I guess this isn’t the place to discuss this kind of policy, but the fact that it will always be easy to get the information through unsupported ways means all you’re doing is inconveniencing people who want to use the API to do cool stuff officially that makes you look good. This happens every time companies try to do this kind of restriction on the net with DRM, or obfuscating something that should be easy: you make it so legitimate users and developers are inconvenienced and discouraged from using your platform in interesting and innovative ways, but the pirates continue unabated. I don’t understand why companies seem to make this clueless mistake over and over again. Anyway, I hope you reconsider.
Thanks for answering,
