When API goes bad?

 
 
 1. Companies can shut down services and APIs that your applications depend on—or they can go out of business entirely,
 
These kinds of service shutdowns can leave you in a lurch if your application depends on those APIs to function.
 
 2. Open APIs can be problematic for developers,
    however, because the company publishing the API has all the power.
    If the startup ever decides to change the terms of use for its API, for example, or decides to charge a fee for licensing the API, the third-party developer has no choice but to accept it and deal with it.
