This wikipedia list is missing a lot of APIs, it seems more related to products -- For example, the QPX API (which I used) was shut down this April and is nowhere in that list. Your numbers are lower than they should be.


I'm pretty sure the qpx API was a purchase, not something Google started. So it's arguable that you can categorize it the same way.


I'm pretty sure shutting down critical parts of acquired products is a major part of the problem.


agreed. Just because they were acquired doesn’t mean that the acquisition customers didn’t feel the pain from being forced deprecated


Notable there would be the recent incident where Twitter bought some ML startup for abuse analysis and shut down customers overnight with almost no warning.
