dlt-source-slack 0.0.1

DLT (dlthub.com) source for Slack (slack.com)

dlt-source-slack

DLT source for slack.

Currently loads the following data:

Table	Contains
users	Items of the users model

Why are you not using the dlt-hub/verified-sources slack source / Differences

The official verified source has a few drawbacks:

• on usage of the verified source, a copy of the current state of the dlt-hub/verified-sources repository is copied into your project; Once you make changes to it, it effectively becomes a fork, making it hard to update after the fact.
• This makes use of a preexisting client implementation

Usage

Create a .dlt/secrets.toml with your API token (see dlt_source_slack/manifest.yml for a Slack app manifest that has the necessary credentials):

slack_bot_token = "xoxb-..."

and then run the default source with optional list references:

from dlt_source_slack import source as slack_source

pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
   pipeline_name="slack_pipeline",
   destination="duckdb",
   dev_mode=True,
)
slack_data = slack_source()
pipeline.run(slack_data)

Development

This project is using devenv.

Commands:

Command	What does it do?
format	Formats & lints all code
sample-pipeline-run	Runs the sample pipeline.
sample-pipeline-show	Starts the streamlit-based dlt hub

Run the sample

SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=[xoxb-...] \
  sample-pipeline-run

alternatively you can also create a .dlt/secrets.toml (excluded from git) with the following content:

slack_bot_token = "xoxb-..."
