How to get total time spend in Gitlab?

Question

Is there a way to get the total time spend on all issues that a user have spend with the time tracking /spend slash command?

Time tracking stats with the API gets just a small amount of data: https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/issues.html#get-time-tracking-stats

Gitlab CE 9.1.4

As I see it is possible to parse comments from API v3 and calculate total.

For example,

https://gitlab.com/api/v3/projects/:id/issues/:issue_id/notes?private_token=your_token

{
  id: 73113225,
  body: "added 1h of time spent at 2018-05-15",
  attachment: null,
  author: {
    ...
    username: "mnvxxx",
  },
  ...
}

More info: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/notes.html

UPDATE

Currently I has created instrument for calculating spent time by every contributor. I hope it will be helpful:
