If I understand this correctly, Brightwork is essentially acting as a middleman between APIs and the developer. Are you creating new API auth tokens on behalf of each user or are you using only one token and using that to make all of the API calls? If it's the latter, how do you handle rate limiting?

Is this concept against the terms of third party APIs like Twitter/Facebook?

API auth tokens are per user per app.

I have not seen anything in the terms that would put us of of compliance.
