Python PRAW – Getting the ID of the submission that a comment belongs to 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 comment is always posted on a submission. Here we will see how to fetch the ID of the submission that a comment belongs to using PRAW. We will be using the is_submitter attribute of the Comment class to fetch the ID of the submission that a comment belongs to.

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 link_id attribute
link_id = comment.link_id 
  
print("The submission ID of the comment is : " + link_id)


Output :

The submission ID of the comment is : t3_hczt0c

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 link_id attribute
link_id = comment.link_id 
  
print("The submission ID of the comment is : " + link_id)


Output :

The submission ID of the comment is : t3_hbjhnk
