Slack upload CLI

See: files.upload retires in March 2025, replaced by sequenced Web API methods

files.upload API was replaced to files.getUploadURLExternal and files.completeUploadExternal.

However, those new APIs are complex and not easy to use with curl. So, I made this small CLI tool to upload files to Slack.

Download

$ curl -sL -o suc https://github.com/pyar6329/slack-upload-cli/releases/download/1.0.1/suc-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)
$ chmod +x suc
$ ./suc --help

Please move suc command to PATH directory.

Usage

  -s, --send <SEND_MESSAGE>  send a message to slack. Please set message text.
  -h, --help                 Print help
