Send subreddit's photos to a Slack Channel

This small bottle.py application implements a Slack Outgoing Webhook to send a group (default 15) of photos to a SlackHQ channel.

To use it, you'll need to have the Imgur API's credentials, which can be obtained at Imgur's API page.

You'll have to add a Outgoing-Webhook to your Slack app, using your configured URL.

In case you want to push data into private groups or DMs, you'll have to configure an Incoming Webhook and Slack Command.

$ pip install imgurpython
$ pip install bottle

Or

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

$ export IMGUR_CLIENT_ID=<your Imgur client id>

If you're using Incoming Webhooks with the incoming function, you must add:
