Could I ask why you didn't turn it into an API and pivot into an API as a service?

Yes - very straight forward answer to that: I did a lot of interviews with potential customers, and it was a deal breaker for virtually all of them. Basically, no one was foolish enough to build a startup that depends on a service which may or may not stay up and running, or go out of business and disappear completely.
