From a quick skim of the repository, it looks like this is only for accessories/devices that you own. I hope that this is the case, and that it doesn't work for the "Find My Friends" functionality.

I'm okay sharing my location with trusted people so that they can occasionally manually check where I currently am. I don't like the idea of them theoretically being able to automatically record my location and build a complete history of my movements over time.

Yeah, uh... you might do well to assume that they can. The Find My Friends API is really really simple, I have a script somewhere that can pull the locations of everyone who has shared their locations with me and record it.

(I'm also the one who wrote the original code that was refactored a couple times until it became this project... https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush/blob/async/examples/ope...)
