Python Slack SDK

Installation

This package supports Python 3.6 and higher. We recommend using PyPI to install Python Slack SDK

> $ pip install slack_sdk

Of course, you can always pull the source code directly into your project:

> $ git clone https://github.com/slackapi/python-slack-sdk.git
cd python-slack-sdk
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install -e .  # install the SDK project into the virtual env

And then, save a few lines of code as ./test.py.

> $ # test.py
import sys
# Enable debug logging
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
# Verify it works
from slack_sdk import WebClient
client = WebClient()
api_response = client.api_test()

You can run the code this way.

> $ python test.py

It’s also good to try on the Python REPL.
