Pass-through

Paths continue from https://api.trakt.tv. Your Operate As key goes in Authorization; the client's access is added for you.

See Pass-through requests for the full request and response format.

When access ends

Operate As renews the sign-in before it runs out and checks it daily. If Trakt refuses to renew it, the service shows Expired, you're alerted, and your client reconnects from the same link.
