      What rules? Why does reddit generate API keys for the users if they are not allowed to use it?

          “Moron” would mean that that asshole did it by accident. Steve Huffman is a fucking, capitalistic greedy fucker and should be fired and deported to Apples HQ in Russia. Would be the perfect place for him.

        I also don’t understand this. If I have my own, personal API key, and supposedly I can use it for free. Then if I write my own app, without releasing it on Play Store, I can’t use it with my own API key? Why not? Is there any mentioning of this explicitly against the rules?

          Yes, check the TOS

          Also you can’t have a part of the app that prompts a user to create a api key

          Edit: I’m not sure if this is true after a few comments on reddit. I’ll see if I can get clarification from the dev

            Afaik I can request my key on Reddit. Then I, all by myself, create an Android app for myself, completely from scratch, never release it to anywhere, just have it on my phone. It would be personal use, would it not?
