What do you bet Twitter at least got approval from those 31 providers? StatSheet is listed as one of Embedly's "supported" providers but they never asked us if we were ok with it. It's not like they are even using an API from us...just scraping.

Would you have provided an API if they had asked?

True. They did not ask for permission nor forgiveness.
