slack-ruby-client

slack-ruby-client

A Ruby and command-line client for the Slack Web, Real Time Messaging and Event APIs.

Useful to me?

  • This library will let you send messages to Slack via the Web API, send and receive messages via the Real Time Messaging API and facilitate integration with the Events API.
  • To respond to slash commands, interactive components or events, implement a web application using your favorite web framework and use this library to call the Slack Web API and to verify that events are coming from Slack.
  • To build a bot using the Real Time Messaging API, use slack-ruby-bot, which uses this library.
  • To roll out a complete service using the Real Time Messaging API with Slack button integration to multiple teams, check out slack-ruby-bot-server, which is built on top of slack-ruby-bot, which uses this library.
