There is no nuance in the current "no third-party access" policy for the Pokemon GO game services. Your Terms of Service forbid use of "nonpublic areas", but no public areas have yet been defined.

This situation has necessitated ham-fisted enforcement. To protect your right to block cheating bots, you must block simple inventory management tools. To control the server load created by swarms of "scanning" services using dummy accounts, you must block simple personal radar tools. To set the legal precedent that your Terms are enforceable, you have blocked every hosting data center you can find and disabled even read-only player profiling tools like PokeAdvisor.

As a result, we your most enthusiastic customers find ourselves allied with serious cheaters and hackers.

Even if serious restrictions must be placed on functionality, service load, and authentication time, please bring some nuance to this "players versus the corporation" dynamic by introducing a public API.
