@KeyLimeSoda I agree completely. I get they might not want to spend time on the Franchise side of the app, but that’s where the community can come in. Why not open the API and let us do all the work?
There's some work to open up the APIs. You'd need to fuzz them and harden them against potential DDOS attacks--neither of which are that challenging.
You'd also still have the issue of authentication. For example, how would the Neon service be able to call the EA servers to get my data? You'd need to have an auth system that allows folks to login directly to EA and then returns an access token to Neon to be able to make calls to the APIs on their behalf. And there's some risk in there that scammers would try to get folks to login to their site instead of EA.
You'd also need to document the APIs and notify folks of changes, but this isn't a commercial application so you're not looking at any serious kinds of SLAs.
All told, it's not without challenges, but the whole project could be done with 3-6 months of a senior dev or less, depending on which pieces are already in place.
