Due to abuse and overwhelming amounts of spam. It became no longer feasible
23+
to continue running the service for the small amount of legitimate users
24+
that exist. Unfortunately, several parties have been persistently attacking
25+
and abusing the provided service, making it impractical and impossible
26+
to properly moderate and monitor the normal usage of owo.vc.
27+
</p>
28+
<p>
29+
Effective immediately, links will no longer be able to be shortened via
30+
owo.vc. This is not a choice that has been made lightly, but it is one
31+
that will prevent additional abuse. Existing links will not be impacted,
32+
and will continue to function as intended for the foreseeable future.

owo.vc's original version 1 API endpoints will be deprecated on August 1, 2023. If you are a developer, please make

sure you update your applications to use the latest API version. For more information, check the

different ways that it has been used over the last several years.
