Slacker is a full-featured Python client library for the Slack API, supporting messaging, file uploads, user listing, and other Slack methods. The repository is archived and no longer maintained, with Slack officially endorsing python-slackclient instead.

Use cases

  • send messages to slack channels from python
  • upload files to slack programmatically
  • list slack workspace users via api
  • python wrapper for slack web api
  • post notifications to slack from scripts

When to choose

  • maintaining legacy code that already depends on slacker
  • you need a simple, lightweight slack api wrapper for an old python project

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - use the official slack-sdk / python-slackclient
  • you need support for newer slack api features or updated auth
  • you need bug fixes or security updates
