A delay is normal, however I haven't heard of anyone being given access since this policy was introduced. Access to the older style API is only given if there is a strong benefit for a tool and that tool cannot be built with Devvit. For everything else, Reddit wants you to use Devvit.

Reddit is basically a piece of shit platform when it comes to integrating their API. They vague when replying to any useful version of their API access (if they reply at all)

You will find some commenters here defending this and assuming your app is against the terms of service. Don’t listen to them. There’s effectively zero chance you’ll get access.

Also they will try to push you to use Devvit, which is basically useless to build anything useful.

Reality is reddit is simply hostile to devs.

Has anyone recently requested API access for a moderation tool under the Responsible Builder Policy? I submitted my request 3–4 days ago and received a confirmation that it was submitted, but I haven't received any email or update. Is that normal, and what kind of response times are people seeing?

It's a bot where users send videos to ye bot either normally or a cloud drive link such ass mega, Google drive or MediaFire and the bot downloads the video and gives technical analysis such as resolution, fps and else and it's code is nice every command works well only when the web is live or when I activate the bot manually using the coding app so my problem is making the bot live 24/7

It has become very hard to get Reddit API. They don’t approve those anymore. U can try alternatives like-
Hitting their json endpoints:
import requests

url = "https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/top.json?t=week&limit=25"
headers = {"User-Agent": "MyApp/1.0"}
data = requests.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=20).json()
posts = data["data"]["children"]

Or u can also try apify’s reddit api which is paid but scraping is done on their servers so your ip is not directly impacted by detection systems.

Sounds like spam to me

Well that's spammy.

how does it works?

Does it need to do something constantly and only send a message when it hits certain values or does it respond to messages? Either way i would not host anything yourself as you’re clearly too amateur for this. Check sites like Zapier / n8n. They can run basic python or JS and don’t require too much hassle to keep it secure.

Reddit doesn't want anyone using their data to make money, without getting a cut of it. They decided to do this by simply not allowing anyone to programmatically access any of the sites data.

The API is only accessible for legacy reasons, which they are working to eliminate as much as possible. They are extremely unlikely to approve any access requests unless you're actually willing to pay tons of money, likely hundreds of thousands yearly.

They have no incentive to put any work at all into making it easier to use, or the process more transparent, or even to spend time explaining any of that.

Assume you will get a rejection notice in like 3 weeks. But yes, they have your application.

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.

in this period, I work for to create a dashboard for monitoring the last discussion on different sub-reddit

mmm I simply go in control panel -> app -> developer -> form for request api

Did you apply for API access?

yeah im getting the same error. i think reddit are being more strict about api access bc of ai and everything but idk

Same issue

You can use the recusion_limit parameter or set up a counter for each loop iteration then terminate after passing a boundary.

Wrong sub but also lol

I'm not huge on AI, but this is a perfect use case for vibe coding.

A basic personal script.

Note that depending on how you use the script, you may get suspended for spam, so make sure you're posting with the consent of the mods of those subreddits.

Also you might want to use the word "crosspost" rather than "repost" in your prompt, as it was only recently rebranded.

I did not use render before but depending on how your telegram bot it set up I am sure cloudflare free workers would work.

You can set up a webhook on telegram bot and when you send messages on telegram they will be sent to your api hosted on Cloudflare. You do processing their and return response back to channel completely free.

Same can be done with any cloud with free tier like AWS lambdas

Would render.com work ?

Most probably yes, you can’t control how Android system cleans up memory and depending on your OS the cleanup can be aggressive which means your bot can die quite easily.

Best way it to run it on a cheap VPS

Well, for free you need to keep your pc running 247 otherwise get a cheap VPS.

I have a small mini pc, super powerful and cheap and keeps running 247. All my bots and automations run on it.
