slack-api

I just finished creating my first slack bot in my dev slack team using the Microsoft bot framework. Now I would like to add the bot to another team for testing. My bot is not going to be for public use, just internal to the company.

I have no problems encoding my test messages within HTTP GET, but I'm trying to achieve the same result with JSON in a HTTP POST request. I've been testing with both curl and Postman , but Slack doesn't seem to be acknowledging my request body at all. { "ok": false, "error": "not_authed" } In curl , my request is encoded like this: curl -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"token":"my-token-here","channel":"#channel-name-or-id","text":"Text here.","username":"otherusername"}' In Postman, this is the raw body: {

But, when I am trying to post a message as a different user through an api call using the method chat.postMessage, it gives me the following response. {"ok":false,"error":"missing_scope","needed":"chat:write:user","provided":"identity.basic,identity.email,identity.avatar,identity.team","warning":"missing_charset","response_metadata":{"warnings":["missing_charset"]}} I checked the Oauth and Permissions page on Slack and I have the scope as chat:write:user. I cannot figure out what to do
