Gone. Now you get OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Grant with 24-hour expiring tokens.</p> <p><strong>Etsy</strong>: OAuth 1.0? Deprecated. Now it&rsquo;s OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, 1-hour access tokens, and 90-day refresh tokens.</p> <p>Neither platform sent a billboard announcing this. The docs changed. The API still responds. But the <em>how</em> is entirely different.</p>
