Go Client

Zero external dependencies — stdlib only. Go 1.22+. Non-blocking Track() with automatic batching via a background goroutine. Safe for concurrent use. Designed to never crash the host application.

Install

go get github.com/wirelogai/wirelog-go

Quick start

package main

import "github.com/wirelogai/wirelog-go"

func main() {
    client := wirelog.New(wirelog.Config{APIKey: "sk_your_secret_key"})
    defer client.Close()

    client.Track(wirelog.Event{
        EventType:       "signup",
        UserID:          "u_123",
        EventProperties: map[string]any{"plan": "free"},
    })
}

Config

wirelog.New(wirelog.Config{...})

Field	Type	Default	Notes
APIKey	string	WIRELOG_API_KEY env var	pk_, sk_, or aat_
Host	string	WIRELOG_HOST env var or https://api.wirelog.ai	API base URL
BatchSize	int	10	Max events per batch. Capped at 2000
FlushInterval	time.Duration	2s	Max time between automatic flushes
QueueSize	int	10000	In-memory event buffer capacity
HTTPTimeout	time.Duration	30s	Per-request HTTP timeout
OnError	func(error)	nil	Background error callback (must be goroutine-safe)
Disabled	bool	false	Disables tracking. Query/Identify still work
RateLimit	wirelog.RateLimitConfig	Backend profile	Per-instance burst, sustained, and payload limits; see below

The Go SDK assumes one process may aggregate an application’s backend traffic. Its zero-value RateLimit defaults match WireLog’s standard project ingestion envelope:

Limit	Default
Events/second	200
Burst	2000
Events/minute	10000
Events/hour	500000
Events/rolling 24h	10000000
Event payload	65536 bytes

Configure smaller values for a narrowly scoped producer. Set RateLimit.Disabled: true only when another trusted layer provides flood and payload protection.

Methods

Track()

client.Track(event wirelog.Event)

Enqueue an event for asynchronous delivery. Never blocks, never returns an error. If the queue is full, the event is dropped and OnError is called.

Auto-generates insert_id and time if not set.

client.Track(wirelog.Event{
    EventType:       "purchase",
    UserID:          "u_123",
    EventProperties: map[string]any{"plan": "pro", "amount": 49},
})

Flush()

client.Flush(ctx context.Context) error

Block until all buffered events are sent, or the context is cancelled.

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
defer cancel()
client.Flush(ctx)

Close()

client.Close() error

Flush remaining events and stop the background worker. After Close(), Track() calls are silently dropped. Idempotent.

defer client.Close()

Query()

client.Query(ctx context.Context, q string, opts ...wirelog.QueryOption) (any, error)

Run a pipe DSL query. Returns a Markdown string (llm), decoded JSON (json), or CSV string (csv).

Option	Type	Default	Notes
WithFormat(f)	string	"llm"	"llm", "json", "csv"
WithLimit(n)	int	100	Max 10,000
WithOffset(n)	int	0	Pagination offset

// Markdown table (default)
md, err := client.Query(ctx, "* | last 30d | count by event_type | top 10")

// JSON
data, err := client.Query(ctx, "page_view | last 7d | count", wirelog.WithFormat("json"))

// CSV with pagination
csv, err := client.Query(ctx, "* | last 90d | count by event_type",
    wirelog.WithFormat("csv"),
    wirelog.WithLimit(10000),
)

Identify()

client.Identify(ctx context.Context, params wirelog.IdentifyParams) (*wirelog.IdentifyResult, error)

Bind a device to a user and upsert profile properties.

result, err := client.Identify(ctx, wirelog.IdentifyParams{
    UserID:   "alice@acme.org",
    DeviceID: "dev_abc",
    UserProperties: map[string]any{"email": "alice@acme.org"},
    UserPropertyOps: &wirelog.UserPropertyOps{
        Set:     map[string]any{"plan": "enterprise"},
        SetOnce: map[string]any{"signup_source": "ads"},
        Add:     map[string]float64{"login_count": 1},
        Unset:   []string{"legacy_flag"},
    },
})
// result.OK == true

Event struct

type Event struct {
    EventType        string         `json:"event_type"`
    UserID           string         `json:"user_id,omitempty"`
    DeviceID         string         `json:"device_id,omitempty"`
    SessionID        string         `json:"session_id,omitempty"`
    EventProperties  map[string]any `json:"event_properties,omitempty"`
    UserProperties   map[string]any `json:"user_properties,omitempty"`
    InsertID         string         `json:"insert_id,omitempty"`
    Origin           string         `json:"origin,omitempty"`
    Time             string         `json:"time,omitempty"`
    Library          string         `json:"library,omitempty"`
}

InsertID, Time, and Library are auto-generated if empty.

Batching and reliability

• Events are buffered in a channel and flushed by a background goroutine
• Flush triggers: batch reaches BatchSize (default 10) or FlushInterval elapses (default 2s)
• Transient failures (429, 5xx) are retried with exponential backoff (up to 3 retries)
• Permanent failures (4xx) are reported to OnError and not retried
• Rate-limit and payload rejections are reported to OnError; inspect cumulative rate-limit drops with RateLimitStats()
• Queue overflow: newest events are dropped; ErrQueueFull is reported to OnError
• The background worker recovers from panics

Track() is deliberately non-blocking and memory-bounded, so it does not offer durable delivery. Applications that cannot tolerate telemetry loss must monitor OnError outside WireLog and retain the source-of-truth record separately.

---

Error handling

Query() and Identify() return *wirelog.APIError on non-2xx responses.

result, err := client.Query(ctx, "bad query")
if err != nil {
    var apiErr *wirelog.APIError
    if errors.As(err, &apiErr) {
        fmt.Println(apiErr.StatusCode) // HTTP status code
        fmt.Println(apiErr.Body)       // Response body
    }
}

Track() never returns errors. Background errors (failed flushes, dropped events) are reported via the OnError callback:

client := wirelog.New(wirelog.Config{
    APIKey: "sk_your_key",
    OnError: func(err error) {
        log.Printf("wirelog: %v", err)
    },
})

---

Sentinel errors

Error	When
wirelog.ErrClosed	Operation attempted on a closed client
wirelog.ErrQueueFull	Event dropped because the queue is at capacity
wirelog.ErrRateLimited	Event dropped by a configured burst or sustained limit
wirelog.ErrPayloadTooLarge	Event dropped because it exceeded MaxEventBytes
