Hi there!
Not in a "nice way"
I'm intrigued, what don't you want to change items that have not been
created by the bot?
Surely if they have the correct ID then that's all okay?
Mind going into a bit more detail? :)
If not I can point you in the direction of an API that would let you know
who created an item.

Hi,
I hope this is an appropriate question for this mailing list.
I am a software developer at Reactome and am working on our bot that
writes Reactome data to Wikidata.
Our bot currently uses the property
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P3937 (the Reactome ID property)
to identify and update Reactome items.
We are running into the issue that this property is being used by other
people and our bot inadvertently ends up changing items that have not been
created by the Reactome bot.
Is there any way to uniquely identify the items created by our bot?
Thanks and warm regards,
Yusra Hader
