Slack API in Go 
This is the original Slack library for Go created by Norberto Lopez, transferred to a Github organization.
This library supports most if not all of the api.slack.com REST
calls, as well as the Real-Time Messaging protocol over websocket, in
a fully managed way.

CHANGELOG.md is available. Please visit it for updates.

// If you set debugging, it will log all requests to the console
// Useful when encountering issues
// slack.New("YOUR_TOKEN_HERE", slack.OptionDebug(true))
groups, err := api.GetGroups(false)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("%s\n", err)
