Hi there,

I updated your code and made it a bit more user friendly. Check it out here: https://github.com/nickcanfield29/Download-Slack-Channel-Users/blob/master/Get_Slack_Channel_Users.py

Hey Nick,

This works well, but it seems to be having issues seeing private channels even though I'm a member. Any ideas on why that would be. I have the groups:read scope.

Hey Bahoo, Glad you're able to use it! Unfortunately, this script only grabs public channel users. To grab private ones, I'd need to update it. Let me see if I can figure that out...

Hey @nickcanfield29,

Thanks for the quick update on this. I tested it on both private and public and the export is showing up blank for both now.

Send me your terminal output (minus the API key of course) to let me see what went wrong

In case you are looking for a no-code solution, you can use Channel Tools app for Slack. Amongst other things, it can help you export a list of users in a Slack channel.

I just drag and copied in the windows app. worked pretty gud
