Topic: Bitly authorization fails - says APIs no longer supported...

... therefore it recommends falling back on using the OAUTH2 scheme. They changed it recently, was able to shorten links just a few days ago. I'm talking about Dropzone 3 on my older macOS on my older Mac.I'll update about High Sierra situation.

BTW, Google shortening fails too because Google complains about the obsolete OAUTH used by the appropriate action.

Google URL shortening is deprecated. Dropzone 4 replaces this with TinyURL to do shortening instead.

I think the Bit.ly action should be able to be updated to work but this is a bigger project. On my list of things to look at though.

Just checked Bitly in Dropzone 3 on High Sierra. Strangely, it works as expected. No in Mavericks, Yes in High Sierra.

Here's the connection log
