In Reddit, a redditor is the term given to a user. Each and every redditor has an icon on their profile which is their online avatar. We will be using the icon_img() attribute of the Redditor class to fetch the URL of the redditor’s avatar.
Example 1 : Consider the following redditor :
The user name of the redditor is : spez.
# importing the module import praw import PIL import urllib # 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) # fetching the URL of the image url = redditor.icon_img print("The URL of the icon image of " + redditor_name + " is : \n" + url) # displaying the image urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, "reddit.png") img = PIL.Image.open("reddit.png") img.show() |
Output :
The URL of the icon image of prez is : https://www.redditstatic.com/avatars/avatar_default_19_A06A42.png
Example 2 : Consider the following redditor :
The user name of the redditor is : AutoModerator
# importing the module import praw import PIL import urllib # 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) # fetching the URL of the image url = redditor.icon_img print("The URL of the icon image of " + redditor_name + " is : \n" + url) # displaying the image urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, "reddit.png") img = PIL.Image.open("reddit.png") img.show() |
Output :
The URL of the icon image of AutoModerator is : https://styles.redditmedia.com/t5_1yz875/styles/profileIcon_klqlly9fc4l41.png?width=256&height=256&crop=256:256, smart&s=94486fc13b9ca9e154e9e8926e3d8c43ccc80be3
