SDK status
There is no Go SDK. Call the REST API with the standard library.
Calling the API
go
package main
import (
"bytes"
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"net/http"
"os"
"time"
)
func main() {
body, _ := json.Marshal(map[string]any{
"parties": []map[string]string{{"name": "Acme Corp", "country": "US"}},
})
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.compliancegrid.ai/v1/compliance/restricted-party-screening", bytes.NewReader(body))
req.Header.Set("x-api-key", os.Getenv("CG_API_KEY"))
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
client := &http.Client{Timeout: 30 * time.Second}
res, err := client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer res.Body.Close()
var out struct {
Data struct {
OverallResult string `json:"overallResult"`
TotalMatches int `json:"totalMatches"`
} `json:"data"`
}
json.NewDecoder(res.Body).Decode(&out)
fmt.Println(res.StatusCode, out.Data.OverallResult, out.Data.TotalMatches)
}Set a client timeout (screening and AI calls can take several seconds), check res.StatusCode, and retry 429 and 5xx responses with backoff. A 429 carries a Retry-After header.
