Usage Example

Initialize a client, and use the GetSchools function, passing lat/lon coordinates.

package main

import (
	"flag"
	"log"

	"encoding/json"

	"github.com/skyline-ai/greatschools"
)

var (
	lat   = flag.Float64("lat", 33.39657, "latitude")
	lon   = flag.Float64("lon", -112.03422, "longitude")
	level = flag.String("level", "", "school level")
)

func init() {
	flag.Parse()
}

func main() {
	c := greatschools.New()

	resp, err := c.GetSchools(&greatschools.Request{
		Lat:   *lat,
		Lon:   *lon,
		Level: *level,
	})

	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}

	j, err := json.MarshalIndent(resp.Results[0], " ", "\t")

	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}

	log.Printf("response: %s", j)

	// this will print for example:
	//     2017/02/08 12:07:13 response: {
	//  	"level": "e",
	//  	"schools": [
