This happens in AWS when a new instance is brought up and runs the above code.

Recently just encountered this error too - not sure if it's the same reason, but I believe I was hitting the Slack rate limit / login error similar to #56 and #57 . Does it happen to you immediately when running your app, or after restarting it many times? After chilling for a couple minutes and restarting my app it seems fine.

This was because of the rate limit. Still... this library shouldn't crash when it gets a non-json response.
