Slack apps can utilize a wide range of APIs and platform features to accomplish their tasks. Within this section contains a collection of reference guides for those features, providing a perusable list of parameters for POSTing.
Reference guides are for the experienced, and those who want to jump in at the very deep end.
Particularly popular pages
The most visited reference pages are those for methods, events, and scopes. They're the foundation of all Slack apps.
Methods
We've got quite a bit of API methods! If you're not sure exactly what you're looking for, try filtering by method family to hone in on what looks like a possible solution. Or just start exploring! The Slack Sea stretches far past the horizon.
Events
Slack has always driven communication, and communication goes both ways! Browse our ensemble of events to enlighten and elucidate the comings and goings in your Slack workspace.
Scopes
You likely won't find yourself browsing permission scopes — you'll visit their pages when you're informed you need specific scopes — but understanding them is paramount to sculpting a secure slack setup.
