In Reddit, a redditor is the term given to a user. Reddit allows the authenticated user to be “friends” with another redditor. Here we will see how to check whether a redditor is friends with the authenticated user or not. We will be using the is_friend
attribute of the Redditor
class to check whether a redditor is friends with the authenticated user 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 ( "Is " + redditor_name + " friends with the authenticated user? : " +
str (redditor.is_friend))
|
Output :
Is spez friends with the authenticated user? : False
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 ( "Is " + redditor_name + " friends with the authenticated user? : " +
str (redditor.is_friend))
|
Output :
Is AutoModerator friends with the authenticated user? : False
