info:
  title: Slack Web Auth API
  description: The Slack Web API is an HTTP-based interface that provides access to all of Slack's platform features. It consists of over 200 methods organized by functional area (chat, conversations, users, files, admin, and more) that apps call over HTTPS with JSON payloads and receive JSON responses. All methods require authentication via OAuth tokens (bot or user) with granular permission scopes, and are subject to tiered rate limits. The Web API supports cursor-based pagination for large result sets and provides consistent error handling across all endpoints.
