Generally, API actions that modify the state of the wiki require users to
explicitly request their changes to be marked as bot, despite any bot
flags. The convention used by both core's action=edit and Wikibase's
modules like action=wbcreateclaim is to use the bot parameter for this,
for example see in the sandbox:

Dear friend of media wiki,
I am currently working in a private instance of wikidata, we have had
issues with edition output, and as I understood with a bot this procedure
could be faster. I mean data load.
The case is that I am operating an account for which I created
"bot-passwords",
however when I edit, in the recent changes page all edition appears as
"human edits", not as bot edits, then my question is, at first, if i am
really operating a bot?, and if this is the case, how can I see the bot name
in the recent changes?, given that for every bot password I set, the
system request a bot name, however I do not see any edition as bot, or
such bot name I set, as an output.
Thanks in advanced for your comments.
