As you may have read in our November newsletter, Slack platform API documentation is moving! The Slack Documentation team is currently overhauling the API documentation—both front-end and back-end—to enhance your developer documentation experience.
While you won’t see any changes until March 2025, we promise to keep you in the loop. Change is a journey, and we’re here with you every step of the way!
Beginning in October 2024, the Slack Documentation team kicked off the process of migrating the API documentation for the SDK tools you know and love from its original location on api.slack.com to its new home on docs.slack.dev. The target to complete this migration is in March 2025.
The move will introduce a refreshed look and feel to our API documentation, enhancing the overall user experience. In addition, the updates to our documentation tech stack and tooling will allow us to deliver documentation more rapidly and that more accurately reflects our evolving platform and ecosystem.
The new home of Slack platform API documentation will also be integrated into our developer hub, further supporting our goals of platform unification and a more seamless and cohesive learning experience that meets the sophisticated needs of our growing developer community—you!
Fans of our SDKs and Bolt frameworks documentation will be happy to learn that we'll also be consolidating all of our tooling docs at tools.slack.dev as part of this process. Soon, you'll be able to access the Deno Slack SDK docs at tools.slack.dev/deno-slack-sdk and the Slack CLI docs at tools.slack.dev/slack-cli. You’ll still be able to access these docs at api.slack.com for now, but they’ll have fully migrated come spring!
Here's the great news—you don't need to do anything! There shouldn't be any disruption to your documentation experience while the migration is taking place, since we'll be working behind-the-scenes. Once the migration is complete and the changes are rolled out in the spring, you may want to update any bookmarks you have pointing to api.slack.com—but not to worry, we'll have redirects in place to make sure you end up right where you need to be.
In the meantime, we'll keep you updated with any other information you might need. We're so excited for you to come along on this journey with us!
