slackest 0.13.2

Slack API client

About

Slackest is a full-featured Python interface for the Slack API.

Examples

from slackest import Slackest

slack = Slackest('<your-slack-api-token-goes-here>')

# Send a message to #general channel
slack.conversation.post_message('#general', 'Hello fellow slackers!')

# Get users list
response = slack.users.list()
users = response.body['members']

# Upload a file
slack.files.upload('hello.txt')

# If you need to proxy the requests
proxy_endpoint = 'http://myproxy:3128'
slack = Slackest('<your-slack-api-token-goes-here>',
                http_proxy=proxy_endpoint,
                https_proxy=proxy_endpoint)

# Advanced: Use `request.Session` for connection pooling (reuse)
from requests.sessions import Session
with Session() as session:
    slack = Slackest(token, session=session)
    slack.conversation.post_message('#general', 'All these requests')
    slack.conversation.post_message('#general', 'go through')
    slack.conversation.post_message('#general', 'a single https connection')

Installation

$ pip install slackest

CICD

This project uses AWS CodeBuild to build. CodeBuild uses a YAML-based file called builspec.yml that runs the appropriate commands.

A wheel and a source distribution is provided according to the buildspec.

Building Locally

For local build testing, use the local CodeBuild image. See this AWS blog post <https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/announcing-local-build-support-for-aws-codebuild/> for more details.
