Cannot Figure out GO payload for XC Volterra API
I have been trying to send a body I am creating from a jinja template for creating an Origin Pool. I am using Go so I use gonja but either way, the template loads correctly. However, I cannot seem t...

I don’t know Go well, so I can’t tell where the error is happening. I’m not sure if the return type is from the Go program or from the XC API. By my likely very wrong assumptions and converting to python to understand and then reconverted back to go, perhaps some more robust json handling before the request would help? Here's what I got from chatGPT:
package main
import (
"bytes"
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"net/http"
"reflect"
)
func main() {
// Example JSON input (replace this with your actual JSON string)
jsonString := `{"key1": "value1", "key2": {"nestedKey": "nestedValue"}}`
// Debug: Print the JSON structure
fmt.Println("JSON String:", jsonString)
// Create a bytes buffer for the payload
payload := bytes.NewBuffer([]byte(jsonString))
// Print the type of payload
fmt.Println("Type of payload:", reflect.TypeOf(payload))
// Try to decode the JSON into a map
var data map[string]json.RawMessage
err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(jsonString), &data)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error unmarshaling JSON:", err)
// Handle other JSON types if needed
// Example: if the JSON is a string
var simpleString string
err = json.Unmarshal([]byte(jsonString), &simpleString)
if err == nil {
fmt.Println("JSON is a simple string:", simpleString)
} else {
// Handle additional cases as needed
fmt.Println("Unhandled JSON structure:", err)
}
return
}
// Successfully unmarshaled into a map
fmt.Println("Parsed JSON data:", data)
// Create an HTTP request
apiURL := "https://example.com/api" // Replace with your actual API URL
req, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodPost, apiURL, payload)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error creating request:", err)
return
}
// Debug: Print the request
fmt.Println("HTTP Request created:", req)
}

also in XC, if you go to the JSON tab in any workload or object you've created, you should have a good example to work from
