According
to Niantic CEO John Hanke, a decision the company felt it had to make
to ensure the game was played fairly and to reduce the amount of strain
being placed on its servers. "We have limited access by third-party
services which were interfering with our ability to maintain quality of
service for our users and to bring Pokémon GO to users around the
world," Niantic wrote in a Facebook post on Monday.
The creator of the most popular Pokémon Go mapping API has not received a cease and desist letter.
That API is still available at GitHub as well. Enabling people to use bots to play the game would seem to be where Niantic and The Pokémon Company draw the line. It even now appears hacking and taking advantage of exploits is now a reason for a permanent game ban.
The Pokémon Company has banned Mila432 from accessing any Pokémon-related service, and it's also asking the developer remove the API from GitHub within seven days. The letter was first received on July 28th and the API remains live over at GitHub, where it has been starred more than 2,250 times. Mila432 was not immediately available for comment.
