Ask HN: Are you willing to pay for a Summly-like API?
I have an algorithm that gets the most important sentences of a news article. Yes, like Summly does. I created an API for it where in you can use it to anything you can think of. Example: You can use it to provide "teasers" for your blog posts. Right now, I'm currently using it and embed it in some of my blog posts [1].
So my question is, are you willing to pay for an API like this?

- al1x 13y agoThere are too many open source alternatives for me to consider paying for something like this. Plus, API's are risky to integrate -- you'll never be able to guarantee the 100% uptime that you get from using a library. Libraries don't go down.
