Slack API

Getting Started with Slack Web API

Introduction

One way to interact with the Slack platform is its HTTP RPC-based Web API, a collection of methods requiring OAuth 2.0-based user, bot, or workspace tokens blessed with related OAuth scopes.

Learn more about the Slack Web API: https://api.slack.com/web

Install the Package

The package is compatible with Python versions 3.7+. Install the package from PyPi using the following pip command:

pip install slack-api-sdk-apimatic==1.1.2

You can also view the package at: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/slack-api-sdk-apimatic/1.1.2

Initialize the API Client

Note: Documentation for the client can be found here.

The following parameters are configurable for the API Client:

Parameter	Type	Description
environment	Environment	The API environment. Default: Environment.PRODUCTION
http_client_instance	Union[Session, HttpClientProvider]	The Http Client passed from the sdk user for making requests
override_http_client_configuration	bool	The value which determines to override properties of the passed Http Client from the sdk user
http_call_back	HttpCallBack	The callback value that is invoked before and after an HTTP call is made to an endpoint
timeout	float	The value to use for connection timeout. Default: 30
max_retries	int	The number of times to retry an endpoint call if it fails. Default: 0
backoff_factor	float	A backoff factor to apply between attempts after the second try. Default: 2
retry_statuses	Array of int	The http statuses on which retry is to be done. Default: [408, 413, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504, 521, 522, 524]
retry_methods	Array of string	The http methods on which retry is to be done. Default: ["GET", "PUT"]
proxy_settings	ProxySettings	Optional proxy configuration to route HTTP requests through a proxy server.
logging_configuration	LoggingConfiguration	The SDK logging configuration for API calls
authorization_code_auth_credentials	AuthorizationCodeAuthCredentials	The credential object for OAuth 2 Authorization Code Grant

The API client can be initialized as follows:

Code-Based Client Initialization

import logging

from slackwebapi.configuration import Environment
from slackwebapi.http.auth.oauth_2 import AuthorizationCodeAuthCredentials
from slackwebapi.logging.configuration.api_logging_configuration import LoggingConfiguration
from slackwebapi.logging.configuration.api_logging_configuration import RequestLoggingConfiguration
from slackwebapi.logging.configuration.api_logging_configuration import ResponseLoggingConfiguration
from slackwebapi.models.oauth_scope import OauthScope
from slackwebapi.slackwebapi_client import SlackwebapiClient

client = SlackwebapiClient(
    authorization_code_auth_credentials=AuthorizationCodeAuthCredentials(
        oauth_client_id='OAuthClientId',
        oauth_client_secret='OAuthClientSecret',
        oauth_redirect_uri='OAuthRedirectUri',
        oauth_scopes=[
            OauthScope.ADMIN,
            OauthScope.ADMIN_APPSREAD
        ]
    ),
    environment=Environment.PRODUCTION,
    logging_configuration=LoggingConfiguration(
        log_level=logging.INFO,
        request_logging_config=RequestLoggingConfiguration(
            log_body=True
        ),
        response_logging_config=ResponseLoggingConfiguration(
            log_headers=True
        )
    )
)

Environment-Based Client Initialization

from slackwebapi.slackwebapi_client import SlackwebapiClient

# Specify the path to your .env file if it’s located outside the project’s root directory.
client = SlackwebapiClient.from_environment(dotenv_path='/path/to/.env')

See the Environment-Based Client Initialization section for details.

Environments

The SDK can be configured to use a different environment for making API calls. Available environments are:

Fields

Name	Description
PRODUCTION	Default

Authorization

This API uses the following authentication schemes.

• slackAuth (OAuth 2 Authorization Code Grant)
