For people who have built Discord bots, does the Channel API endpoint allow you to have a user or bot sit in a public channel like #announcements and listen to all of the messages?

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

You will need to built a bot with read messages permissions or admin permissions, then, the bot needs to be added to the channel if it’s not added automatically and then, on the bot you can add a messageCreate listener and then, you will be able to receive every message on the channels where the bot was added.
