The app uses two kinds of information - tokens and a cookie.
Usually you have to install a Slack app to obtain an API token. This is quite tedious, as your administrator has to approve a Slack app only for you - which will hardly ever happen.
But there's a different option - the webinterface also needs to authenticate itself with the Slack backend. And this is what this plugin also uses. All data can be obtained when opening Slack in the browser, logging in and opening the dev console.
- Open Slack in your browser, log in
- Open the dev console, then open the console tab
- Execute the following snippet:
# Get the tokens
Object.values(JSON.parse(window.localStorage["localConfig_v2"]).teams).map(team => team.token).join(",")
Getting the cookie is a bit more difficult, as document.cookie does not return the value we want - for whatever reason.
Instead:
- Open Slack in your browser, log in
- Open the dev console, then open the network tab
- Open some arbitrary request. When scrolling down to the request headers, there will be a key value pair with the name "Cookie". Copy the value. You are good to go!
