Go paypal REST API request - paypal

Question

So Im currently using Go and Im trying to create a payment for Paypal I been trying this code
payer := &Payer{"paypal"}
amount := &Amount{"EUR", "12"}
trans := &Transactions{amount, "A super test"}
uris := &Redirect_urls{"http://localhost", "http://localhost"}
p := &Payment{"sale", payer, trans, uris}
response, err := json.Marshal(p)
if err != nil {
log.Println("Error at PaypalPayment - buy controller")
log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Println(string(response))
client := &http.Client{}
buf := bytes.NewBuffer(response)
req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment", buf)
if err != nil {
log.Println("Error at PaypalPayment - buy controller - 2")
log.Fatal(err)
}
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer " + token.Access_token)
resp, err := client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
log.Println("Error at PaypalPayment - buy controller - 3")
log.Fatal(err)
}
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
log.Println("Error at PaypalPayment - buy controller - 4")
log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Println(string(body))
I already got the access token, the problem is Im getting this error on the response body (last line)
MALFORMED_REQUEST
The request Im using is this (as of the println)
{
"Intent":"sale",
"Payer":{
"Payment_method":"paypal"
},
"Transactions":{
"Amount":{
"Currency":"EUR",
"Total":"12"
},
"Description":"Super test"
},
"Redirect_urls":{
"Return_url":"http://localhost",
"Cancel_url":"http://localhost"
}
}
At my eyes seems a good request... no idea what im missing

Answer 1

As pointed out by #jcbwlkr you're casing doesn't match what is in the docs. If you don't have json tags on your types you'll have to add them. You have to keep the property names uppercase in Go because it's what marks the fields as being exported. If you're not familiar with this do a search for 'unexported vs exported fields golang'
For example your Payment structs definition needs to look like this;
type Payment struct {
Amount *Amount `json:"amount"`
Transactions *Transactions `json:"transactions"`
RdUrls *Redirect_urls `json:"redirect_urls"`
}
Also, just fyi you can use nest those declarations where you declare the payment so you don't have to assign to local instances of Amount, Transactions and Redirect_urls in order to do the declaration.
It's just like;
p := &Payment{"sale", payer, &Transactions{amount, "A super test"}, uris}

Answer 2

The problem was transactions needed to be an array. how blind I am
Transactions []*Transactions `json:"transactions"`
