In Reddit, a redditor is the term given to a user. Reddit allows redditors to avail premium access by paying a fee. Here we will see how to check whether a redditor has the premium access or not. We will be using the is_gold attribute of the Redditor class to check whether a redditor has the premium access or not.
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("Does " + redditor_name + " has an active Reddit Premium status? : " + str(redditor.is_gold)) |
Output :
Does spez has an active Reddit Premium status? : True
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("Does " + redditor_name + " has an active Reddit Premium status? : " + str(redditor.is_gold)) |
Output :
Does AutoModerator has an active Reddit Premium status? : True
