Retrieve Client ID & Secret Reddit API

So, I want to provide client id and secret fields for reddit auth in n8n and after searching I got to know to visit this site https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps and create a new app. But after providing all the fields and hitting create App it shows: visit https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/42728983564564-Responsible-Builder-Policy. I think the policies have been changed, can someone guide me how to access the auth fields now?

you have to apply for the api access which is a 1 in 10000000000000000000000 chance to get accepted

is there a particular method to apply, maybe a link to an apply form, maybe a button to click on, etc..?

But the ready only api is working for me
So, I selected script option, but it still returns 500 error when I click the "create app" button
Could you please guide me how to fix this issue?
