this is a good question @ryosebach. for now, you have two options:

1. cast individual properties you know should exist on the result to the type you know they will have by looking at the api reference (https://api.slack.com/methods/channels.list)
2. define a type for the entire result object which extends WebAPICallResult, including the properties you want to use, and cast res to this type.

both of these are less than ideal, and we're trying to figure out the best solution for the future in #496. we'd love to hear your thoughts or feedback about this there.

If this answers your question, can you close this issue?
