In Reddit, we can post a comment to any submission, we can also comment on a comment to create a thread of comments. Here we will see how to fetch the author of a comment using PRAW. We will be using the author attribute of the Comment class to fetch the Redditor class of the author of a comment.
Example 1 : Consider the following comment :
The ID of the comment is : fvib7aw
# 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 ID of the comment comment_id = "fvib7aw" # instantiating the Comment class comment = reddit.comment(comment_id) # fetching the author attribute author = comment.author print("The name of the author is : " + author.name) |
Output :
The name of the author is : subarno
Example 2 : Consider the following comment:
The ID of the comment is : fv9qvgo
# 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 ID of the comment comment_id = "fv9qvgo" # instantiating the Comment class comment = reddit.comment(comment_id) # fetching the author attribute author = comment.author print("The name of the author is : " + author.name) |
Output :
The name of the author is : ketralnis
