I'd name this something like:
| f, err := os.Create(filepath.Join(r.path, apiFile+"-tmp")) | |
| f, err := os.Create(filepath.Join(r.path, "." + apiFile+".tmp")) |

If we fail to rename the temporary file, let's remove it.

I would like to keep as it is. It feels like too much defensive programming.
When users run the program next time, newly created tmp will override the existing tmp file.
If you like to remove, I'll add code to remove the tmp file if rename fails

Well, it is defensive programming. While this is unlikely to fail on Linux, renaming can fail on Windows if some other user is accessing the API file at the same time. Yes, we'll end up deleting the temporary file later, but that isn't a reason to not at least try to clean it up early.

Made changes. Thanks for the explaining the reason.
