How HumDay uses it
- You describe the outcome. Not this operation by name — what you want to happen. HumDay works out which operations it needs.
- The contract names it. Before anything is built, you see exactly which eBay Taxonomy operations the program may use, and this is one of them.
- You approve access. Read-only access is still yours to grant, and still limited to what the contract needs.

Questions

- Yes. This operation is published in eBay Taxonomy's own API description, so HumDay can use it without a hand-built connector — once you have approved it for your automation.
- Does this change anything in my eBay Taxonomy account?
- No. This is a read-only operation, so it can be used to watch for changes or fetch data without altering anything in eBay Taxonomy.
- 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 eBay Taxonomy account.
