Slack Web API

One way to interact with the Slack platform is its HTTP RPC-based Web API, a collection of methods requiring OAuth 2.0-based user, bot, or workspace tokens blessed with related OAuth scopes.

How to Use This Skill

This API documentation is split into multiple files for on-demand loading.

Directory structure:

references/
├── resources/             # 56 resource index files
├── operations/            # 253 operation detail files
├── schemas/               # 3 schema groups, 48 schema files
├── authentication.md      # auth methods
└── mrkdwn-formatting.md   # Slack message format spec (read before posting messages)

Navigation flow:

1. Find the resource you need in the list below
2. Read references/resources/<resource>.md to see available operations
3. Read references/operations/<operation>.md for full details
4. If an operation references a schema, read references/schemas/<prefix>/<schema>.md

Base URL

• https://slack.com/api

Authentication

Supported methods: slackAuth. See references/authentication.md for details.

Message Formatting (mrkdwn)

Slack uses mrkdwn, not CommonMark. Key differences: *bold* (single *), _italic_, <url|text> for links, <@Uxxx> / <#Cxxx> for mentions. **bold** and [text](url) render literal.

Read references/mrkdwn-formatting.md before composing any message sent via chat.postMessage, chat.postEphemeral, chat.scheduleMessage, chat.update, chat.meMessage, or Block Kit mrkdwn sections.
