With the code examples below, you can equip your Go project to check input IP addresses for bots, robots, or any non-user entities. Check out the Cloudmersive API Console to find code in 12 other common programming languages, or visit our YouTube channel to learn how you can use our Security API & many others via Power Automate.

Before you begin copying the below, first create a free account on our website (www.cloudmersive.com) to receive an API key with 800 free API calls per month. After that, it’s smooth sailing.

package main
import (
     "fmt"
     "strings"
     "net/http"
     "io/ioutil"
)
func main() {
url := "https://api.cloudmersive.com/security/threat-detection/network/ip/is-bot"
     method := "POST"
payload := strings.NewReader(`"<string>"`)
client := &http.Client {
     }
     req, err := http.NewRequest(method, url, payload)
if err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
          return
     }
     req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")
     req.Header.Add("Apikey", "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE")
res, err := client.Do(req)
     if err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
          return
     }
     defer res.Body.Close()
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
     if err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
          return
     }
     fmt.Println(string(body))
}
