Ask HN: An insurance to cover API changes?
Would you pay extra fees to cover risks of :
- API changing their terms of services, strategy (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc...)
- unnoticed API breaking changes
- hard technical failures, SLA not respected
To cover the cost of implementation, fix, migration to an competitor API, or business impacts.
All of this guaranteed by a 3rd-party well reknown insurer.
- srinathrajaram 9y agoI would. But I suspect that either your premiums will be so high for the risky sites (linkedin, facebook), that I could not afford it or I would clean up.
- seanwasere 9y agothe requirements of the insurance payout would be proof that you had adequate external api monitoring in place.
