So basically it’s like this:

Anet make public some of their code so that third party developers can build tools that interface with the game and can extract useful information. Things like what price something is on the trading post, or how much your stuff is worth in this case.

And it’s safe because Anet limit the values that can be called up by the third party programs and because you have to give them permission to look at your stuff by generating an API key and submitting it to be used. Additionally, data can be called up, but not changed. So a third party program could tell you everything you have in your bank, but it couldn’t empty your bank out and mail all your hard-earned riches off character, nor could it change your password.

Anet publics the API that let third party developers access lot of different information. Read only, not write. So they can’t change anything in your account. And it is safe because they are the information Anet chooses to public.

Then using that raw information, the developer presents it in his own way. It all depends on the creativity of the developer. If there’s something missing, it’s either the developer didnt think of it, missed it or it’s not available.
