Nick list from slack? #61

Closed chx closed 9 years ago

Is it possible to query the slack channel about who is there?

ekmartin commented 9 years ago

No, that's not possible at the moment. As far as I can see this isn't supported by node-slack-client either, but if you want to get it working in a fork you could use this.slack's private _apiCall method (from here: https://github.com/slackhq/node-slack-client/blob/5cc18662ca09c299ff3a93a109803d728ab77616/src/client.coffee#L539) in the following way:

var channelId = this.slack.getChannelByName('#channel-name');
this.slack._apiCall('channels.info', { channel: channelId }, callback);

The channel.info API endpoint is documented here: https://api.slack.com/methods/channels.info.

I'm gonna close this, as I don't think this is something that is needed in slack-irc's core functionality.
