load slack message history by an external web app

I'm developing a web application which must load slack messages and work on it afterwards.

My question: what is the best way to develop an intermediary between slack and this web application to loads the messages directly after the user gives permission without creating a "slack app".

I saw this useful if we want to load only our own messages, but in my case I have to load the history messages inside my web application for each user who gives permission.

It's not possible to retrieve data from Slack without creating a Slack app. You need to create an app that requests the types of permissions/scopes you require for [conversations.history][1] and/or the Events API.The only way to access that information is with an app token and the only way to get a token is via app installation/authentication.
