Slack API in Go

This is the original Slack library for Go created by Norberto Lopez, 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.

Changelog

CHANGELOG.md is available. Please visit it for updates.

func main() {

    // 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.GetGroups(false)
    if err != nil {
