Python PRAW – Getting the avatar icon of a redditor
In Reddit, a redditor is the term given to a user. Each and every redditor has an icon on their profile which is their online avatar. We will be using the icon_img()
attribute of the Redditor
class to fetch the URL of the redditor’s avatar.
Example 1 : Consider the following redditor :
The user name of the redditor is : spez.
import praw
import PIL
import urllib
client_id = ""
client_secret = ""
username = ""
password = ""
user_agent = ""
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id = client_id,
client_secret = client_secret,
username = username,
password = password,
user_agent = user_agent)
redditor_name = "spez"
redditor = reddit.redditor(redditor_name)
url = redditor.icon_img
print ( "The URL of the icon image of " + redditor_name +
" is : \n" + url)
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, "reddit.png" )
img = PIL.Image. open ( "reddit.png" )
img.show()
|
Output :
The URL of the icon image of prez is :
https://www.redditstatic.com/avatars/avatar_default_19_A06A42.png
Example 2 : Consider the following redditor :
The user name of the redditor is : AutoModerator
import praw
import PIL
import urllib
client_id = ""
client_secret = ""
username = ""
password = ""
user_agent = ""
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id = client_id,
client_secret = client_secret,
username = username,
password = password,
user_agent = user_agent)
redditor_name = "AutoModerator"
redditor = reddit.redditor(redditor_name)
url = redditor.icon_img
print ( "The URL of the icon image of " + redditor_name +
" is : \n" + url)
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, "reddit.png" )
img = PIL.Image. open ( "reddit.png" )
img.show()
|
Output :
The URL of the icon image of AutoModerator is :
https://styles.redditmedia.com/t5_1yz875/styles/profileIcon_klqlly9fc4l41.png?width=256&height=256&crop=256:256, smart&s=94486fc13b9ca9e154e9e8926e3d8c43ccc80be3
