Mazda is angry a customer used an API in a manner they couldn't control. You can read the DMCA takedown notice here.

This will be over soon. When the EU's Data Act comes into force, car manufacturers will be obliged to allow access to vehicle data.

Also isn't it Mazda's fault for creating an API that anyone can access and get information from? Someone in Mazda IT is probably frantically looking for the email chain where he was told to "just make it public" so our outside analysts can use it.

I think yes, assuming nobody grabbed an API key out of the Mazda app or something.

A huge project at my work got pushed back because a company we are working with decided to make the API public...

It's a good thing it is getting changed, not a good thing it got pushed back farther because of them. Already been pushed back 4 months
