In Reddit, a redditor is the term given to a user. Reddit gives us the functionality to add a redditor as a friend with the authenticated user. Here we will see how to befriend a redditor. We will be using the friend() method of the Redditor class to befriend a redditor.
friend()
Syntax : Redditor.friend(note)
Parameter :
- note : adds a note to the friendship, requires Reddit Premium, is optional
Returns : Nothing
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) # before using the friend() method print("Are the authenticated user and " + redditor.name + " friends? : " + str(redditor.is_friend)) # befriending the redditor redditor.friend() # after using the friend() method print("Are the authenticated user and " + redditor.name + " friends? : " + str(redditor.is_friend)) |
Output :

# 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) # before using the friend() method print("Are the authenticated user and " + redditor.name + " friends? : " + str(redditor.is_friend)) # befriending the redditor redditor.friend() # after using the friend() method print("Are the authenticated user and " + redditor.name + " friends? : " + str(redditor.is_friend)) |
