Is this the final blow for Yahoo!'s finance API?

  Why would it be final? It seems to be quite successful, and any new owner would want to keep it that way

    Acquisitions often result in downsizing, aka "rightsizing" due to newfound efficiencies and synergies.

      Right, and they presumably do that to create value rather than destroy. How is that going to hurt Yahoo Finance again?

        There is zero upside to the free public API as far as I can tell. Granted it's low cost to keep it up, but it's not generating any revenue.

          It is generating revenue if it attracts customers to the paid tier.
