it looks like another free native API is biting the dust. Joining the trend from Xing, Scoop.it and Facebook image sharing website 500px is shutting down its API.

Shutting down API access
In January, we removed public access to our API. 500px has always fostered creativity with technology, but due to shifting business priorities, we’ve now decided to shut down the API completely. This decision is part of a larger strategic shift—focusing our energy on continuing to build the world’s best photography community at 500px.com, as well as strengthening our asset protection and improving our site’s performance.
As of June 15, we’ll be shutting down all access to the API, which means you will no longer be able to use it to pull images or data.
We will consider the possibility of creating our own API for 500px.
Hi,
Just wondering. Is there already an alternative for the 500x API?
At the moment I’m not able to do anything on 500px automatically.
Can’t add or register an application either at 500px.
They’re not even responding to my questions even though I’m a Pro member.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
Thnx

Not, yet. we are still considering creating our own API for 500x
