As a developer, not really a tweeter, I'd be super-happy if a read-only API was opened up again. It was a gold mine when it came to creating cool things back in the days, especially analysis stuff.

Do you think CA (and others) are restricted by API or non-API? A missing API hurts developers the most, not huge companies who can access the data either way.
