Scrappy Twitter API

Scrappy Twitter API is a Go-backend project that is secured by the Magic SDK for Go.

Scrappy Twitter API (SERVER)

This Go server is where all of the Scrappy Twitter API requests are handled. Once the user has generated a Decentralised ID Token (DIDT) from the client side, they can pass it into their Request Header as a Bearer token to hit protected endpoints.

API Routes

• POST a tweet (protected): http://localhost:8080/tweet
• GET all tweets (unprotected): http://localhost:8080/tweets
• GET a single tweet (unprotected): http://localhost:8080/tweet/1
• DELETE a tweet (protected): http://localhost:8080/tweet/2

Noteworthy Dependencies

• gorilla/handlers: Lets us enable CORS.
• gorilla/mux: Lets us build a powerful HTTP router and URL matcher.
• magic-admin-go/client: Lets us instantiate the Magic SDK for Go.
• magic-admin-go/token: Lets us create a Token instance.
