I’ll be curious to see if they ever provide a reason for the reduced functionality. From an outsider’s prospective, it seems like they just want to make it harder for citizens to be able to comment
Or based off of this comment, maybe they are just looking to limit API usage and ensure only that only institutions that align with the current administration’s wishes (i.e. Heritage Foundation) have API access.
> As of Friday, the POST method will no longer be allowed for all users *with the exception of approved use cases by federal agencies*
If the motivation is the latter, I wonder if there would be any legal recourse for other institutions that have had previous access revoked?
