Commercial Use of Google Dashboards API

[usman_ali1411988]

Hi, 

I have been using the google dashboards api to do pie charts, column charts etc in the web application I am developing at work.l can understand that google dasboards api is free. However is it suitable for commercial use because the application that I will develop will be used by many users. Additionally, If the api get depreciated nothing would work which can create major problem. Please let me know if its a good idea or suitable for a such a commercial product usage. Thanks

My issue with online APIs like this is that you can't guarantee that this will always be around (knowing Google's penchant for clearing up little-used projects), or choose the version that you know works (unlike jquery...)

I have a feeling that my own project will break after a while and I'll need to change some API calls or move to the new Material charts, or a new chart API altogether...

This is a nice quick and easy API, but I too have similar long-term concerns...
