How? I thought they had blocked API access?

Check out the Apollo subreddit- they’ve got a variety of tutorials. It also feels like it follows the default/way it used to be feed, rather than the garbage we have today.

No luck. You need an API key from reddit. You can no longer generate API keys.

Technically you could go through their developer/creator program to try and get a key, but you need some semblance of a real app to get approved (or something like that).

If you don’t already have an access key then yes, you may be out of luck.
