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...

Isn't that a good thing?

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
