Vine in the name so likely they will get you for trademarks.

Not a first ever, a few others have made clients and had them shut down, or severely throttled on requests per day. So you may or may not be the "only" for today, but that won't last.

I don't mean to be a total downer I'm sure it was hard work, but basically you built a sand castle on the beach at low tide and in a few hours the tide will come in and wash it away.

They can't throttle the access as the requests are made client side. It's the same as if you were using your smartphone to access vine except on a web browser. None of the content goes through my server, the only thing that is served by my server is the PHP that holds it all together and the JS.
