Sadly, that is the prevailing attitude for most, if not all MMO developers. Trion, maker of Rift, did for some time have an official API documented. However, when ZorbaTHut (he of QuestHelper) left the employ of Trion, all API documentation stagnated.
Rift does have newer APIs than when Zorba was lead API developer, but none of the additions, removals, and changes are documented officially.
Of course, as we know, Blizzard has never released official documentation for WoW's API, as as far as I know, no other developer documents their APIs either.
MMO developers love their AddOn communities, but don't seem to be inclined to participate.
