Slack, the "messaging app for teams" offers an API that has been used to build multiple projects around it, from bots to independent clients as well as integrations with other external services. This project aims to offer a low level experience for advanced users that want to either drop the web client or interact with the API for testing purpose.
go get -u github.com/cixtor/slackcli
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/cixtor/slackapi"
)
func main() {
client := slackapi.New()
fmt.Println(client.Version())
}
The client is built on top of the Bot Users documentation. Most if not all the methods available in the API are implemented and can be executed placing a colon character as the suffix of each method.
Note that the client runs with the same chat session of the user that is using the program, but technically speaking the interaction is similar to that of a bot. This offers some advantages, for example, like other APIs and integrations, bot users are free. Unlike regular users, the actions they can perform are somewhat limited. For teams on the Free Plan, each bot user counts as a separate integration.
