HeyZap didn't build the games that power them, the developers did. HeyZap, in releasing information such as installs, etc., to unauthenticated API calls is saying "This is HEYZAP's data".
It's not. It's the developers data too.
Without that developers game, you'd have NO data, and each player is a customer of the developer once they buy the game. They're not just HeyZap's users, they are paid customers of that developer.
Treat your developers businesses with respect and limit information to the developer and let them decide if they want to release it.
Hi, just to clarify, we don't have install data or anything from developers, only public information of what's on the app store, and what users share on Heyzap. It is the user's right to share this information if they would like to, in the same way that I can leave a review of an app without the developer's permission.
I fail to see your point. I could also just go here http://www.heyzap.com/profile/mike_midkiff and scrape for the same data.
