Ask HN: An insurance to cover API changes?

2 pointsmehdim9y ago1 comments

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.

I 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.
