+# Hello, APort! (Go Example)
+
+A minimal Go script demonstrating how to call the APort `/verify` endpoint.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [Go](https://go.dev/dl/) 1.21 or later
+- An APort API key
+
+## Setup
+
+1. **Get an APort API key** by signing up at [aport.io](https://aport.io)
+
+2. **Set your API key as an environment variable:**
+
+```bash
+export APORT_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
+```
+
+3. **(Optional) Set a custom API URL:**
+
+```bash
+export APORT_API_URL=https://api.aport.io/v1/verify
+```
+
+## Running
+
+```bash
+go run main.go
+```
+
+## Expected Output
+
+On success, you will see output similar to:
+
+```
+=== APort Verification Result ===
+Allowed: true
+```
+
+If the action is denied, reasons will be listed:
+
+```
+=== APort Verification Result ===
+Allowed: false
+Reasons denied:
+  - Action "code.deploy" is not authorized for this agent
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. The script reads your API key from the `APORT_API_KEY` environment variable
+2. Constructs a verification request with a sample passport ID, agent ID, action, and resource
+3. Sends a POST request to the APort `/verify` endpoint
+4. Parses the JSON response and displays whether the action is allowed
