No — not the way the internet still tells you. Since Reddit's Responsible Builder Policy of November 2025, the self-serve "create app" button no longer creates anything; it routes you to the policy. The only remaining path is a Data Access Request, which is reviewed by a human and can be refused outright.
Self-serve app creation is closed. Verified dead in the live portal on 17 Jun 2026. API: Reddit API.
The real timeline
Dates from PostWire's own submission, not an estimate.
17 Jun 2026 Confirmed in the live portal that "create app" no longer creates an app.
17 Jun 2026 Data Access Request submitted; Reddit replies by email in roughly 2-4 weeks.
Gotchas nobody documents
Most tutorials and Stack Overflow answers about creating a Reddit script app are now obsolete. If a guide tells you to visit the prefs/apps page and click create, it predates November 2025.
The request asks for a developer role and a public product URL. "App not supported by Devvit" is the relevant role for an external integration.
Approval is not guaranteed. Plan for Reddit being unavailable rather than treating it as a delay.
Media requirements
Optional, and subreddit rules vary more than the API does.
Or skip the review entirely
PostWire has already been through this. You post through PostWire's approved app, so there is no submission,
no demo video and no waiting.

Can I skip Reddit approval by using PostWire?
Yes. PostWire has already been through this review, so you post to Reddit through PostWire's approved app with one REST call or one MCP tool call, and never file a submission yourself.
