This... My worry is that they will revert my data AFTER the api calls. I'm not keen on deleting thousands of comments by hand. Remember that after the API changes all those tools will become unavailable.
There are some tools that use a script instead of an api call
A tool being a script doesn't mean it's not using API calls. Although I suppose an autoit script could be used to find delete buttons on a screen. Still a pain in the butt rather than just using the API calls.
Clicking the delete button on the website just makes your browser send API calls (albeit maybe a different, private API than other scripts may use)
