That's a fair point - we've been trying to determine the best way to compress "using reverse-engineered private APIs in violation of their terms, but in practice brokerages don't really take enforcement actions against this," and "direct integrations" is what we came up with. We'll work on finding a better way to express this and are open to suggestions.

I think "unofficial API" is probably the most succinct phrase without being dishonest. A direct integration does imply some kind of professional relationship with the other company.

This sounds good - thank you for the feedback.
