# Datadog API in Go

Hi!

This is a Go wrapper for the Datadog API. You should use this library if you need to interact
with the Datadog system. You can post metrics with it if you want, but this library is probably
mostly used for automating dashboards/alerting and retrieving data (events, etc).

The source API documentation is here: <http://docs.datadoghq.com/api/>

## USAGE

To use this project, include it in your code like:

``` go
    import "github.com/zorkian/go-datadog-api"
```

Then, you can work with it:

``` go
    client := datadog.NewClient("api key", "application key")
    
    dash, err := client.GetDashboard(10880)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("fatal: %s\n", err)
    }
    log.Printf("dashboard %d: %s\n", dash.Id, dash.Title)
```

That's all; it's pretty easy to use. Check out the Godoc link for the
available API methods and, if you can't find the one you need,
let us know (or patches welcome)!
