The only reason API links are made is for programs to get direct access to your account without having to flood the servers with logins each time they request something from the server. So, you won't get banned from using the API link for it's purpose. Besides, the only program that makes requests to the server is Flash Player. They won't notice what browser/program you're running to run Flash.
