Repeated 429 (ratelimited) errors from slack

[eukim0704]

Hi, recently there has been repeated 429 (ratelimited) errors from slack when calling conversations.list api endpoint. Slack support has suggested adding pagination to our calls but I don't see any options in the bot.

We were leaning towards using the https://github.com/slack-ruby/slack-ruby-bot-server gem and/or the related https://github.com/slack-ruby/slack-ruby-bot-server-events gem to resolve the issue but our bot was never listed, so maybe there's a way to resolve this without changing the gem? Any help would be appreciated on the issue.

What's the call stack that causes the rate limit?

The library that calls conversations.list is https://github.com/slack-ruby/slack-ruby-client. That supports pagination. https://github.com/slack-ruby/slack-ruby-client/blob/master/lib/slack/web/api/endpoints/conversations.rb#L242
