I am going to be in the minority here but I think that even in this day and age (2016) it is ok to produce a product which has a majority of it's value derived from a 3rd party API. In doing so though I think that you need to come to the terms that you are unable to reliably forecast for anymore than 24 hours ahead in time. The API access that you depend on can be Twittered out of existence (i.e. firehose). It could be Parsed out of existence (graceful exit from market) . Or it could be Basecamped (delayed?) into existence at some point in the future. I think DHH & Co. are legitimately going to release this but it just isn't high on the priority list for them. I don't think you can fault them for having their own list of internal priorities that may or may not involve helping 3rd parties at the speed at which those 3rd parties require.
