View submission: API Updates & Questions
Obviously it could only be done by browser automation and web scraping (which technically isn't detectable). But you are correct about using the username & password of the user.
I wasn't thinking about app store applications though. These are very few and I guess it should be easy to catch for the handful of them (although I don't know how they could ban them). I was more thinking about more shady kinds of applications (such as NSFW harvesters), but I guess they don't need to use the API at all in any case.
There's nothing here!
