'Is it possible to call external web APIs from Slack?
I want to pull some metrics daily posted in my slack channel. these metrics are located in my personal server, and to pull them via rest API a basic authentication is also required.
Does slack support this?in other words can slack do external api call in such way? and if yes how?

To achieve this, you need to create a custom application(bot).
You can implement your custom business logic and then use slack APIs to post generated data to Slack Client.
