We built apps for Yahoos connected TV platform (it was based on the Konfabulator widget engine) back in the day. Getting API support from clients (broadcast networks) for niche platforms was next to impossible and trying to aggregate all the data via multiple calls on constrained devices wasn’t feasible either. We used pipes to aggregate multiple services into a single API a few times at Yahoo’s recommendation and it worked pretty well. Also helped get around some CORS issues IIRC.
