Seems like a very obvious CFAA violation. "Unauthorized" in that context means whatever the API provider and a gullible prosecutor want it to mean.

- posguy 10y agoYea, violating the TOS of your competitors API so you can directly compete with them is very risky, and due to the overly broad nature of CFAA it could easily end with multiple Uber employees in prison if pursued criminally. Not that I think it will be pursued criminally, as Uber has power & influence on its side to protect it from repercussions people like myself would face for doing the same exact thing.
