There is a bunch of PHP clients for Slack. But some are not up to date or miss features, some only cover a small part of the API and most are simply no longer maintained.
This SDK is generated automatically with JanePHP from the official Slack API specs.
It provides a full object oriented interface for all the endpoints, requests and responses of the Slack Web API.
This library is built atop of PSR-7 and PSR-18. So you will need to install some implementations for those interfaces.
If no PSR-18 client or PSR-7 message factory is available yet in your project or you don't know or don't care which one to use, just install some default:
composer require symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7
You can now install the Slack client:
composer require jolicode/slack-php-api
First, you need to retrieve a token from Slack.
Checkout Slack's documentation about all different kind of tokens. A good starting point is the Authentication Basics documentation.
Then, use the factory that is provided to create the client:
// $client contains all the methods to interact with the API
$client = JoliCode\Slack\ClientFactory::create($yourToken);
$user = $client->usersInfo(['user' => 'U123AZER'])->getUser();
dump($user);
