Blind API?

Is there a way to access all messages visible to my account on Blind via an API? I'd like to re rank posts and threads based on other factors, and build some tools for data mining (e.g. compensation stats, refreshers, bonuses, promotions etc).

I'm sure that's one of the ways they will monetize the platform, it would be stupid not to.

Just sniff your phones traffic. Do we have to do everything for you?

Blind's traffic is actually encrypted inside the SSL connection. So it's not trivial to reverse engineer it. Doesn't mean someone's not gonna do it, though

You didn't quite understand what I am saying. Yes it's easy to crack open SSL like that but on top of SSL Blind uses proprietary encryption, which you have to crack yourself.

Yea this must be the 5th time I post about blinds encryption. It has a 256 bit aes encryption with a 16 byte IV and CBC. The decryption is some permutation of your session secret.
