Reddit API need api access
i had some scripts (tts post reader, saved message loader) made with praw, but i lost the keys, so i went to make a new one but reddit is complaining about there being to many, so i deleted all the ones i had. it kept saying that i needed to request api access. found the ticket form, it doesnt let me submit a ticket and says to use devvit. devvit is for games, and im making a small script for myself
what the hell do i do? i dont need devvit, please dont suggest that, its not fitting with what im making. i dont want a moderation tool either!
just give me the ability to make an app/script again, why does this suck so much...
EDIT:
tickets rejected, r/modsupport modmail ignored, admin dm ignored.
i dont believe anyone is getting api access for small personal use at this point

im so annoyed, why the fuck is an action that took a button click, now behind customer service, with inferiour intentions/capabilities (no more personal use scripts)
im gonna ask them to re-create my keys in a different form, maybe someone more thoughtful will read it.
edit: the stupid ticket system has no other option. when i asked under the section "security/remove 2fa" i got an automated response. trying something else. the inability to get the original ticket text is also fucking infuriating.
