Slack API in Go Go Reference

This is the original Slack library for Go created by Norberto Lopes, transferred to a Github organization.

logo

This library supports most if not all of the api.slack.com REST calls, as well as the Real-Time Messaging protocol over websocket, in a fully managed way.

Project Status

There is currently no major version released. Therefore, minor version releases may include backward incompatible changes.

See CHANGELOG.md or Releases for more information about the changes.

Installing

go get

$ go get -u github.com/slack-go/slack

Example

Getting all groups

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/slack-go/slack"
)

func main() {
	api := slack.New("YOUR_TOKEN_HERE")
	// If you set debugging, it will log all requests to the console
	// Useful when encountering issues
	// slack.New("YOUR_TOKEN_HERE", slack.OptionDebug(true))
	groups, err := api.GetUserGroups(false)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("%s\n", err)
		return
	}
	for _, group := range groups {
		fmt.Printf("ID: %s, Name: %s\n", group.ID, group.Name)
	}
}

Getting User Information

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/slack-go/slack"
)

func main() {
    api := slack.New("YOUR_TOKEN_HERE")
    user, err := api.GetUserInfo("U023BECGF")
    if err != nil {
	    fmt.Printf("%s\n", err)
	    return
    }
    fmt.Printf("ID: %s, Fullname: %s, Email: %s\n", user.ID, user.Profile.RealName, user.Profile.Email)
