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.
Can PostWire skip this for you?
Not yet. PostWire is in the same queue: its Data Access Request has not been granted, so publishing to Reddit is not available on PostWire today. When it is, Reddit will be one more string in the platforms array of the same POST /api/post call and the same post_to_social MCP tool.
Or skip the queue
Reddit is not available on PostWire yet, but PostWire already holds the TikTok, Meta and YouTube approvals, so connecting those accounts is an OAuth click instead of a submission. Free for one brand — 30 posts a month, no card. Starter is $9/month for three brands and 300 posts.

Can I skip Reddit approval by using PostWire?
Not yet. PostWire's own Data Access Request has not been granted, so publishing to Reddit is not available on PostWire today. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook Pages and YouTube, where PostWire does hold the approvals, are live.
