The code in this repository was split out from https://github.com/rneatherway/gh-slack to make it easier for people to write their own Go programs interacting with the Slack API without having to create a Slack App.

The intended usage is:

client := slack.NewClient("your-team-here")
err := client.WithCookieAuth()
if err != nil {
    return nil, err
}

bs, err := client.API(context.TODO(), "GET", "users.list", nil, nil)
if err != nil {
    return nil, err
}

// Do something with `bs`...

The WithCookieAuth() method extracts a cookie from your system keychain and uses it to fetch a token from slack.com. This is the main benefit of this package. You can also obtain the token and cookie for your own use elsewhere using the GetCookieAuth(...) function.

If you have an access token already and still want to use this simple API(..) method you can use this with client.GetTokenAuth(...).
