Python PRAW – Getting the subreddit on which a comment is posted 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. Here we will see how to fetch the subreddit in which the comment has been posted using PRAW. We will be using the subreddit
attribute of the Comment
class to fetch subreddit class of the subreddit in which the comment has been posted.
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 subreddit attribute subreddit = comment.subreddit print ( "The name of the subreddit is : " + subreddit.display_name) |
Output :
The name of the subreddit is : aww
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 subreddit attribute subreddit = comment.subreddit print ( "The name of the subreddit is : " + subreddit.display_name) |
Output :
