Right, but you shouldn't do the initial population using
the API but rather you should start from a planet dump and
then use the replication feed for changes.

When it comes to feeding back a change the API is of course
the right thing to use - note that we prefer edits to be made
under the account of the person making the change rather then
batching them altogether under one account.
