Why use this instead of the official SDKs?

It brings the same typed-question behavior with retries and validation to Go codebases on standard library only. Unknown future answer types arrive as preserved raw payloads instead of breaking programs.

What does a failed call look like to calling code?

Per-status typed errors work with errors.As, carrying status, body, headers, request ID, and endpoint. Helpers distinguish authentication, rate limit, and rejected-body cases, plus timeout and abort types.

Which failures retry automatically and how do I stop them?

Requests retry on 408, 429, 500 through 599, connection failures, and timeouts with backoff, jitter, and Retry-After support. Start from the default policy or disable entirely with the zero policy.

Will debug logging leak my API key to log output?

Debug logging includes bodies but redacts credential headers before they reach the logger. Explicit fields win over environment, which wins over defaults, and clients are safe for concurrent use.

What Go version and dependencies does typesafe-go need?

Go 1.23 or newer, and the SDK depends only on the standard library; install with go get github.com/lib-x/typesafe-go.

How are answers read in typesafe-go?

Answers holds every answer by question name, with typed helpers Nouls(), Choices() and Scores(); an unrecognized answer type arrives as UnknownAnswer with the raw payload preserved.

What is the default retry policy in typesafe-go?

Two retries with 500ms initial backoff, a 5s cap, 0.25 jitter, statuses 408, 429 and 500-599, Retry-After respected up to 60s, and retries for connection and timeout errors; a zero RetryPolicy disables them.

This is one of several Jev listings for the same project. The canonical entry is TypeSafe Go — sd109.

About this project

Go client for the TypeSafe AI API. TypeSafe answers typed questions about text or structured state. You describe the questions, it returns structured answers — probabilities, choices, and scores — instead of free-form text you have to parse. Requires Go 1.23 or newer. The SDK depends only on the standard library. Set TYPESAFEAPIKEY in the environment, or pass APIKey to typesafe.Config: Every question is keyed by the name you choose; answers come back under the same name.

Highlights

Builders cover noul, choice, score, structured JSON state, and raw validated questions with forward-compatible answers.
Typed answer maps return per-question subsets with token usage and the complete raw response body preserved.
Configuration reads explicit fields, then environment, then defaults, with per-call model, timeout, and header overrides.
Client is safe for concurrent use with context cancellation, per-attempt timeouts, and credential-redacted logging.

Watch out

Community-maintained with no TypeSafe affiliation; official SDKs cover JavaScript and Python. Copy reviewed against the repository README on 2026-10-04, not from running it.
