a good API has documentation and wouldn't introduce random, breaking changes
The changes don't have to be breaking, if the HTML is well designed. Adding or removing an intermediate tag is OK as long as the data tags have identifiers to avoid having to write complex, fragile XPath queries.
Well established methods for authorization that is easy to use from code/cli and so on.
