Testing a REST API with GoConvey

I am writing a simple service and was wondering how should I approach testing the REST API Endpoints using GoConvey?

Ideally I believe I would have to launch my server to test it against, but for some reason I am not able to wrap my head around on how to do it with Go.

I am using the vanilla net/http stack for this service and mgo for the database.

Any idea and help would be very welcomed :)

Thanks!
