Simply send messages to your Mattermost team using incoming webhooks.

Getting the API key

Usage

Basic usage

matterhook is very simple and efficient to use:

from matterhook import Webhook

# mandatory parameters are url and your webhook API key
mwh = Webhook('https://mattermost.MYCOMPANY.com', 'API_KEY')

# send a message to the API_KEY's channel
mwh.send('coconut webhook message')

Advanced usage

from matterhook import Webhook

# mandatory parameters are url and your webhook API key
mwh = Webhook('https://mattermost.MYCOMPANY.com', 'API_KEY')

# personalized bot name and icon
mwh.username = 'cocobot'
mwh.icon_url = 'http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bEcLJDp_u7o/UJKPRGazv6I/AAAAAAAABGY/75z_6bbegao/s1600/coconut-oil-alzheimers-study.jpg'

# send a message to the specified channel
mwh.send('coconut is da thruth', channel='special_channel')

# override the username for this message
mwh.send('secret message', channel='special_channel', username='secret_user')

# for convenience, you can also do this...
mwh['incredible_channel'] = 'incredible message'

# ...and even this
mwh['incredible_channel'] = {'text': 'incredible message', username='incredible user'}
