Python PRAW – Checking whether a comment is stickied or not in Reddit

In Reddit, we can post a comment to any submission, we can also comment on a comment to create a thread of comments. A moderator of a subreddit can mark any comment as stickied. Here we will see how to check whether a comment is stickied or not using PRAW. We will be using the stickied attribute of the Comment class to check whether a comment is stickied or not.

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 stickied attribute
stickied = comment.stickied
    
if stickied == False:
    print("The comment is not stickied.")
else:
    print("The comment has been marked stickied.")


Output :

The comment is not stickied.

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 stickied attribute
stickied = comment.stickied
    
if stickied == False:
    print("The comment is not stickied.")
else:
    print("The comment has been marked stickied.")


Output :

The comment is not stickied.
