The owo.vc link generation API has been disabled until further notice due to abuse and overwhelming amounts of spam. It became no longer feasible to continue running the service for the small amount of legitimate users that exist. The original API documentation exists below.
The owo.vc API is allowed for programmatic use to anyone free of charge.
Abuse of the API can and will lead to access being revoked. It is
requested that you provide contact information in the
User-Agent
header, but not required.
