To install FullContact Go client, use go get
:
go get github.com/fullcontact/fullcontact-go/fc
Then, reference fullcontact-go in a Go program with import
:
import fc "github.com/fullcontact/fullcontact-go/fc"
To update FullContact Go client to the latest version use:
go get -u github.com/fullcontact/fullcontact-go/fc
FullContact client supports v3 Enrich and Resolve APIs which are super simplified to easily enrich Person and Company data and Resolve fragmented customer data. All the API requests are over HTTPS using POST method with content sent as JSON. This library supports Multi Field Request, Person Enrichment & Data Packs, Company Enrichment & Data Packs and Webhooks. Just build a FullContact Client with your API Key, make a enrich request and get a response object back.
If you are not familiar with the Enrich API, complete details can be found @API documentation
FullContact Client provides an object layer to FullContact API communication, but understanding Enrich API, webhooks, request and response parameters, and common snags is still important.
Once you’re on board with the API behavior, FullContact Client library should simplify your integration.

FullContact client uses CredentialsProvider
interface for Authentication. Different ways
to provide authentication:
- Static API Key provider:
cp, err := fc.NewStaticCredentialsProvider("your-api-key")
- Through System Environment Variable:
//API Key is stored as Environment variable FC_API_KEY
cp, err := fc.NewDefaultCredentialsProvider("FC_API_KEY")
- If no
CredentialsProvider
is specified while making FullContact Client, it automatically looks for API key from Environment variable"FC_API_KEY"
(Don't have an API key? You can pick one up for free right here.)
Make your fcClient with:
Parameters | Description | Default value | isOptional |
---|---|---|---|
WithCredentialsProvider |
Used for Authentication | API Key through Environment variable"FC_API_KEY" |
No |
WithHeaders |
Any Custom Headers you want to add with every request, can include Reporting-Key as well. |
No additional header | Yes |
WithTimeout |
Connection timeout in millis for request | 3000ms | Yes |
WithRetryHandler |
type RetryHandler | DefaultRetryHandler |
Yes |
Please note that you don't have to provide Authorization
and Content-Type
in the
custom Headers map as these will be automatically added.
Custom headers provided will remain same and will be sent with every request made with this client.
If you wish to change the headers, make a new client with new custom headers.
type RetryHandler interface {
ShouldRetry(responseCode int) bool
RetryAttempts() int
RetryDelayMillis() int
}
In case of failure, FullContact Client will auto-retry for same request based on certain conditions set in RetryHandler
-
Although optional, a custom Retry handler can be created by implementing
RetryHandler
interface and then be used to make FC client. By default, client will useDefaultRetryHandler
to schedule a retry for same request, withretryAttempts = 1
,retryDelayMillis = 1000
, and in case of429
(rate limit error) or503
(capacity limit error). -
This Client will auto-retry for a maximum of 5 times, even if higher value is set in the custom Retry Handler.
fcClient, err := fc.NewFullContactClient(
fc.WithCredentialsProvider(cp),
fc.WithHeader(map[string]string{"Reporting-Key": "FC_GoClient_1.0.0"}),
fc.WithTimeout(3000))
MultiFieldReqiest provides the ability to match on one or many input fields. The more contact data inputs you can provide, the better. By providing more contact inputs, the more accurate and precise we can get with our identity resolution capabilities.
Several of FullContact Apis requires MultifieldRequest
requests, which can be constructed by using NewMultifieldRequest
and following are it's parameters.
Emails
: []stringPhones
: []stringLocation
: *LocationAddressLine1
: stringAddressLine2
: stringCity
: stringRegion
: stringRegionCode

Our V3 Person Enrich supports Multi Field Request: ability to match on one or many input fields
You can build a Person Request using NewPersonRequest
and setting different input parameters that you have. If you want to use Webhook, you can specify
it in webhookUrl
field.
API can lookup and enrich individuals by sending any identifiers you may already have,
such as:
Emails
: []stringPhones
: []stringLocation
: *LocationAddressLine1
: stringAddressLine2
: stringCity
: stringRegion
: stringRegionCode
: stringPostalCode
: string

profile, err := fc.NewProfile(
fc.WithUsername("bartlorang"),
fc.WithService("twitter"))
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
return
}
personRequest, err := fc.NewPersonRequest(
fc.WithEmail("[email protected]"),
fc.WithEmail("[email protected]"),
fc.WithName(&fc.PersonName{Full:"Bart Lorang",}),
fc.WithLocation(fc.NewLocation(
fc.WithAddressLine1("123 Main street"),
fc.WithAddressLine1("Unit2"),
fc.WithCity("Denver"),
fc.WithRegionForLocation("Colorado"))),
fc.WithProfile(profile),
fc.WithWebhookUrl(""),
fc.WithRecordId("customer123"),
fc.WithPersonId("eYxWc0B-dKRxerTw_uQpxCssM_GyPaLErj0Eu3y2FrU6py1J"))
You can send a request by calling PersonEnrich
on fcClient and passing personRequest
as a argument. It sends a Asynchronous request and a channel
of type APIResponse
is returned as response. You can then receive
response from this channel.
There is a flag isSuccessful
on APIResponse
to check
if the request was successful or not. If the request was unsuccessful, you can check the status code
and message to determine the cause.
//Sending Person Enrich request which returns a channel of type `APIResponse`
ch := fcClient.PersonEnrich(personRequest)
resp := <-ch
fmt.Printf("Person Enrich API Response: %v", resp)
if resp.IsSuccessful == true {
fmt.Printf("Person Response: %v", *resp.PersonResponse)
fmt.Println(resp.PersonResponse.FullName)
}
To Enrich Company data FullContact library provides the method Lookup by Company Domain. All available details of the company is available through the Lookup by Company Domain.
- Request:
companyEnrichRequest, err := fc.NewCompanyRequest(fc.WithDomain("fullcontact.com"))
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
return
}
- Response:
resp := <-fcClient.CompanyEnrich(companyEnrichRequest)
fmt.Printf("Company Enrich API Response: %v", resp)
if resp.IsSuccessful {
fmt.Printf("Company Name: %v", resp.CompanyResponse.Name)
}
identity.map
identity.resolve
identity.delete
identity.mapResolve
Resolve uses ResolveRequest
type for its request which supports
Multi Field Request: ability to match on one or many input fields
You can build a Resolve Request by using NewResolveRequest
and setting different input parameters that you have.
Note: For identity.map
and identity.mapResolve
any of email
, phone
, profile
, name & location
must be present.
API can lookup and resolve individuals by sending any identifiers you may already have, such as:
Emails
: []stringPhones
: []stringLocation
: *LocationAddressLine1
: stringAddressLine2
: stringCity
: stringRegion
: stringRegionCode

: stringPanoramaId
:stringGeneratePid
:bool
resolveRequest, err := fc.NewResolveRequest(
fc.WithRecordIdForResolve("r1"),
fc.WithEmailForResolve("[email protected]"))
All resolve methods returns a channel
of type APIResponse
from which you can get ResolveResponse
resp := <-fcClient.IdentityMap(resolveRequest)
fmt.Printf("Identity Map API Response: %v", resp)
if resp.IsSuccessful {
fmt.Printf("RecordIds Mapped: %v", resp.ResolveResponse.RecordIds)
}
resp = <-fcClient.IdentityResolve(resolveRequest)
fmt.Printf("Identity Resolve API Response: %v", resp)
if resp.IsSuccessful {
fmt.Printf("PersonIds Mapped: %v", resp.ResolveResponse.PersonIds)
}
resp = <-fcClient.IdentityMapResolve(resolveRequest)
fmt.Printf("Identity Map Resolve API Response: %v", resp)
if resp.IsSuccessful {
fmt.Printf("PersonIds Mapped: %v", resp.ResolveResponse.PersonIds)
}
resp = <-fcClient.IdentityDelete(resolveRequest)
fmt.Printf("Identity Delete API Response: %v", resp)
if resp.IsSuccessful {
fmt.Println("Record Deleted Successfully!")
}
tags.create
tags.get
tags.delete
FullContact provides the ability to store customer tags/metadata to each record within a customer's Private Identity Cloud for continuous updates, retrievals and deletes across both 1st party as well as 2nd party data partnerships.
Tags can be added while mapping records using identity.map
API or later using tags.create
API.
Once a Customer Record ID has been mapped, customer tags can continue to be added to the originally provided Record ID
- Request Parameters:
RecordId
: stringTags
: []*TagKey
: stringValue
: string
tagsRequest, err := fc.NewTagsRequest(fc.WithRecordIdForTags("k1"),
fc.WithTag(fc.NewTag(fc.WithTagKey("gender"), fc.WithTagValue("male"))))
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
return
}
// Sending Request
resp := <-fcClient.TagsCreate(tagsRequest)
fmt.Printf("\n\nTags Create API Response: %v", resp.TagsResponse)
This will return all customer tags that are associated to a mapped record using recordId
.
resp := <-fcClient.TagsGet("recordId")
fmt.Printf("\n\nTags Get API Response: %v", resp.TagsResponse)
This will remove specific or all customer tags that are attached to a mapped record.
tagsRequest, err := fc.NewTagsRequest(fc.WithRecordIdForTags("k1"),
fc.WithTag(fc.NewTag(fc.WithTagKey("gender"), fc.WithTagValue("male"))))
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
return
}
// Sending Request
resp := <-fcClient.TagsDelete(tagsRequest)
fmt.Printf("\n\nTags Delete API Response: %v", resp.Status)
audience.create
audience.download
This endpoint can be used in order to obtain multiple individuals based upon the key, value tag inputs (both are required as input) in order to suppress or take action upon certain audiences for data onboarding or audience analysis.
The Audience Creation endpoint requires a at least one Tag
and valid webhookURL
to be present in order to
send a message when the audience creation is complete and ready to be downloaded.
audienceRequest, err := fc.NewAudienceRequest(fc.WithWebhookUrlForAudience("your-webhookUrl"),
fc.WithTagForAudience(fc.NewTag(fc.WithTagKey("gender"), fc.WithTagValue("male"))))
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
return
}
resp := <-fcClient.AudienceCreate(audienceRequest)
fmt.Printf("\n\nAudience Create API Response: %v", resp.AudienceResponse)
if resp.IsSuccessful {
fmt.Println(resp.AudienceResponse.RequestId)
}
When audience.create
result is ready, requestId
from its response can be used to download the audience data.
A utility method is provided WriteAudienceBytesToFile(fileName string)
which generates a file in json.gz
format
with audience data bytes.
requestId := "730000fd-009a-00fc-8008-100e000085f0" //From the response of 'AudienceCreate'
resp := <-fcClient.AudienceDownload(requestId)
fmt.Printf("\n\nAudience Download API Response: %v", resp.AudienceResponse)
if resp.IsSuccessful {
resp.AudienceResponse.WriteAudienceBytesToFile(requestId + "_audienceFile.json.gz")
}
permission.create
permission.delete
permission.find
permission.current
permission.verify
Permission uses the following type of parameters for it's requests
PermissionRequest
for
permission.create
permission.verify
and MultifieldRequest
for
permission.delete
permission.find
permission.current
You can build a Permission Request by using NewPermissionRequest
and setting different input parameters that you have.
All permission methods returns a channel
of type APIResponse
from which you can get corresponding response classes.
The following are the corresponding response classes
PermissionCreatedResponse
- permission.createPermissionDeleteResponse
- permission.deletePermissionVerifyResponse
- permission.verifyPermissionFindResponse
- permission.findPermissionCurrentResponse
- permission.current
PermissionCreate
and PermissionVerify
