In Reddit, a redditor is the term given to a user. Each and every redditor has a unique ID provided to them. Here we will see how to fetch the ID of a redditor. We will be using the id attribute of the Redditor class to fetch the ID of a redditor.
Example 1 : Consider the following redditor :
The user name of the redditor is : spez.
# importing the module import praw # initialize with appropriate values client_id = "" client_secret = "" username = "" password = "" user_agent = "" # creating an authorized reddit instance reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id = client_id, client_secret = client_secret, username = username, password = password, user_agent = user_agent) # the name of the redditor redditor_name = "spez" # instantiating the Redditor class redditor = reddit.redditor(redditor_name) print("The ID of " + redditor_name + " is : " + redditor.id) |
Output :
The ID of prez is : ejpa
Example 2 : Consider the following redditor :
The user name of the redditor is : AutoModerator
# importing the module import praw # initialize with appropriate values client_id = "" client_secret = "" username = "" password = "" user_agent = "" # creating an authorized reddit instance reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id = client_id, client_secret = client_secret, username = username, password = password, user_agent = user_agent) # the name of the redditor redditor_name = "AutoModerator" # instantiating the Redditor class redditor = reddit.redditor(redditor_name) print("The ID of " + redditor_name + " is : " + redditor.id) |
