A Python module to access Slack's API from user-space, to circumvent all the artificial API limitations put in by greedy Salesforce. 🤑
Why slackish
?
While there exists an official Slack client for Python, Salesforce has introduced arbitrary restrictions on which API calls can be made based on different plans. This puts developers in a challenging position, as there's uncertainty regarding which API calls can be relied upon when building applications for others. slackish
aims to provide a more reliable, robust, and less selective base for developers to build upon.
For example, invites.py
shows you how to retrieve the list of invitations for your workspace, a feature that is only available to the API for Enterprise Grid customers.
Installation
pip install slackish
Usage
Here's a basic example of how to use slackish
:
import slackish
session = slackish.login_slack(
workspace="YOUR_WORKSPACE_NAME_OR_URL",
email="YOUR_EMAIL",
password="YOUR_PASSWORD"
)
print("Slack workspace: ", session.workspace)
print("Slack cookie: ", session.auth_cookie)
print("Slack token: ", session.auth_token)
Replace YOUR_WORKSPACE_NAME_OR_URL
, YOUR_EMAIL
, and YOUR_PASSWORD
with your actual credentials.
Features
- Bypass Salesforce's artificial API limitations.
- Reliable and consistent access to Slack's API.
- User-friendly interface for easy integration.
Contributing
We welcome contributions! Please check out our GitHub repository for more details.
The next milestone is to wrap the functionality in a sub-class requests.Session()
that automatically injects the authentication cookie/token when appropriate.
