def validate_slack_signature(*, signing_secret: str, data: str, timestamp: str, signature: str) ‑> bool-
Slack creates a unique string for your app and shares it with you. Verify requests from Slack with confidence by verifying signatures using your signing secret. On each HTTP request that Slack sends, we add an X-Slack-Signature HTTP header. The signature is created by combining the signing secret with the body of the request we're sending using a standard HMAC-SHA256 keyed hash. https://api.slack.com/docs/verifying-requests-from-slack#how_to_make_a_request_signature_in_4_easy_steps__an_overview
Args
signing_secret- Your application's signing secret, available in the Slack API dashboard
data- The raw body of the incoming request - no headers, just the body.
timestamp- from the 'X-Slack-Request-Timestamp' header
signature- from the 'X-Slack-Signature' header - the calculated signature should match this.
Returns
True if signatures matches
Instance variables
var base_url-
A string representing the Slack API base URL. Default is
'https://slack.com/api/'. var headers-
dictrepresenting additional request headers to attach to all requests. var proxy-
String representing a fully-qualified URL to a proxy through which to route all requests to the Slack API. Even if this parameter is not specified, if any of the following environment variables are present, they will be loaded into this parameter:
HTTPS_PROXY,https_proxy,HTTP_PROXYorhttp_proxy. var ssl-
An
ssl.SSLContextinstance, helpful for specifying your own custom certificate chain. var timeout-
The maximum number of seconds the client will wait to connect and receive a response from Slack. Default is 30 seconds.
var token-
A string specifying an
xoxp-*orxoxb-*token.
Methods
def api_call(self, api_method: str, *, http_verb: str = 'POST', files: Optional[dict] = None, data: Union[dict, aiohttp.formdata.FormData] = None, params: Optional[dict] = None, json: Optional[dict] = None, headers: Optional[dict] = None, auth: Optional[dict] = None) ‑> Union[_asyncio.Future, LegacySlackResponse]-
Create a request and execute the API call to Slack.
Args
api_method:str- The target Slack API method. e.g. 'chat.postMessage'
http_verb:str- HTTP Verb. e.g. 'POST'
files:dict- Files to multipart upload. e.g. {image OR file: file_object OR file_path}
data- The body to attach to the request. If a dictionary is provided, form-encoding will take place. e.g. {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
params:dict- The URL parameters to append to the URL. e.g. {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
json:dict- JSON for the body to attach to the request (if files or data is not specified). e.g. {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
headers:dict- Additional request headers
auth:dict- A dictionary that consists of client_id and client_secret
Returns
(SlackResponse) The server's response to an HTTP request. Data from the response can be accessed like a dict. If the response included 'next_cursor' it can be iterated on to execute subsequent requests.
Raises
SlackApiError- The following Slack API call failed: 'chat.postMessage'.
SlackRequestError- Json data can only be submitted as POST requests.
