Slack API in Go [![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/slack-go/slack.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/slack-go/slack)
===============

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

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
