+# go-spiget
+
+go-spiget is a Go client library for accessing the [Spiget API v2](https://spiget.org/documentation).
+## Installation
+
+go-spiget is compatible with modern Go releases in module mode, with Go installed:
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/sunxyw/go-spiget
+```
+
+will resolve and add the package to the current development module, along with its dependencies.
+
+Alternatively the same can be achieved if you use import in a package:
+
+```go
+import "github.com/sunxyw/go-spiget"
+```
+
+and run `go get` without parameters.
+
+## Usage/Examples
+
+Construct a new Spiget client, then use the various services on the client to access different parts of the Spiget API.
+For example:
+
+```go
+client := spiget.NewClient(nil)
+
+// Get resource with ID 6245, PlaceholderAPI
+resource, _, err := client.Resources.Get(context.Background(), 6245)
+```
+
+Some API methods have optional parameters that can be passed. For example:
+
+```go
+opt := &spiget.ResourceSearchOptions{
+    Field: "name",
+}
+resources, _, err := client.Resources.Search(context.Background(), "PlaceholderAPI", opt)
+```
+
+The services of a client divide the API ito logical chunks and correspond to the structure of the Spiget API documentation at https://spiget.org/documentation .
+
+NOTE: Using the [context](https://godoc.org/context) package, one can easily pass cancelation signals and deadlines to various services of the client for handling a request. In case there is no context available, then context.Background() can be used as a starting point.
+
