If you want to send a message as your app, or as a user, this method can do both. One of the most common use-cases is sending a message to Slack. More detailed examples can be found in our Basic Usage guide. We have a basic example here with some of the more common uses but a full list of the available methods are available here. This Development Kit is a module based wrapper that makes interaction with that API easier. Slack provide a Web API that gives you the ability to build applications that interact with Slack in a variety of ways. Read the tutorial to get started! Basic Usage of the Web Client Use it to give you an idea of how to use this SDK. It focuses on the interacting with Slack's Web and RTM API. It requires some general programming knowledge, and Python basics. We've created this tutorial to build a basic Slack app in less than 10 minutes. We recommend using PyPI to install the Slack Developer Kit for Python. Note: You may need to use python3 before your commands to ensure you use the correct Python path. If you're unsure how to check what version of Python you're on, you can check it using the following: If you require Python 2, please use our SlackClient - v1.x. This library requires Python 3.6 and above. Details on the Tokens and Authentication can be found in our Auth Guide.ĭetails on the Tokens and Authentication can be found in our Auth Guide. If you want to use our Events API and Interactivity features, please check the library. The Slack web api methods available at our Api Docs site.

Whether you're building a custom app for your team, or integrating a third party service into your Slack workflows, Slack Developer Kit for Python allows you to leverage the flexibility of Python to get your project up and running as quickly as possible. The Python slackclient library is a developer kit for interfacing with the Slack Web API and Real Time Messaging (RTM) API on Python 3.6 and above.Ĭomprehensive documentation on using the Slack Python can be found at Refer to the migration guide to learn how to smoothly migrate your existing code. The v3 SDK provides more functionalities such as Socket Mode, OAuth flow module, SCIM API, Audit Logs API, better asyncio support, retry handlers, and many more.

This slackclient PyPI project is in maintenance mode now and slack-sdk project is the successor.
