Huh? Where did you get the idea that I provide any data related to sMerit? I only provide data for merit transactions and merit profiles, and merit profiles have earned and sent merit, and that's all.
As for BPIP, the difference is that this is an API rather than an app, the goal of API is for other people to build on top of it. I have created a userscript that displays user's earned merit below their actual merit in threads, by requesting this data from this API. One can create some merit statistics tool based on my API without having to do any scraping themselves.
I am deeply sorry to you. I mis-remembered what I saw in the image you posted with your script, in the second post. That shows eMerits, not sMerits. Once again, I am sorry because of my carelessness.

Ok, now I understood you do.
As being said, even if you provide sMerits with your script, there is nothing wrong from you. When people (users) want to use any tool, they can do it positively or negatively, you can control that.
