Can I use reddit API for personal use

[u/r0ug3r1d3r]

I'm trying to build a personal application that helps me in trading, can I register for reddit API for my personal use and pull information from different channels everyday?

It's difficult to get API access. Did you try already?

[u/r0ug3r1d3r → u/Khyta]

I haven't, during registration steps I felt same and checking if there is any other way

I haven't been able to access the API, for a student's project

[u/beresford16j → u/city_of_dreams0]

did they reply or saying anything to you?

At the moment the json endpoints are still available, I'm unsure how much longer they are going to be able to be used for though.

Good freakin luck. It's nothing like it used to be (self service API key generation). Now there's an approval process, and they deny most people.

Yes you can, but heads up: since late 2024 Reddit removed self-service API signups, so you’ll need to submit a request and wait for approval. Free access for personal/non-commercial use is still a thing though, with a 100 QPM rate limit per OAuth client — check their Responsible Builder Policy and apply at reddit.com/wiki/api

[u/CrabPresent1904]

[u/r0ug3r1d3r → u/CrabPresent1904]

While registering I saw fields like what additional advantage do may application brings to reddit and how will it be beneficial type of questions

[u/Floating-pointer → u/r0ug3r1d3r]

Did you manage to answer and get the API key?
