Yes, but that makes me question whether I'm doing right in writing a component to provide an easy and intuitive interface for your API, since if the API's endpoints are changing so frequently, my component will be rendered outdated soon.
If I sell this component to other developers that use it on their applications, I would like to have the confidence that it will work for several years.
Microsoft is not a good example in anything, but they usually guarantee at least for ten years their technologies to work.
I already worked about two or three months on this project, it converts many of your asynch API calls into synch functions in an object oriented schema.
It keeps locally the information of what is in a Dropbox account, and keep it synched calling to list_folder/longpoll
But now I'm wondering if I have chosen the right niche to work on.
