Exciting news! The free API you were using is no more free!
Exciting news for who? Only the site owner is excited that a free resource now requires a subscription
"Yay! Now I have to pay another subscription! I'm so excited! Let's celebrate with them!" - nobody

If nobody gives them money, they'll revert back.. But people will give them money, so they won't.
You just have to move to the new API which is still free, the old one is temporarily still available by paying
Yeah he said the new one is REST.... Does that mean the current one is SOAP or something? Yikes
Looks like xmlrpc. The website for this spec no longer exists, so I definitely see a motivation to stop using it, lol.

But the new api is still free, you just have to pay if you want to use the legacy api. This makes sense to get people to switch without requiring them to do it super fast
People were already giving money before this change....
