Usage info

This method returns extended information about a bot users, such as its name and icons.

The bot parameter is required if you want to actually return information about a bot. Use the bot's bot_id, which is unique for every workspace the bot is in. The bot_id field appears in bot_message message events and in the response of methods like conversations.history.

Use the app_id field to identify whether a bot belongs to yourSlack app.

If the bot corresponds directly to a bot user account, the bot will also have a user_id. You can use the user_id to fetch information about a bot user with the users.info method.

The team_id is only relevant when using an org-level token. This field will be ignored if the API call is sent using a workspace-level token.
