How do i receive JSON payloads from the slack API to retrieve messages using python?

Question

I have been trying to make a slack bot for quite some time but there seems to be very little documentation on the slack URL, the most in-depth instructions I have found is to use ngrok and then you should receive JSON payloads from the slack API but as I am a beginner programmer I don't have much knowledge on this. I used an ngrok https URL and appended /slack/actions as documented from slack and just tried a little piece of code to see if the URL was ok to receive payloads from

import requests

r = requests.get('https://f39b39ebcdbf.ngrok.io/slack/actions')

print(r)

and I got a 405 error

So I am not sure what code I need to receive these payloads as you can probably tell I am very new at this so any help would be much appreciated

Answer 1

Use POST Method Instead of GET. USE URL LIKE: https://xxxxxx.ngrok.io/api/YourSlackReceviver/Action
