We recently experienced an interruption with API, and the ability to generate new oAuth-based applications has been restricted. I have reenabled that feature.
It was a service outage, they didn’t remove the API.
If they were planning to disable the API permanently, why would they reenable it? Maybe their explanation wasn’t thorough but to attribute it to malice is premature.
How would it benefit Medium to not allow third party apps to publish to their platform? This isn’t like Twitter where they had an incentive not to allow users to use unofficial apps to force advertising on them.
