Redgifs API now blocked from hotlinking - anyone had luck getting an API key?

Post Body
Redgifs seems to have finally blocked hotlinking their videos using the video URL’s in the public API. Any direct link to the HD MP4 url is blocked by cloudflare. I had been using the API with a bespoke scraper app to backup reddit user profiles.
Seems that the only way to get direct hotlink downloads without downloading the web page and extracting the one time URL and token there is to register an app with them for an API key. Anyone tried? Had success registering ‘personal’ non public apps?
