There is a bunch of existing PHP clients for Slack. But some are not up-to-date or miss features, some only cover a small part of the API and most are simply no longer maintained.

This SDK is generated automatically with JanePHP from the official Slack API specs.

It also provides a full object-oriented interface for all the endpoints, requests, and responses of the Slack Web API.

This library is built atop of PSR-7 and PSR-18. So you will need to install some implementations for those standard interfaces.

If no PSR-18 client or PSR-7 message factory is available yet in your project or you don't know or don't care which one to use, just install some default:

composer require symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7

You can now install the Slack client:

composer require jolicode/slack-php-api

// $client contains all the methods to interact with the API
$client = JoliCode\Slack\ClientFactory::create($yourSlackToken);

$user = $client->usersInfo(['user' => 'U123AZER'])->getUser();

You can see the current and past versions using one of the following:

• the git tag command
• the releases page on GitHub
• the file listing the changes between versions

Finally, some meta documentation:

• versioning and branching models
• contribution instructions

Slack decided a long time ago to abandon https://github.com/slackapi/slack-api-specs which held the reference OpenAPI specification for the Slack API. This is a bummer for open-source, open formats, and interoperability. This library survives on patches from the community to make the schema up to date and to add missing features.
