'Can I use a Slack bot to count how many times each user has posted a message in multiple channels without joining those channels?

I want to use the Slack API to aggregate how many times each user in Slack has posted a message in a specific period of time. The conditions are as follows.

  • Multiple channels are covered
  • Both public and private channels are covered

So here's what I'd like to ask you;

  • I've read the official Slack API documentation, and apparently there are no direct API methods suitable for the above kind of aggregation, is that correct?
  • If the above is correct, I think the only way is to parse the text from the text property, which is the return value of the conversation.history method, and aggregate it, is that correct?
