to handle that inside the OS afterwards. Once you have increased the volume size you cannot decrease the volume size.
Since an existing volume is being modified, none of the request arguments are specifically required as long as the changes being made satisfy the requirements for creating a volume.
The following table describes the request arguments:
Name | Required | Type | Description |

LicenceType | no | string | The licence type of the volume. Options: LINUX, WINDOWS, WINDOWS2016, UNKNOWN, OTHER. You may get an error trying to update LicenceType depending on the Image that was used to create the volume. For example, you cannot update the LicenceType for a volume created from a ProfitBricks supplied OS image. |
Note: Trying to change the Image
, Type
, or AvailabilityZone
in an update request will result in an error.

Create an IP Block
Creates an IP block. Creating an IP block is a bit different than some of the other available create operations. IP blocks are not attached to a particular VDC, but rather to a location. Therefore, you must specify a valid location
along with a size
argument indicating the number of IP addresses you want to reserve in the IP block. Any resources using an IP address from an IP block must be in the same location
.
The following table describes the request arguments:
Name | Required | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|

ipblock | yes | object | An IPBlock object you wish to create. |
To create an IP block, define the IPBlock
resource object:
var ipblock = IpBlock{

Name: "GO SDK Test",
Size: 2,
Location: location,
},
}
Pass it to ReserveIpBlock
