Slack::Client

A basic Slack API client written in Ruby. Currently the client returns the raw JSON response it receives from Slack's server.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'slack-client'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install slack-client

require 'slack/client'

SLACK_API_TOKEN="<your Slack API token goes here>"

client = Slack::Client.new(token: SLACK_API_TOKEN)

puts client.users.list
puts client.channels.list
puts client.channels.history('C1234567')

We recommend installed jq, a flexible command-line JSON processor. Here are some basic commands:

$ slack help
$ slack config set SLACK_TOKEN="<your Slack API token goes here>"
$ slack users list
$ slack channels info
$ slack channels history C1234567

With jq, you can do things like

$ slack users list | jq '.members | map({(.id): .name})'

which will print out a list of Slack User ID + Name pairs.
