Is there a way for a Telegram Bot to send a text to everyone who has a pending join request in a channel using pyTelegramBotApi

Question

I am trying to make a Telegram bot that dms anyone who requests to join a channel, goes through an authentication process in the dms and then approves or rejects the request. The problem I have right now is that there are already a lot of pending join requests. I need the bot to text those people as well. So I was hoping there might be a way to get a list of join requests. But I have gone through the documentation and even the source code of pyTelegramBotAPI but failed to find a solution. So I was wondering whether this is actually possible or not.

Thanks in advance.
