Separate/multiple API/GUI ports and authentication

one request: for those devices behind a router at home it would be nice to change the rest api port to a “only rest api port”. at the moment the api uses the port on which the gui is also available right?

Why? Everything you can do with the GUI, you can do with the REST API (and vice versa). Why restrict one, but not the other?
