I'm due to meet with a developer/sales person from a new 3rd party resource we're about to start using. The main topic I'll be interested in, is their API as I will be the developer making use of it and explaining it to the rest of the team.

What questions would you recommend asking?

Things I'm already thinking about are:

  • What happens and how will I be notified when they depreciate a method?
  • Is there ever any downtime?
  • Who will I deal with first when I have API issues?
