Your chat writes it as a Hypamoon adapter from the docs above. Reading starts after you click Allow in the portal, and every write waits for your approval, one call at a time. [How adapters work](https://hypamoon.com/docs/adapters) ### Good to know - Auto Trader UK signs in with OAuth or signed requests only, with tokens that expire. The Hypamoon vault holds a fixed key today, so an adapter for Auto Trader UK takes more work: ask your chat to check this first. - Notifications for stock, deals and advertisers are sent to a URL you configure. ## Try it in your chat First get access from Auto Trader UK. Then fill in what to read and write, and send it. Say this in your chat > Build the Hypamoon recipe build-an-adapter for Auto Trader UK. API docs: https://developers.autotrader.co.uk/.
