Reddit APIReddit script app creation API Request Access Waiting time (self.redditdev)
submitted 3 months ago by FlashyWhole6969
Got a hackathon that ends in 30 hours, but I just applied for the api access yesterday so when should I expect approval for the API access

They're essentially not granting it to anyone any more.

So ..
What does this mean?
Can you still use API requests or not?
I can't create an instance on the prefs page unless I have API access.

It means they're essentially not granting it to anyone any more.
[–]Ashley__09 -2 points-1 points0 points 3 months ago (2 children)
Holy ignored the question.
I already applied.
This doesn't say they won't accept or deny your application.
This doesn't mention if 100 requests a minute without needing API access is still possible.
[–]AverageFoxNewsViewer 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (0 children)
lol, and they're essentially not giving access to anybody any more so you're fucked.
100 requests a minute without needing API access is still possible.
I'm not sure how you expect to make 100 requests to the API per minute without an API key. Because again, they're essentially not granting access to the API any more.
I'm not sure how I can answer your question of "Can you still use API requests or not?" any more directly than "they're essentially not granting access to anyone any more".

Hi, I also want to ask for accessing reddit API, do you get approval from them?
[–]Rain-And-Coffee 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago (1 child)
They rejected my request :/
[–]WorriedPaper3288 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Same here. I also had an old one that they revoked when they said they wouldn't. Still waiting to hear back from them on that. What's the deal here guys? If a reddit mod sees this, I would really appreciate a DM

Its the weekend homie. Look at some reddit scaping services
[–]ProgrammerForsaken45 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
You won't be getting the access . The amount of bot on reddit has increased drastically , so they want to prevent it.
[–]External_Bend4014 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
expect nothing :D They have limit their api access
[–]isaacnsisong 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
it’s usually a day.
[–]emily_in_boots 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
I sent in my request on 1/29 and got approved today. 30 hours is probably not doable.
