cant use apps.manifest methods

[kidbrax]

I would like to be able to use the apps.manifest methods vis the slack-sdk

I see that they were added via #1119

But when trying to use the library, those methods don't seem to be available.

I also don't see them listed at https://slack.dev/python-slack-sdk/api-docs/slack_sdk/web/client.html

So if I run:

from slack_sdk import WebClient

client = WebClient()
print(dir(client))

I get this list (truncated to only show ones with apps in it). Notice there are no manifest methods.

[
    ...
    'admin_apps_approve',
    'admin_apps_approved_list',
    'admin_apps_clearResolution',
    'admin_apps_requests_cancel',
    'admin_apps_requests_list',
    'admin_apps_restrict',
    'admin_apps_restricted_list',
    'admin_apps_uninstall',
    'apps_connections_open',
    'apps_event_authorizations_list',
    'apps_uninstall',
    ...
]

So what am I missing? Or is there a code example showing me how to use the manifest methods?

Hi @kidbrax thanks for writing in 💯

#1119 is an issue that asked for these endpoints, it is still open since #1123 merged the changes into slackapi:feat-app-manifests

@seratch is this a feature we want to add to main?

[seratch]

@WilliamBergamin No, it isn't. The way to generate and manage app configuration tokens is not yet supported in a developer friendly manner. So, I don't think we are ready to encourage developers to leverage it in a large scale.

@kidbrax If you're already familiar with the app configuration token (if not, probably this is not yet the right timing for you to try these APIs), you can perform the API calls using the api_call method. We may add apps_manifest_* methods to WebClient in the future, but we cannot tell when they will be available.

[kidbrax]

Thanks, I'll give api_call a try.

FYI, I'm looking for the best way to automate updating my app's manifest if there is a alternative/recommended method.

[seratch]

Thanks for your reply. To automate the whole development process, the new platform feature w/ Den is the best way to go so far: https://api.slack.com/automation If you're interested in it, it may be worth trying it out too. Let us close this issue now.
