Rabbit Hole, a RabbitMQ HTTP API Client for Go

This library is a RabbitMQ HTTP API client for the Go language.

Supported Go Versions

Rabbit Hole targets two latests stable Go versions available at the time of the library release. Older versions may work but this is not guaranteed.

Supported RabbitMQ Versions

• All currently supported RabbitMQ versions
• RabbitMQ 3.9.x will be the minimum supported release series starting with Rabbit Hole 3.0
• Almost all API operations work against RabbitMQ 3.8.x nodes. Some metrics and stats may be missing.
• RabbitMQ 3.8.x and older versions have reached end of general support

All versions require RabbitMQ Management UI plugin to be installed and enabled.

Build Status

Project Maturity

Rabbit Hole is a mature library (first released in late 2013) designed after a couple of other RabbitMQ HTTP API clients with stable APIs. Breaking API changes are not out of the question but not without a reasonable version bump.

It is largely feature complete and decently documented.

Change Log

If upgrading from an earlier release, please consult with the change log.

Installation

go get github.com/michaelklishin/rabbit-hole/v2

# or, for v1.x:

Overview

To import the package:

import (
       "github.com/michaelklishin/rabbit-hole/v2"
)

All HTTP API operations are accessible via rabbithole.Client, which should be instantiated with rabbithole.NewClient:

// URI, username, password
rmqc, _ = NewClient("http://127.0.0.1:15672", "guest", "guest")

TLS (HTTPS) can be enabled by adding an HTTP transport to the parameters of rabbithole.NewTLSClient:

transport := &http.Transport{TLSClientConfig: tlsConfig}
rmqc, _ := NewTLSClient("https://127.0.0.1:15672", "guest", "guest", transport)

RabbitMQ HTTP API has to be configured to use TLS.
