Slack API upload snippet length

My snippets are truncated to a few hundred lines. This is the code I'm using to upload them

 self.client.api_call(
     'files.upload',
     channels=channel_id,
     content=msg,
     as_user='true:',
     filetype=filetype,
     filename=filename
 )

What other parameter do I need to set to allow posting the entire snippet?

Solution

  • There aren't any. This limitation is imposed by Slack API for files.upload method.

    Quoting from the documentation:

    There is a 1 megabyte file size limit for files uploaded as snippets.
