A script in Python that lets you easily share/lookup a movie in Slack.

Setting up Slack

  1. Create a Slack Incoming Webhook. Take note of the Webhook URL as that is important. The rest of the settings are not.
  2. Deploy your copy of movie-slackpy and make sure it is accessible via an endpoint.
