That isn't how they work. As with all online games, the data for your account and characters is stored on the developer's servers. Your console doesn't know anything other than what the servers tell it at any given time. Since the data is on their servers, they can do whatever they want with it to make these web services.

The API addons use are PC only as consoles don't support addons. Furthermore, addons don't have access to anything outside of the game. Even if you were to run the game on a PC, there's no way for an addon to communicate directly with any phone app.
