SlackAPI Documentation

SlackAPI is a third-party C# implementation of the Slack API. It provides support for two primary communication methods:

1. WebAPI: Standard request/response interactions with Slack.
2. Real Time Messaging (RTM) API: WebSocket-based real-time communication.

For implementation examples, refer to the project Wiki: https://github.com/Inumedia/SlackAPI/wiki/Examples

You can install the SlackAPI library via NuGet. The package supports the following platforms:

• .NET Framework 4.5
• .NET Standard 1.3 (includes UWP support, but note that it cannot detect SlackSocketRouting attributes in loaded assemblies)
• .NET Standard 1.6
• .NET Standard 2.0

dotnet add package SlackAPI

If you are building the solution from source and wish to run the SlackAPI.Tests project, you must provide a config.json file.

To set this up:

1. Copy config.default.json to a new file named config.json.
2. Update the following keys in config.json:
   • userAuthToken: A user token generated via Slack OAuth Test Tokens.
   • botAuthToken: A bot token created via Slack Bot creation.
   • testChannel: A valid Slack channel ID (the user associated with userAuthToken must be a member of this channel).
   • directMessageUser: A Slack member username.

Note: clientId, clientSecret, and authCode are not used for these tests.

{
  "userAuthToken": "YOUR_USER_TOKEN",
  "botAuthToken": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN",
  "testChannel": "CHANNEL_ID",
  "directMessageUser": "USERNAME"
}
