Also isn't it Mazda's fault for creating an API that anyone can access and get information from? Someone in Mazda IT is probably frantically looking for the email chain where he was told to "just make it public" so our outside analysts can use it.
I think yes, assuming nobody grabbed an API key out of the Mazda app or something.
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.
Exactly! I love Google.
This is a joke
A huge project at my work got pushed back because a company we are working with decided to make the API public...
Isn't that a good thing?
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
