The article is massively wrong and misleading. The API is NOT being shut down. Current applications can still work, but new ones are no longer being accepted.

The article is massively wrong and misleading. The API is NOT being shut down. Current applications can still work, but new ones are no longer being accepted.
See this tweet from Venmo:

> Don't worry, the Venmo API is still available to existing users, we're just not accepting new beta users for now.

- mclifton 11y agoI love that they're trying to pin this on Venmo, like it's somehow their problem and not a completely misleading article built on misinformation. > Venmo seems to be confused. According to statement below from Venmo and the message on the developer site, the API is no longer available. But now Venmo tells me the API is still available to existing developers, but not to new ones, which can be a sign of an impending shut down. We’ll update with more info soon once Venmo figures itself out. Parts of this article have been changed for accuracy.
