Digits exposes a full programmatic REST API (OAuth 2.0, OpenAPI spec, batch sync with idempotent writes, webhooks) and a resettable developer sandbox, which supports scripted/automated use outside a GUI, and the MCP server is also a headless, auth-gated JSON-RPC endpoint. However, there is no explicit CI/CD documentation, no service-to-service (client-credentials) auth flow described, and OAuth authorization-code grant typically requires an initial interactive login step, so pure unattended CI automation isn't directly documented. Missing for 10: explicit CI/headless-automation guide, client-credentials or machine-to-machine auth flow, and independent confirmation of unattended pipeline use.
