Look up information about an SSH key by its label. Demonstrates how to use the SDK's filter utility to apply an objectFilter to limit a result set
package main

    "github.com/softlayer/softlayer-go/services"
    "github.com/softlayer/softlayer-go/session"
)

// The key to look up
const label = "Test Public Key"

func main() {
    sess := session.New()
    service := services.GetAccountService(sess)

    keys, err := service.
        Filter(filter.Build(
            filter.Path("sshKeys.label").Eq(label))).
        Mask("id,label,key,fingerprint,notes").
        GetSshKeys()

    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal("Error retrieving SSH key: ", err)
    }

    if len(keys) == 0 {
        log.Fatal("No ssh key found labeled ", label)
    }

    if len(keys) > 1 {
        log.Fatal("More than one ssh key found labeled ", label)
    }

    key := keys[0]

    fmt.Printf("Public Key [%s] found:\n", label)

    fmt.Println("\tID:", *key.Id)
    fmt.Println("\tFingerprint:", *key.Fingerprint)
    fmt.Println("\tKey:", *key.Key)
