The Slack Discovery API SDK for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No—unless you have an active, supported Slack Enterprise Grid account and are already committed to this SDK's API surface. The package is abandoned (1095+ days without maintenance), license terms are unclear, and no guarantee exists that it still works with current Slack Discovery API versions. For new projects, contact Slack directly for current SDK recommendations or use the generic Slack Bolt framework instead.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a Slack Discovery API token with discovery:read or discovery:write scopes; only available to Enterprise Grid customers or Security and Compliance partners.
- Python 3.6 or greater required.
- Package is abandoned—last release was over 1095 days ago.

What it is and what it does
The Slack Discovery SDK is a Python client library for Slack's Discovery APIs, which provide enterprise-grade access to workspace data, messages, conversations, and audit logs on Slack Enterprise Grid. It wraps Slack's HTTP endpoints and handles authentication, rate limiting, and response parsing so you don't have to build those details yourself.
The SDK is designed for compliance, security, and data governance workflows—such as data loss prevention (DLP) scanning, eDiscovery, audit log retrieval, and message tombstoning. It has zero runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel, making it lightweight to add to an existing project. However, the package has not been maintained for over 1095 days, so compatibility with the current Slack API and Python ecosystem is uncertain.
Use it for
- Retrieve enterprise-wide workspace and team information for compliance audits on Slack Enterprise Grid.
- Scan messages for sensitive data (credit card numbers, PII) and tombstone them automatically for DLP.
- Export user conversations and message history for eDiscovery or legal hold workflows.
- Access audit logs with user tokens that have auditlogs:read scopes for security investigations.
- Programmatically query conversation metadata and message edits across an enterprise organization.

Before you install
Package is abandoned—last release was over 1095 days ago. No maintenance activity or repository metadata available. Install friction is low (pure Python wheel, no runtime dependencies), but the lack of maintenance poses a risk for compatibility issues with current Slack API changes.
Requires a Slack Discovery API token with discovery:read or discovery:write scopes; only available to Enterprise Grid customers or Security and Compliance partners. Python 3.6 or greater required.
