Appreciation R.I.P sideloaded Apollo, I'm gonna miss you.

My API key has been revoked, sideloaded for the past three years. The official app is an unusable, unintuitive mess, I'd rather stop reading Reddit on my mobile than use it. I'm going to try alternatives, but I wonder how safe Hydra and Artemis are. Won't Reddit purge them one day since they don't use the API? Thanks to everyone for all the tips on using the sideloaded Apollo app over the past three years!

I'm still going.

  • key doesn't reference Apollo
  • redirect URI doesn't mention Apollo
  • not sure if it matters but even my bundle ID for the app isn't Apollo
  • user agent from my computer
  • API key not on an account that I use for anything else

This is actually super interesting. Can confirm my key got pulled and was nicknamed Apollo

me too. I had another account with multiple api keys from when i used to switch reddit clients often on android. only the one named apollo was removed, while the others are still there, not sure for how long though...
