We decided to build this after a friend and I discovered that you couldn't really quantify the Clinton emails. Yes, you can search on WL or WSJ, but it's much harder to gain any data-driven insights from that. Yes, you can search for "Benghazi", but can you query against a list of nearby Libyan cities, or run all emails containing the strings "Bernie" or "Sanders" through a sentiment analyzer, etc.
Not a school project, though it was a hobby project.

Was this directed at the previous commenter or the API itself?

The login requirement was only to prevent garbage requests. No intention to use the email addresses for any purpose other than authentication.
