26 Jun, 2020
In Reddit, we can post a comment to any submission, we can also comment on a comment to create a thread of comments. Reddit assigns each and every comment with an identification. Here we will see how to fetch the ID of a comment using PRAW. We will be using the id
attribute of the Comment
class to fetch the ID of a comment.
Example 1 : Consider the following comment :
The ID of the comment is : fvib7aw
import praw
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)
comment_id = "fvib7aw"
comment = reddit.comment(comment_id)
id = comment. id
print ( "The ID of the comment is : " + id )
|
Output :
The ID of the comment is : fvib7aw
Example 2 : Consider the following comment:
The ID of the comment is : fv9qvgo
import praw
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)
comment_id = "fv9qvgo"
comment = reddit.comment(comment_id)
id = comment. id
print ( "The ID of the comment is : " + id )
|
Output :
The ID of the comment is : fv9qvgo
