Slack API Wrapper

A library that provides a plain function-call interface to the Slack API web endpoints.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'slack-api-wrapper'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install 'slack-api-wrapper

Usage

You need to get an api token to use the ruby client. You can follow Slack documentation about it (https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth), or use omniauth-slack to get one.

# Initialize client
client = Slack::Client.new api_token

# Test user token
response = client.auth_test
puts "id: #{response['user_id']}, name: #{response['user']}"

# Get user teammates
response = client.users_list
response['members'].each do |user|
  puts "id: #{user['id']}, name: #{user['name']}"
end

# Get user channels
response = client.channels_list
response['channels'].each do |channel|
  puts "id: #{channel['id']}, name: #{channel['name']}"
end

# Get user private groups
response = client.groups_list
response['groups'].each do |group|
  puts "id: #{group['id']}, name: #{group['name']}"
end

# Posting a message
response = client.chat_post_message('channel'=> 'CXXXX', 'text'=> 'Testing Slack API', 'as_user'=> true)
