Financial risk too great for dev working "in my spare time to help others."

Mazda is angry a customer used an API in a manner they couldn’t control. You can read the DMCA takedown notice here.

    I think yes, assuming nobody grabbed an API key out of the Mazda app or something.

      A huge project at my work got pushed back because a company we are working with decided to make the API public…

          It’s a good thing it is getting changed, not a good thing it got pushed back farther because of them. Already been pushed back 4 months

      Quite often these integrations just take the authentication token or cookie during OAuth or the normal login process.

      Actions like that would be impossible with WEI.
