gohost

Gohost is a library that wraps Cohost's public API!

Current Features

• Can start a user session given an email and password, or a cookie
• Can retrieve posts from your projects
• Can post and edit posts on editable projects
• Can use the requests package to make custom requests to Cohost API endpoints

Installation

go get github.com/curtywill/gohost

Getting Started

Before anything can be done with Gohost, you need an authenticated user. This can be done with a cookie:
user, err := gohost.LoginWithCookie(nil, "your_cookie")
or with an email and password:
user, err := gohost.LoginWithPass(nil, "email", "password")
(Note: passing nil to these functions means http.DefaultClient will be used for all requests, send a custom client if that's unsatisfactory)

Cohost Terminology

• Project: page that a user can edit
• Blocks: the blocks of attachments and text that make up posts. Get representations of these using the Attachment and Markdown structs.

Upcoming Features

• View a post's share tree
• View comments on posts
• More support for drafts
• More stuff that hasn't crossed my mind yet

Thanks

• cohost.py: HUGE shoutout to Valknight for giving me a great example to follow in building this
• cohost.js: obligatory thank you by the transitive property
• Go: had to dig through the Go source to figure out multipart forms and the mime package, most readable source for a language I've ever seen
