Last Updated :
21 Jun, 2020
In Reddit, a redditor is the term given to a user. Each and every redditor has a username chosen by them during registration. Here we will see how to fetch the username of a redditor. We will be using the name
attribute of the Redditor
class to fetch the username.
Example 1 : Consider the following redditor :
The user name of the redditor is : spez.
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)
redditor_name = "spez"
redditor = reddit.redditor(redditor_name)
print ( "The username is : " + redditor.name)
|
Output :
The username is : spez
Example 2 : Consider the following redditor :
The user name of the redditor is : AutoModerator
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)
redditor_name = "AutoModerator"
redditor = reddit.redditor(redditor_name)
print ( "The username is : " + redditor.name)
|
Output :
The username is : AutoModerator
