Have your first go at Go with the IBM Watson Go SDK , a wrapper for the IBM Watson APIs. The SDK includes ready to use data structures and takes care of all the underlying HTTP requests including authentication. Using this SDK, developers can now easily integrate Watson services into their applications.

2. Instantiate the Watson service using the API key obtained above
3. Invoke the API endpoint using the service instance. For a successful response, it will contain the HTTP status code, response headers and API result
4. Handle responses and errors
Ready, Set, Go
Go ahead and explore the various capabilities of IBM Watson services with Go— from quickly building a simple chatbot to tagging and classifying visual content to unlocking hidden value in data to find answers and surface patterns.
There are also a bunch of examples for various services to help you get started. Play with the Go SDK and let us know what you think.
