Describe the bug
I added reddit url, then selected download but I get this error :

2026-06-03 13:42:28: Message: Root element is missing.

	StackTrace:    at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e)
	at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseDocumentContent()

	at System.Xml.Linq.XDocument.Load(String uri, LoadOptions options)
	at PersonalUtilities.Functions.XML.XmlFile.LoadData(ErrorsDescriber e)

To Reproduce
Profile URL: https://www.reddit.com/user/slh2c/submitted/

I also tried to follow this instruction to configure OAuth (https://github.com/AAndyProgram/SCrawler/wiki/Settings#how-to-get-reddit-credentials), but it doesn’t work. I always get this message:

In order to create an application or use our API you can read our full policies here: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/42728983564564-Responsible-Builder-Policy

So, I can’t proceed further.
