Some bridges could be implemented more efficiently by actually using proprietary APIs, but there are reasons against it:
- RSS-Bridge exists in the first place to NOT use APIs. See [https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/blob/master/README.md#rant](https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/blob/master/README.md#rant)
- APIs require private keys that could be stored on servers running RSS-Bridge, which is a security concern, involves complex authorizations for inexperienced users and could cause harm (when using paid services for example). In a closed environment (a server only you use for yourself) however you might be interested in using them anyway. So, checkout the [Extended Bridges](Extended-Bridges] page.
