They already closed down everything in 2015 setting up a permission review system with very silly criteria.

Silly indeed. I applied for it twice, having submitted a screen recording explaining what I was using it for. They gave me partial API access, pretty useless functionality. Not what I needed which was clearly explained in the second video.

The application felt like I was begging. Not something I'd ever do again.

Yes. I had many web projects that were cut short by the requirement that you had to submit a video of a working app to get access to the API.
