slack-wrapper

Example:

from slack_wrapper import SlackAPI, SlackRTM

# Get token from the first line of 'token.txt'
with open('token.txt') as f:
        TOKEN = f.readlines()[0][:-1]

# Create RTM and API instances:
api = SlackAPI(TOKEN)
rtm = SlackRTM(TOKEN)

# ~~Using the API:~~ #
#Get the list of channels:
channel_list = api.get_channel_list()

#Get a channel name:
my_channel_name = api.get_channel_name('C0H0SR40J') # returns a name based on the ID

#Get a channel id:
my_channel_id = api.get_channel_id(my_channel_name) # returns "C0H0MG0F6"


# ~~RTM~~ #
rtm.connect() #connects to a Real Time Messaging websocket

#the following loop receives 5 events and logs them on the terminal
#usually this would be an infinite loop and the events would be handledapproprietly
for x in range(5):
        print(rtm.receive_dict())

#send a message through RTM:
rtm.msg("hey, sorry for spam, just testing", my_channel_id)
