Python PRAW – Blocking a redditor

In Reddit, a redditor is the term given to a user. Here we will see how to block a redditor as the authenticated user using PRAW. We will be using the block() method of the Redditor class to block a redditor.

block()

Syntax : Redditor.block()

Parameter : None

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 redditor to be blocked
redditor_name = "spez"
  
# instantiating the Redditor class
redditor = reddit.redditor(redditor_name)
  
# blocking the redditor
redditor.block()


Output :

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 redditor to be blocked
redditor_name = "AutoModerator"
  
# instantiating the Redditor class
redditor = reddit.redditor(redditor_name)
  
# blocking the redditor
redditor.block()
