What this operation does

Unpublish a User's Articles and Comments

• PUTChanges data · usersdev.to/api/users/{id}/unpublish

How HumDay uses it

1. You describe the outcome. Not this operation by name — what you want to happen. HumDay works out which operations it needs.
2. The contract names it. Before anything is built, you see exactly which DEV Forem operations the program may use, and this is one of them.
3. You approve access. Because this one changes data, it cannot run until you have explicitly granted it.

Questions

Can HumDay unpublish a user's articles and comments in DEV Forem?

Yes. This operation is published in DEV Forem's own API description, so HumDay can use it without a hand-built connector — once you have approved it for your automation.

Will this change my DEV Forem data?

Yes — this is a PUT operation, so it changes something in DEV Forem. HumDay holds anything that writes behind an approval you grant explicitly, and the contract you approve says what it may touch.

Do I need to write code?

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