Get Slack thread replies

Automatically get Slack thread replies on slack.com. Read a Slack thread by channel id (get it from slack.com/list_channels) and the parent message ts (thread_ts). Returns the parent plus one page of its replies, with authors' display names when Slack provides them, and nextCursor to pass for the next page (null on the last page). Reading does not mark the thread as read. Fails with a signed-out error when the browser is not signed in to Slack.

Input

channel required

ts optional

The parent message's ts (same value as thread_ts). Pass this OR thread_ts.

limit optional

cursor optional

thread_ts optional

Alias of ts: the parent message's thread_ts. Pass this OR ts.

workspaceDomain optional

Workspace host, e.g. acme.slack.com. Omit to use the workspace this browser last used.

You do not need one. "Get Slack thread replies" drives the real slack.com pages in a browser, so it works whether or not slack.com offers an API for this.
Required: channel. Optional: ts, limit, cursor, thread_ts, workspaceDomain.
It returns parent, channel, replies, nextCursor.
Yes. It acts as you on slack.com: on your own Chrome it reuses your session, and on a Reduck-hosted browser it loads the slack.com cookies saved by the Reduck extension.
It only reads. It looks things up on slack.com and changes nothing there.
