Hello,
If this is local, you'll probably be better off bundling a small
webserver like tornado maybe?
Flask does have a server, but it's mostly only for debugging and testing.

Hi All,
I’m developing an alternative slack client that is far more accessible
than the slack client that is released directly by slack.
One issue I’m having and this just because I haven’t done much in the
past with Flask, is the instructions say to create a web server using
flask for slack.
Here is the instructions at:
https://slackapi.github.io/python-slackclient/auth.html
Now, here is my webserver.py file :
# controler / webserver.py
importos
fromflaskimportFlask, request
fromslackclientimportSlackClient
importcontroler.configascfg
app_oauth_scopes = [
"client",
"channels:read",
"channels:write",
"channels:history",
"chat:read:user",
"chat:write:user",
"dnd:read",
"dnd:write",
"dnd:write:user",
"emoji:read",
"groups:history",
"groups:read",
"groups:write",
"identity.basic",
"identity.basic:user",
"im:history",
"im:read",
"im:write",
"team:read",
]
client_id = cfg.slack_client_id
client_secret = cfg.slack_client_secret
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/begin_auth", methods=["GET"])
defpreinstall():
return'''
<a
href="https://slack.com/oauth/authorize?scope={0}&client_id={1}";>Sign
In to Slack</a>
'''.format(app_oauth_scopes, client_id)
# end function begin_oauth
@app.route("/finish_auth", methods=["GET", "POST"])
defpostinstall():
# Retrieve the auth code from the request params
auth_code = request.args['code']
# An empty string is a valid token for this request
sc = SlackClient("")
# Request the auth tokens from Slack
auth_response = sc.api_call(
"oauth.access",
client_id=client_id,
client_secret=client_secret,
code=auth_code
)
returnauth_response
can someone please explain how this is to be used? In the past I’ve
seen that applications launch a web browser, with a sign into slack
button, and then it takes mme to slack. How can I duplicate this
process? How is this webserver used? This is frustrating as my slack
client is starting to come together. I’m testing with a ttest token,
and now I want to release it to a test group so they can try it out.
Thanks for any help.
