By definition, a null edit does not perform any change at all, and is
therefore not recorded publicly since there's technically nothing to
record. I suspect the only way you could find this kind of information is
in the server logs, and access to those is very tightly restricted for
privacy reasons.

Hi,
given a bot that only makes nulledits, for example with touch.py (ie.
saving pages without modifying), these edits won't appear either in recent
changes or the page history.
How can I follow these edits? (I am admin and checkuser, but it may be
interesting without higher user rights.)
Even with good faith these nulledits load the server, but they can be used
for an overload attack, too.
