Dipa Mehta · Answer

You could/should make it harder to use a token. Implementing a max-usage per token a max life-time ... It is however impossible to know if it is the scriptkiddie or your 'application' contacting your api. A lot of people tend to forget that it is never the application calling the api it's the application telling the client what api to call. Everything else is based on trust. And on the internet trust is deprecated.
