{% hint style="warning" %}
**API access requires pre-approval**

Reddit closed self-service access to their public data API in November 2025. Now, Reddit require manual approval before you can create new apps. Review Reddit's [Responsible Builder Policy](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/42728983564564-Responsible-Builder-Policy) and submit a request via [Reddit's Developer Support form](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=14868593862164).
{% endhint %}

Once approved, create a [third-party app](https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps). Visit the previous link, or go to your **profile > Settings > Privacy > Third-party app authorizations > are you a developer? create an app**. and use these settings:

* Copy the **OAuth Callback URL** from n8n and use it as your app's **redirect uri**.
* The app's client ID displays underneath your app name. Copy that and add it as your n8n **Client ID**.
* Copy the app's **secret** and add it as your n8n **Client Secret**.
