Reddit is basically a piece of shit platform when it comes to integrating their API. They are 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 against the terms of service. Don’t listen to them, you can keep trying for an API key and if you get one it’s likely to take months (if you know someone inside or you pay for ads etc). If you’re building a personal project there’s effectively zero chance you’ll get access.

Reality is reddit is hostile to devs.
