If spammers want to spam, they will do by any means, heck they already do and they don’t need an API to do it, they make their own.

Further more Google is very good at handling spam, I’m sure this wouldn’t be a deal breaker.

You’d have to signup before you could use the API anyway.

It seems from looking how quickly it exploded on Twitter that an API that allows you to post is a spammer dream.
