A Go Client for VICIdial's API That Actually Handles the Response Format

VICIdial's API is powerful but its response format is chaotic. Some functions return pipe-delimited fields. Some return newline-separated records. Some return a mix. Authentication is via query parameters, not headers. Errors return HTTP 200. Building a proper client library means parsing all of this once so you never think about it again. We chose Go for our production VICIdial integrations for three reasons: goroutines handle concurrent polling of 200 agents without thread pool management, a single 8MB binary deploys by copying it to the server, and when processing thousands of lead records for scoring, Go never becomes the bottleneck. The Core Client The client struct wraps http.Client with connection pooling, adds VICIdial authentication to every request, and parses the SUCCESS: / ERROR: response format into Go errors. client := vicidial .
