Usage

First, set your Slack API token.

$ export SLACK_API_TOKEN="YOUR SLACK API TOKEN"

Then, execute takosan command like below:

$ takosan [-host string] [-port int] [-name string] [-icon string]

Options

-host (default: "127.0.0.1")

The interface which takosan binds.

-port (default: 4979)

The port to which takosan listens.

-name (default: "takosan")

The name which you want to display on Slack for this bot.

-icon (default: the URL of the image above)

The icon URL which you want to display on Slack for this bot.

API

/notice

/privmsg

$ curl -d "channel=#channel&message=test message" localhost:4979/privmsg

You can use both of the endpoints to send messages to Slack. No change can be seen on Slack, though.

/join

/leave

When you post requests to these endpoints, the server always returns 404. Which is because you don't need to join/leave groups on Slack explicitely.
