Building a RESTful API with Go and Gin

Building a RESTful API using the Go programming language and the Gin framework is a popular choice due to Go's lightweight nature and the performance and scalability offered by Gin. This tutorial guides users through the creation of a simple API endpoint that retrieves a randomly generated credit score, demonstrating the basics of REST API development. Key steps include setting up the project environment by installing Go, using an IDE, and testing with Postman. The process involves initializing a Go project, creating a main.go file, importing necessary dependencies, defining a function for generating credit scores, and setting up a GET endpoint to serve the API. The tutorial concludes by suggesting further enhancements such as securing the API, integrating with an API gateway, and exploring API analytics and monetization options with Moesif, a platform offering API observability and growth tools.
