Straight to jail.

I also could not understand what the “meddling” was, other than accessing data without using the rendered webpages? Did it use the API directly?

Only way I'd described using an API as meddling is if it wasn't a publicly documented API (yet was still unauthenticated) or if a bot stole a token from a repo or both.
