Transaction enrichment library for Go
Use TxnKit as a transaction enrichment API from Go. This page shows the safe request shape, a short code snippet, and the boundary for keeping sensitive data out of the integration.
Target intent
Go backend services enriching transaction descriptors with a bounded HTTP call.
TxnKit does not add live merchant research, crawling, or logo-provider calls to your service.
Raw descriptor
SQ *JOES COFFEE 0421 TORONTOShort Go API snippet
payload := strings.NewReader(`{"raw_description":"SQ *JOES COFFEE 0421 TORONTO","country":"CA"}`)
request, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.txnkit.dev/v1/enrich", payload)
request.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("TXNKIT_API_KEY"))
request.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
client := &http.Client{Timeout: time.Second}
response, err := client.Do(request)Keep API keys out of browser bundles. For frontend stacks, call a backend route or serverless function that owns the TxnKit request.
API-shaped output
{
"input": {
"descriptor": "SQ *JOES COFFEE 0421 TORONTO",
"country": "CA"
},
"output": {
"merchant_name": "Joes Coffee",
"category": "Coffee shop",
"confidence": "medium",
"signals": [
"processor_pattern",
"merchant_alias",
"category_hint"
],
"warnings": [
"review_low_confidence_matches_before_showing_logo"
],
"logos": []
}
}Low-confidence results should keep fallback labels and warnings visible instead of forcing a guessed logo or website.
When to use
- You are building in Go and need one-descriptor merchant cleanup through an HTTP API.
- Your app can keep the TxnKit API key on the server side or inside a trusted serverless function.
- You need merchant display names, categories, confidence, signals, warnings, and logo-ready metadata.
When not to use
- TxnKit does not add live merchant research, crawling, or logo-provider calls to your service.
- Do not use TxnKit to process card numbers, account numbers, full statements, bank credentials, emails, phone numbers, addresses, customer names, or customer PII.
- Do not use TxnKit when the product requirement is guaranteed merchant identity, every-merchant resolution, or contracted uptime terms.
Proof surfaces
The public contract is POST /v1/enrich, backed by the OpenAPI file, benchmark examples, privacy rules, and deterministic request-path tests.
