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 TheTVDB operations the program may use, and this is one of them.
- You approve access. Because this one changes data, it cannot run until you have explicitly granted it.

Questions
- Can HumDay returns a session token to be included in the rest of the requests in TheTVDB?
- Yes. This operation is published in TheTVDB'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 TheTVDB data?
- Yes — this is a POST operation, so it changes something in TheTVDB. 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 TheTVDB account.
