Description
Hi,
My use case requires being able to read the messages being posted (and also historic messages) in a RocketChat team. Looking at the API documentation for Teams, I don't see any endpoint which could do this. I have already tried the related endpoints in Channel and Group, but those (expectedly) don't work with a teamName or teamId.
Is there an easy way or a workaround through which I could retrieve all the messages from a team I'm a member of?
Any help or guide is appreciated. Thanks

Research direction
Start with the Teams API documentation and compare it with the linked Channel and Group message endpoints. Determine whether team messages can be retrieved through existing resources or require a new REST endpoint. Done means the supported retrieval method or endpoint is documented and works for current and historic team messages.
