Bot user detection

Can a Bot return any data about who is using the bot back to the bot developer?

Depends on what you are referring with using to..

As you know, bots may only see messages they're mentioned in or if they're in a 1:1 space with.

In both cases, you will see the user id of the sending user. You may use it for further processing..

Also you can console.log every interaction with the bot. I use this a lot to train the bot based on how humans write.

Another way to do it is with the recent/space widgets. You can log in as you bot and "see" the interactions.
