Can HumDay connect to OpenFEC?

Yes. HumDay reads OpenFEC's own published API description and derives the operations from it, so there is no hand-built connector to wait for. 91 operations are documented.

Do I need to write code to automate OpenFEC?

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 OpenFEC account.

What can HumDay do in OpenFEC?

0 of the 91 documented operations change something in OpenFEC, and 91 read from it. HumDay only ever uses the specific operations your approved contract needs.

Is my OpenFEC 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 OpenFEC is held behind that approval.

Automate OpenFEC

HumDay reads OpenFEC’s own published API description and derives 91 operations from it. Describe the outcome you want in plain words — you get a program that is written, proven on real data, and run for you.

What OpenFEC is

This application programming interface (API) allows you to explore the way candidates and committees fund their campaigns. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) API is a RESTful web service supporting full-text and field-specific searches on FEC data. [Bulk downloads](https://www.fec.gov/data/advanced/?tab=bulk-data) are available on the current site. Information is tied to the underlying forms by

How automating OpenFEC 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 OpenFEC account.
Grant access, then go live. You approve the specific OpenFEC operations it may use — and only those.
