    Somehow I doubt the actual spambots have applied for a developer API key. They’ll be fine.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if they had, actually.

      Still, a spam bot can just use the free license - they won’t make nearly as much api requests as a proper app would.

      The ones that make 60 posts per account per hour are easy to detect no matter how they post.
