> how much does Macgyver cost? Mashape takes a % of what I charge users We allow you to name your own price and that is how much you will receive from those who use your program. However the client facing price will be higher as we tack on our additional processing overhead and a fixed percentage fee.

Right, and that's the cost information I'm looking for.

Got it, we will add this information and post it when it's up.

It shouldn't be an issue - the API currently sits on Google's Cloud Platform which provides the infrastructure and tools to scale the service. IMO Snapchat's usage of the platform really speaks to the stability and capability of it.

If I am going to trust you my API I want to know that you have top notch SLAs on your service, and since I am providing the code you are going to want to monitor the heck out of it so that you know that in case of failure whose fault it is.

Understood, we will work on finding that info and surfacing it on the site. As far as monitoring and errors go, the program is actually hosted by us in this case. So unless the program is faulty in some way any response issue is probably our fault.
