No it is not, never not post a full API to some internet page

No it is not, never not post a full API to some internet page API's are read-only access to info and don't provide any form of EvE account logon, so please expand on how 'not safe'?
Sure, it does not provide real life information directly, if you were cautious with what you do in game. But I'm not sure everybody is aware, that a full API provides your mails, your wallet transactions, your inventory, your location, your industry jobs, your market orders, etc. on all chars ...which allows a 3rd party to compile a nice profile about your life in New Eden.
To interact with 3rd party software you are using restricted APIs.

Where you cross the line into autism is by portraying EvE API's as 'unsafe', when there are no internet security concerns with it, just your personal preference not to allow a recruiter to see what you have been up to IN EVE. Thats a TOON privacy concern, NOT a personal security/safety one, or a real-life information one.

Yes, it's char privacy. Yes, we all live in a perfect rational world, where people read Terms of Use and strictly separate social interaction with their chars in-game and real-life interaction (on both sides). Also seeing char information exploited could negatively influence your real-life experience playing that char. Hence it's not just plain safe, there are risks you need to be aware of, even if they are not directly connected to your account.

Here is a tool commonly used by recruiters to do audits. Cut yourself full keys and load them there to see what they can see. 'onepage' summary is dank. F
Before we lose context, I replay the question/answer leading to the dispute. I think the meaning of "anything" does not restrict the potential scope of answers to only real life threats.
