Last Updated:Mar 31, 2026

Install the AI Guardrails SDK for Go and configure your credentials to start calling Content Moderation APIs.

Prerequisites

Go 1.10.0 or later is required. Verify your current version:

go version

Install the SDK

  1. Download the AI Guardrails SDK for Go.

  2. Run the following command to install AI Guardrails SDK for Go:

    go get -u github.com/aliyun/alibaba-cloud-sdk-go/sdk
  3. Add the SDK import path to your source file:

    import "github.com/aliyun/alibaba-cloud-sdk-go/services/green"

Configure environment variables

The SDK reads your AccessKey pair from two environment variables: ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID and ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET. Set these before running any SDK code.

Linux/macOS:

export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your-access-key-id>
export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET=<your-access-key-secret>

Windows (Command Prompt):

set ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your-access-key-id>
set ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET=<your-access-key-secret>

For other credential types (RAM roles, STS tokens), see Configure credentials.
