The Slack platform offers several APIs to build apps. Each Slack API delivers part of the capabilities from theplatform, so that you can pick just those that fit for your needs. This SDK offers a corresponding package for each ofSlack’s APIs. They are small and powerful when used independently, and work seamlessly when used together, too.
