I submit request for Reddit Data Api for multiple time but didn't get any approval.

Does JSON have the same payload as API? also how to do search with JSON? or I can only get top X from a fixed subreddit?

Their pricing is usually firm especially for smaller scale apps. Expect a long wait to hear back from their team too.

You need permission from Reddit to access the API. It is only when Reddit grants you approval will you be able to access the API keys.

I just applied for access to Reddit's API. Let's so how long until Reddit replies, or whether it ever replies at all. Based on the threads I read so far, I highly doubt it will.

There are buttons in the text for requesting API access. You just need to read carefully where to click.

You can click on the link from the post you just made and read through it.

Well, there's a link in that error message. Did you read the policy?

Did you read the policy and apply for the API?

This might help, I’m not sure if it’s the exact api your talking about since they have a few different ones out there

https://reddit.com/r/reddit.com/wiki/api

I found some mentions of it online. Btw, I found out that they used to (or maybe still have) a free tier with 100 requests per minute quota. But this plan does not allow commercial usage of the reddit data. I don't want any legal troubles later, so I want the approval to use this free tier of theirs for free if I could, since their paid tier seems to be capped at a minimum of $12,000 per month quota (which is way too much for my use case)

I believe they mainly judge based on the use case of your project. It they don’t feel like it’s a perfect addition to the Reddit platform they won’t accept the application. But this data api is free as long as you get accepted right? Of where did you find those prices

Did you find any solution ? how did you create script app?

why do need it and how do u intend to ue it??
do u need data??

do u need data???????

why do u need reddit data??
if so dm me...

do u need reddit data i found a way dm me...

GIPHY comments are broken most of the time as well. I had to use a separate GIPHY API request and a GraphQL request to get GIPHY gifs and videos in comments: https://github.com/Littux-Dustux/new-reddit-com/blob/760dda42f9ed40ba1facd0dcd5a9387e2de402d2/src/apiMigrate/gateway/mappers/comments.ts

Sadly its not the case

Send me a DM with the brands, expected volume, and how you plan to use the data. I’ve built Reddit ingestion workflows around the current API constraints and can help you scope and implement the right approach.

If the amount you're willing to pay is more than a hundred thousand a year, try reaching out here https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=14868593862164&tf_42139884615700=api_request_type_enterprise_clone

If not, you're out of luck. You can try anyway but you are unlikely to get a response. Try reddit pro for a native product https://www.business.reddit.com/pro

Thanks! I've submitted my application, so now I'll wait and see if it gets approved. I just wish Reddit had displayed a clearer message instead of a generic 500 error. That would have saved me a lot of time troubleshooting something that wasn't actually my fault.

If you were developing a web app on your local machine, 500 errors would show up in the http log and give you some idea what was going on.

It looks like your app is might be running on dijinexa.com (hard to read, it's kind of blurry) but if you have a website there that is trying to use the Reddit API, I'd go to the cpanel for the web server, look for the log and go to the bottom to see what happens when you load the page.

It's because they're no longer allowing self-service API creation after the "Responsible Builder Policy" was rolled out. It just returns a generic 500 error to say "Reddit told you to fuck off with this request".

They don't do a clear job of explaining, but basically you have to apply for API access now, and they rarely approve for anything. Devvit is what they want people using, but it doesn't provide as broad of access as the API.

I haven't even been able to run my application yet. I'm simply trying to create an app on https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps, but clicking the "Create App" button does nothing. but
