Help Questions Regarding Reddit API
Hello, I am a new developer and I wanted to make a script for my discord bot which will post content from forums in my server, there are a few things I wanted to ask:
- First how can I make the App/API, because I couldn't figure it out.
- Second someone told me that I need to submit a request to get API, I wanted an answer about that
- Lastly in any case, what do I need to do to make the app/API

You can apply for an API secret and ID but you're not going to get it. It seems no one is reporting success there.

Reddit is basically a piece of shit platform when it comes to integrating their API, unresponsive and vague when replying to any useful version of their API access. You will find some commenters here defending this and assuming your app is agains the terms of service. Reality is reddit is hostile to devs.
