So? If you don’t want people using your APIs there are ways to block them. If it’s public, don’t complain.

That's exactly what Haier is doing, just via legal means than technical ones.

We actually have a public self-serve API. In some cases, if I've tried the diplomatic approach, I've had to actually shut off API access to get someone to even respond to me.

In this case, it appears they've taken the same access/creds as the mobile app maybe?

Another one of our platforms we cert-pinned the API to prevent this as well.

Yes there are ways, the other part we don't know is if they went straight to the legal route or not.

Haier is abusing the threat of legal action that’s not the same thing
