I am a cofounder of @Thinknum. Based on what evidence did you come to the conclusion that we hacked into an API? We did not hack into any private API. We had access to the API.

Having access to the API does not mean that it is public, and that you have permission to do whatever you want with it.

Having permission to use the API means we did not hack into the API - that is what I claimed. I never claimed that meant we had permission to do 'whatever' we want with it.
