Pubmed searches for Slack

This utility searches PubMed for a list of search terms, and inserts the results into a Slack channel via an appropriate webhook.

I wrote this mostly to teach myself some Python---you have been warned. Any comments/improvements welcome!

Usage

  • Set up a webhook in Slack for the channel to post to.
  • Set an environment variable SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL with the URL.
  • Set your search terms (currently done by editing the pubmed_slack.py script.
  • Run python pubmed_slack.py.
  • Your search result will appear in the channel, with link to Pubmed and a random emoji.
