Not sure this was covered, and my geek-speek is kinda impaired lately with crap sleep.

My suggestion:
Force the API to recognize security levels (filters) on posts. As in, if there is no implementation of filter levels, the only posts the script/program can see are public ones.

Reason:
There was some hullabaloo a LONG time ago about one of the various third party LJ apps (I don't remember which one, it was at least a decade ago that I heard about this) being able to *completely* bypass post filters/security levels, allowing anyone using that particular app to see *any* post on a journal, regardless of whether the user was included on a filter for that post or not.
