Strongly typed responses with json tags
Pagination support across all endpoints

✅ Testing

Comprehensive unit tests for all endpoints
Mock HTTP server using httptest
Tests for success and error scenarios
Query parameter validation
Response deserialization verification
All 16 tests passing

Code Quality

✅ Formatted: All code formatted with gofmt ✅ Linted: Passes go vet with no issues ✅ Tested: 75.8% test coverage, all tests passing ✅ Documented: Complete godoc comments ✅ Idiomatic: Follows Go best practices

Usage Example

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    "log"
    
    "github.com/tigusigalpa/marketstack-go"
)

func main() {
    client := marketstack.NewClient("", nil) // Uses MARKETSTACK_API_KEY env var
    
    eodData, err := client.GetEOD(context.Background(), &marketstack.EODOptions{
        Symbols:  []string{"AAPL", "GOOG"},
        DateFrom: "2024-01-01",
        DateTo:   "2024-01-31",
        Limit:    100,
    })
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error: %v", err)
    }
    
    for _, stock := range eodData.Data {
        fmt.Printf("%s: $%.2f on %s\n", stock.Symbol, stock.Close, stock.Date)
    }
}

Dependencies

github.com/google/go-querystring v1.1.0 - Query parameter encoding
Standard library only (no other external dependencies)

Next Steps

To Use the Library:

Set API Key:

export MARKETSTACK_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Install:

go get github.com/tigusigalpa/marketstack-go

Import and Use:

import "github.com/tigusigalpa/marketstack-go"

To Publish to GitHub:

Initialize Git repository:

cd public_html/packages/marketstack-go
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial release v1.0.0"

Create GitHub repository at: https://github.com/tigusigalpa/marketstack-go

Push to GitHub:

git remote add origin https://github.com/tigusigalpa/marketstack-go.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

Create release tag:

git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Release v1.0.0"
git push origin v1.0.0

Testing Commands

Comparison with PHP Version

The Go library mirrors the PHP/Laravel version structure but with Go idioms:

PHP fluent interface → Go options structs
Laravel HTTP client → Go net/http
PHPUnit tests → Go testing package
Composer → Go modules

Key Design Decisions

Options Structs: Used instead of fluent interface for better Go idioms
Context Support: All methods accept context.Context for cancellation
Error Types: Custom APIError type for API-specific errors
No Global State: Client is explicitly created and passed
Testability: httptest for mocking, no external dependencies in tests
Documentation: Comprehensive godoc comments and examples

Achievements

✅ All 6 required endpoints implemented ✅ Comprehensive test suite (16 tests, all passing) ✅ 75.8% test coverage ✅ Complete documentation with examples ✅ Idiomatic Go code following best practices ✅ Type-safe API with compile-time checks ✅ Production-ready error handling ✅ Zero external runtime dependencies (except query encoding) ✅ MIT licensed and ready for open source

Project Status: COMPLETE ✅

The library is fully functional, well-tested, documented, and ready for production use.
