Is the API something that would be difficult or impossible for you to replicate on your own? If that&#x27;s the case, you might have to just stick it out. There&#x27;s nothing inherently wrong about building a business on top of an API, just there&#x27;s a higher risk factor involved if say, the company pulls a Twitter and guts the API or goes under etc.<p>Otherwise, I would advise possibly building a functional clone of the API in earnest (if you have the cycles available to do so) and keep it on the backburner until needed.
