ShopSavvy Go SDK

A Go client for the ShopSavvy Data API. Idiomatic Go with context support, structured errors, and zero dependencies beyond the standard library.

Set up ShopSavvy Go SDK

1. 1

   Get a ShopSavvy Data API key

   Create a key at shopsavvy.com/data. Keys look like ss_live_ followed by 32 characters. Keep it out of source control.

2. 2

   Install

   Add the ShopSavvy SDK to your project:

   go get github.com/shopsavvy/sdk-go

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Set the SHOPSAVVY_API_KEY environment variable to your key (shell, .env file or your secrets manager), or pass it to the client as the README shows.

4. 4

   Make your first call

   From the shopsavvy/sdk-go README (30-Second Quick Start):

   // Install
   // go get github.com/shopsavvy/sdk-go
   
   // Use
   package main
   
   import (
       "fmt"
       "log"
       "github.com/shopsavvy/sdk-go"
   )
   
   func main() {
       client, _ := shopsavvy.NewClient("ss_live_your_api_key_here")
       defer client.Close()
       
       product, _ := client.GetProductDetails("012345678901")
       offers, _ := client.GetCurrentOffers("012345678901", "")
       
       bestPrice := offers.Data[0].Price
       bestRetailer := offers.Data[0].Retailer
       for _, offer := range offers.Data {
           if offer.Price < bestPrice {
               bestPrice = offer.Price
               bestRetailer = offer.Retailer
           }
       }
       
       fmt.Printf("%s - Best price: $%.2f at %s\n", product.Data.Name, bestPrice, bestRetailer)
   }

   )
   
   // Basic configuration
   client, err := shopsavvy.NewClient("ss_live_your_api_key_here")
   
   // Advanced configuration
   client, err := shopsavvy.NewClient(
       "ss_live_your_api_key_here",
       shopsavvy.WithTimeout(60*time.Second),           // Request timeout
       shopsavvy.WithBaseURL("https://api.shopsavvy.com/v1"), // Custom base URL
       shopsavvy.WithRetryAttempts(3),                  // Retry failed requests
       shopsavvy.WithUserAgent("MyApp/1.0.0"),          // Custom user agent
   )

Features

Use Cases

What data, how often, which direction

Data

Product records, current offers from tens of thousands of retailers and price history back to 2011, dense from 2019, from the ShopSavvy Data API. Prices are in US dollars.

How often

Every offer carries the time it was last checked. With the Data API you can schedule refreshes hourly, daily or weekly for retailers we can re-check through an official retailer API; other retailers update as ShopSavvy sees them.

Direction

ShopSavvy data flows into your code. Requests carry only what you ask about (identifiers, search terms or schedules) and your API key.
