That's weird, if there is an API then why not make it available. If it's
security or load dependent concerns just put something in front of it.
As long as the API works over http (what it should!) then things like
CloudFlare (free) are a good idea. You could setup rules to force
caching of results for one minute or oven an entire day. And as soon as
you cache, even for a few seconds, the real IP will never be exposed to
peers. That crushes down any valid concerns you, or he, could have.
