handling Request URL for interactive messages

[hkhrais]

Description

While reading your example you have used verify_request() to verify the signature, this function does not exist in python-slack-events-api repo.

Is there a way to use python-slack-events-api to handle request URL for interactive messages (like button clicks) or do i need to build the low level verification on my own?

What type of issue is this? (place an x in one of the [ ])

@hkhrais
Thanks for asking this question! Unfortunately, we don't provide any official tools to handle user interactions (button click, select menu, modals, home tab etc) yet. However, in the near future (I cannot tell the date to ship it yet but at least within a few months), we'll come up with a comprehensive toolkit for Python developers. Until then, please do the request verification and payload handing on your own 🙇

FWIW here's a sample implementation: https://gist.github.com/dinvlad/cb2c3e8c8cd7905b832f38db92308c64

FYI: slackclient PyPI package supports request verification since v2.6.0
slackapi/python-slack-sdk#686

Ok, thanks! It turns out our slackclient was not updated, so I haven't seen this method there. I also found another one, slack.validate_slack_signature(), which is more low-level.
