Is this working again?
I can't remember it now but this has come up before and there was a good technical reason for doing it this way.
@luca@social.luca.run / @Luca@vis.social would be able to explain it.

- I'm still using the API. Because each user auth has it's own rate limit, this allows fedifinder to get the data fresh and instantly.
- By authorizing people can use it with a private account, where the following list is not public.
- It prevents people from getting data for any account instead of just their own.
@feditips As far as I remember, it was never broken for more than a few days.
Really?? How did it survive the free API shutdown?
