Can HumDay connect to BBC Nitro?

Yes. HumDay reads BBC Nitro's own published API description and derives the operations from it, so there is no hand-built connector to wait for. 25 operations are documented.

Do I need to write code to automate BBC Nitro?

No. You describe the outcome you want in plain words. HumDay agrees a contract with you, writes the program, and shows you a test run before anything touches your BBC Nitro account.

What can HumDay do in BBC Nitro?

0 of the 25 documented operations change something in BBC Nitro, and 25 read from it. HumDay only ever uses the specific operations your approved contract needs.

Is my BBC Nitro account safe?

Your credentials are stored encrypted and are never shown in chat, code, or logs. Every run is limited to the operations you explicitly approved, and anything that writes to BBC Nitro is held behind that approval.

How automating BBC Nitro works

Describe the outcome. Say what you want to happen, in your own words. No node graphs, no field mapping.
Approve the contract. HumDay writes down exactly what it will do, what it will touch, and what it will never do. You approve it before anything is built.
See it proven. The program runs and shows you the result before it is allowed near your live BBC Nitro account.
Grant access, then go live. You approve the specific BBC Nitro operations it may use — and only those.
