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.<p>See this tweet from Venmo:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;venmo&#x2F;status&#x2F;703353293326655488" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;venmo&#x2F;status&#x2F;703353293326655488</a><p><i>&gt; Don&#x27;t worry, the Venmo API is still available to existing users, we&#x27;re just not accepting new beta users for now.</i>
