Python PRAW – Getting the link karma of a redditor
In Reddit, a redditor is the term given to a user. Reddit karma is the score you get for posting and commenting on Reddit. Here we will see how to fetch the karma obtained by posting submissions on Reddit by a redditor. We will be using the link_karma attribute of the Redditor class to fetch the link karma.
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("The link karma of " + redditor_name + " is : " + str(redditor.link_karma)) |
Output :
The link karma of spez is : 130856
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("The link karma of " + redditor_name + " is : " + str(redditor.link_karma)) |
Output :
The link karma of AutoModerator is : 10815
