A full featured python Slack API SDK

Project description

Slackly - A Slack Toolkit

gitter travis pypi docs

Use Cases:

  • Use the slackly.SlackClient to make calls to the Web API

  • Use the slackly.SlackRTMClient to listen to the Real Time Messaging API (via a websocket connection)

  • Use the slackly.events and slackly.schema.types in this library to build higher level abstractions on the Slack API

Installing

$ pip install slackly

Simple Examples

Creating a Client and Making an API Call

from slackly import SlackClient
import os

client = SlackClient(token=os.environ['SLACK_TOKEN'])

# Call the api.test endpoint
client.api_call('api.test')

Creating the API object and preparing a call

from slackly import SlackAPI, SlackClient
import os
slack = SlackAPI()

# Prepare an api call. Pass "api_call" a client to get actually make the call
api_call = slack.api.test()

client = SlackClient(token=os.environ['SLACK_TOKEN'])
result = api_call(client)

Printing Events off of the Real Time Messaging API

import os
from slackly import SlackRTMClient

rtm_client = SlackRTMClient.from_token(token=os.environ['SLACK_TOKEN'])
for event in rtm_client.get_events_forever():
    print(event)

Using Event Types

import os
from slackly import SlackRTMClient, SlackEventParsed
from slackly.events import Message, UserTyping
rtm_client = SlackRTMClient.from_token(token=os.environ['SLACK_TOKEN'])
rtm_client.event_factory = SlackEventParsed  # Tell the RTM client to make events using this class

for event in rtm_client.get_events_forever():
    if isinstance(event, Message):
        print("We're dealing with a message")

    elif isinstance(event, UserTyping):
        print("Someone's typing")

    else:
        print("I don't care about this event")

Development

$ git clone https://github.com/huntcsg/slackly.git
$ cd slackly
$ tox    # Runs test suites against all python versions, pypy, does style and test coverage analysis
  1. All pull requests must pass the travis-ci builds

  2. All pull requests should include inline (docstring) documentation, updates to built documentation if applicable, and test coverage. This project aspires to be a 100% test coverage library.

  3. If integration or regression test coverage is needed, let the project maintainer know and we can work out the best way to do so.
