How can I make a request with a bearer token in Go

Question

I need to make a GET request to an API with a bearer token in the authorization request. How can I do this in Go? I have the following code, but I haven\'t had success.

Answer 1

I had to add a client.CheckRedirect Function(seen below) in order to pass the Bearer token to the API.

bearer := "Bearer " + token

    req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", url, bytes.NewBuffer(nil))
    req.Header.Set("Authorization", bearer)
    req.Header.Add("Accept", "application/json")

    client := &http.Client{}


    client.CheckRedirect = func(req *http.Request, via []*http.Request) error {
        for key, val := range via[0].Header {
            req.Header[key] = val
        }
        return err
    }
    resp, err := client.Do(req)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println("Error on response.\n[ERRO] -", err)
    } else {
        defer resp.Body.Close()
        data, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
        fmt.Println(string(data))
    }
}
