Usage info

This method checks authentication and tells "you" who you are, even if you might be a bot.

You can also use this method to test whether Slack API authentication is functional.

When working against a team within an Enterprise Grid, you'll also find their enterprise_id here.

This method allows hundreds of requests per minute. Use it as often as is reasonably required. Please consult rate limits for more information.
