I have all kinds of product ideas from this API, but have the same fears as you.. can't rely on an API.

So for now, my best idea is to use it to build something fun with my kids.

If only Google would adopt some sort of policy where they would let you download the dataset+code when they shut something off...

Yeah, if they could make some sort of commitment to open it up in the event that they no longer want to run it, problem solved. (mostly, at least; pricing adjustments could still be disruptive for certain applications)
