# Open Source License API

All API requests are ``GET`` requests and all responses are strings to make consuming the API via terminal or console simple.

# Open Source License API
Version: **1.0**
The original PHP source for [https://licenses.holly.sh](https://licenses.holly.sh) from 2018 when it was hosted on another domain.
[Documentation](DOCUMENTATION.md)
## Transparency Notice
This project has been shared again for historical purposes. Due to privacy concerns, I have removed my full name and (now) dead company's links from the following files:
- `README.md`
- `DOCUMENTATION.md`
- `LICENSE.txt`
- `spec.yaml`
I have also updated the README to provide more information before archiving the project as well as used `git filter-repo` to update my information. Everything else remains untouched.
## Project Status
This version of the project is **DEPRECATED** and development is **ABANDONED**. This has been re-written in Rust as of 2023. The new version is found here and is still supported: [license-api-rs](https://git.holly.sh/license-api-rs.git/about).
## Breaking Issues
The [Fat-Free Framework](https://github.com/bcosca/fatfree) seems mostly unchanged from 2018, and this project has a *LOT* of code smell. **I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THIS IN NEW DEPLOYMENTS!!!** In fact, when probing the endpoints for the Rust re-write in order to compare output, I managed to crash the server by calling an invalid route!
## Disclaimer
As outlined in the **Breaking Issues** section of this readme, this has some serious issues. **I am not responsible for anything if you get pwned for using an out-of-date PHP project.**
