At work, I do a lot of integrations with other third-party APIs, and I've seen some put crucial portions of their documentation behind "you need to be a customer first." In my book that is always a big negative sign, since it indicates possible issues like: 1. The company doesn't really support the API or consider it important. 2. The feature isn't really being used, being either obsolete, unreliable, or not useful. 3. The company's management is a weird kind of paranoid and the process of integrating is going to be painful because of that.
