This is an unofficial Go API wrapper for the Whistle smart pet collar. This wrapper handles authentication and interacting with all known endpoints.
Currently, the wrapper only focuses on reading from the API endpoints, though this may change in the future. Most of the endpoints do support standard CRUD actions, however.
If you have discovered endpoints not listed here, please open a PR or submit an issue.
If you're only here for the (previously) undocumented API endpoints provided by https://Whistle.com, check out the Thunder Tests folder. This folder contains the HTTP request collection supported by the Whistle V3 API.
Install the wrapper within your project via Go Get
go get github.com/amattu2/go-whistle-wrapperThe wrapper exposes two ways of instantiating a client.
With Bearer Token
If you already have a bearer token, you can instantiate a new wrapper via
whistle := whistle.InitializeBearer("API_TOKEN_HERE")This is useful for cases where you want to reduce overhead on page reload. You should ideally use this method as often as possible.
With API Key
**Note**: I believe this is deprecated and should not be used. The mobile application uses HTTP bearer, and this may be removed unpredictably.If you already have an API key (X-Whistle-AuthToken),
you can instantiate a new wrapper via
whistle := whistle.InitializeToken("API_TOKEN_HERE")This is useful for cases where you want to reduce overhead on page reload. You should ideally use this method as often as possible.
With Email/Password
If you don't have an active API key, but have credentials that work on the https://Whistle.com mobile app or on https://app.Whistle.com, you can instantiate a new wrapper via
whistle := whistle.Initialize("EMAIL", "PASSWORD")With Email/Refresh
If you don't have the HTTP bearer token cached, you can reauthenticate using your email and refresh token credentials. This would be preferred over storing a user's password in a cache somewhere. The refresh token is returned during authentication with a email/password.
whistle := whistle.InitializeRefreshToken("EMAIL", "TOKEN")Manually
In the event that you have an advanced need, you may also
initialize the wrapper directly. You only need email/password,
email/refresh_token, token, or bearer, but never all 4 options together.
If you provide a email and password or email and refresh_token,
a HTTP bearer will automatically be requested and stored on your first API query.
client := whistle.Client{
email: "ABC", // Option 1
password: "XYZ", // Option 1-1
refreshToken: "XYZ", // Option 1-2
token: "123", // Option 2
bearer: "abc12932", // Option 3
Timeout: 3000,
Env: whistle.ProdEnv, // Or: whistle.StagingEnv
UserAgent: "Custom User Agent",
}Important note: The Whistle.com API REQUIRES a Accept: application/vnd.whistle.com.v4+json
header to be present in almost ALL REQUESTS otherwise it will return 404.
Occasionally a endpoint (usually a deprecated one) will accept application/json.
