I have been working with Go and the Bitmex API.
I have the following Bitmex api endpoint:
https://www.bitmex.com/api/v1/leaderboard
This returns an array of JSON objects structured as follows.
[
{
"name": "string",
"isRealName": true,
"profit": 0
}
]
However I get the following incorrect representation of the JSON when I marshal it.
[{0 false } {0 false } ... ]
I know my HTTP request is going through, as when I print the response.Body I get the following
[{"profit":256915996199,"isRealName":true,"name":"angelobtc"} ... ]
Here is the struct I am using to store the marshaled data.
type LeaderboardResponse struct {
profit float64 `json:"profit"`
isRealName bool `json:"isRealName"`
name string `json:"name"`
}
And my main method
func main() {
response, errorResponse := http.Get("https://www.bitmex.com/api/v1/leaderboard")
if response.Status == "200 OK"{
if errorResponse != nil {
fmt.Printf("The HTTP request failed with error %s
",errorResponse)
} else {
body, errorBody := ioutil.ReadAll(response.Body)
if errorBody != nil {
fmt.Println("There was an error retrieving the body", errorBody)
} else {
leaderboard := []LeaderboardResponse{}
json.Unmarshal([]byte(body),&leaderboard)
if leaderboard != nil {
fmt.Println(leaderboard);
//The result of the statement above and the one below are different
fmt.Println(string(body))
} else {
fmt.Println("leaderboard array is undefined")
}
defer response.Body.Close()
}
}
} else {
fmt.Println("Response received with status ", string(response.Status))
}
}
It appears that the values of struct have not been modifies despite it being assigned the marshaled JSON body
How do I fix this issue?
