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.

You can also chat with us on the #slack-go, #slack-go-ja Slack channel on the Gophers Slack.

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](https://github.com/slack-go/slack/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) or [Releases](https://github.com/slack-go/slack/releases) for more information about the changes.

## Installing

### *go get*

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

## Example

### Getting all groups

```golang
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

```golang
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)
}
```

## Minimal Socket Mode usage:

See https://github.com/slack-go/slack/blob/master/examples/socketmode/socketmode.go

## Minimal RTM usage:

As mentioned in https://api.slack.com/rtm - for most applications, Socket Mode is a better way to communicate with Slack.

See https://github.com/slack-go/slack/blob/master/examples/websocket/websocket.go

## Minimal EventsAPI usage:

See https://github.com/slack-go/slack/blob/master/examples/eventsapi/events.go
