Subreddit

class asyncpraw.models.Subreddit(reddit: asyncpraw.Reddit, display_name: str | None = None, _data: Dict[str, Any] | None = None)

A class for Subreddits.

To obtain an instance of this class for r/test execute:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")

To obtain a lazy instance of this class for subreddit r/test execute:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")

While r/all is not a real subreddit, it can still be treated like one. The following outputs the titles of the 25 hottest submissions in r/all:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("all")
async for submission in subreddit.hot(limit=25):
    print(submission.title)

Multiple subreddits can be combined with a + like so:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("redditdev+learnpython")
async for submission in subreddit.top(time_filter="all"):
    print(submission)

Subreddits can be filtered from combined listings as follows.

Note

These filters are ignored by certain methods, including comments, gilded(), and SubredditStream.comments().

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("all-redditdev")
async for submission in subreddit.new():
    print(submission)

Typical Attributes

Note

This table describes attributes that typically belong to objects of this class. Async PRAW dynamically provides the attributes that Reddit returns via the API. Since those attributes are subject to change on Reddit’s end, Async PRAW makes no effort to document any new/removed/changed attributes, other than to instruct you on how to discover what is available. As a result, this table of attributes may not be complete. See Determine Available Attributes of an Object for detailed information.

If you would like to add an attribute to this table, feel free to open a pull request.

`can_assign_link_flair`	Whether users can assign their own link flair.
`can_assign_user_flair`	Whether users can assign their own user flair.
`created_utc`	Time the subreddit was created, represented in Unix Time.
`description`	Subreddit description, in Markdown.
`description_html`	Subreddit description, in HTML.

send_replies – When True, messages will be sent to the submission author when comments are made to the submission (default: True).
spoiler – Whether the submission should be marked as a spoiler (default: False).
url – The URL for a link submission.

Returns:

A Submission object for the newly created submission.

Either selftext or url can be provided, but not both.

For example, to submit a URL to r/test do:

title = "Async PRAW documentation"
url = "https://asyncpraw.readthedocs.io"
subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
await subreddit.submit(title, url=url)

For example, to submit a self post with inline media do:

from asyncpraw.models import InlineGif, InlineImage, InlineVideo

image = InlineImage(path="path/to/image.jpg", caption="optional caption")
video = InlineVideo(path="path/to/video.mp4", caption="optional caption")
selftext = "Text with a gif {gif1} an image {image1} and a video {video1} inline"
media = {"gif1": gif, "image1": image, "video1": video}
subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
await subreddit.submit("title", inline_media=media, selftext=selftext)

Note

Inserted media will have a padding of \\n\\n automatically added. This is due to the weirdness with Reddit’s API. Using the example above the result selftext body will look like so:

Text with a gif

![gif](u1rchuphryq51 "optional caption")

an image

![img](srnr8tshryq51 "optional caption")

and video

![video](gmc7rvthryq51 "optional caption")

inline

Note

To submit a post to a subreddit with the "news" flair, you can get the flair id like this:

choices = [template async for template in subreddit.flair.link_templates.user_selectable()]
template_id = next(x for x in choices if x["flair_text"] == "news")["flair_template_id"]
await subreddit.submit("title", flair_id=template_id, url="https://www.news.com/")

Add an image submission to the subreddit.

Parameters:

collection_id – The UUID of a Collection to add the newly-submitted post to.
discussion_type – Set to "CHAT" to enable live discussion instead of traditional comments (default: None).
flair_id – The flair template to select (default: None).
flair_text – If the template’s flair_text_editable value is True, this value will set a custom text (default: None). flair_id is required when flair_text is provided.

Returns:

A Submission object for the newly created submission, unless without_websockets is True.

Raises:

ClientException if image_path refers to a file that is not an image.

Note

Reddit’s API uses WebSockets to respond with the link of the newly created post. If this fails, the method will raise WebSocketException. Occasionally, the Reddit post will still be created. More often, there is an error with the image file. If you frequently get exceptions but successfully created posts, try setting the timeout parameter to a value above 10.

To disable the use of WebSockets, set without_websockets=True. This will make the method return None, though the post will still be created. You may wish to do this if you are running your program in a restricted network environment, or using a proxy that doesn’t support WebSockets connections.

For example, to submit an image to r/test do:

title = "My favorite picture"
image = "/path/to/image.png"
subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
await subreddit.submit_image(title, image)

await subscribe(*, other_subreddits: List[asyncpraw.models.Subreddit] | None = None)

Subscribe to the subreddit.

Parameters:: other_subreddits – When provided, also subscribe to the provided list of subreddits.

For example, to subscribe to r/test:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
await subreddit.subscribe()

top(*, time_filter: str = 'all', **generator_kwargs: str | int | Dict[str, str]) → AsyncIterator[Any]

Return a ListingGenerator for top items.

Parameters:: time_filter – Can be one of: "all", "day", "hour", "month", "week", or "year "``(default: ``"all").
Raises:: ValueError if time_filter is invalid.

Additional keyword arguments are passed in the initialization of ListingGenerator.

This method can be used like:

reddit.domain("imgur.com").top(time_filter="week")

multireddit = await reddit.multireddit(redditor="samuraisam", name="programming")
multireddit.top(time_filter="day")

redditor = await reddit.redditor("spez")
redditor.top(time_filter="month")

redditor = await reddit.redditor("spez")
redditor.comments.top(time_filter="year")

redditor = await reddit.redditor("spez")
redditor.submissions.top(time_filter="all")

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("all")
subreddit.top(time_filter="hour")

await traffic() → Dict[str, List[List[int]]]

Return a dictionary of the Subreddit’s traffic statistics.

Raises:: asyncprawcore.NotFound when the traffic stats aren’t available to the authenticated user, that is, they are not public and the authenticated user is not a moderator of the subreddit.

The traffic method returns a dict with three keys. The keys are day, hour and month. Each key contains a list of lists with 3 or 4 values. The first value is a timestamp indicating the start of the category (start of the day for the day key, start of the hour for the hour key, etc.). The second, third, and fourth values indicate the unique pageviews, total pageviews, and subscribers, respectively.

Note

The hour key does not contain subscribers, and therefore each sub-list contains three values.

For example, to get the traffic stats for r/test:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
stats = await subreddit.traffic()

await unsubscribe(*, other_subreddits: List[asyncpraw.models.Subreddit] | None = None)

Unsubscribe from the subreddit.

Parameters:: other_subreddits – When provided, also unsubscribe from the provided list of subreddits.

To unsubscribe from r/test:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
await subreddit.unsubscribe()

widgets() → asyncpraw.models.SubredditWidgets

Provide an instance of SubredditWidgets.

Example usage

Get all sidebar widgets:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
async for widget in subreddit.widgets.sidebar:
    print(widget)

Get ID card widget:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
widget = await subreddit.widgets.id_card()
print(widget)

wiki() → asyncpraw.models.reddit.subreddit.SubredditWiki

Provide an instance of SubredditWiki.

This attribute can be used to discover all wikipages for a subreddit:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
async for wikipage in subreddit.wiki:
    print(wikipage)

To fetch the content for a given wikipage try:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
wikipage = await subreddit.wiki.get_page("proof")
print(wikipage.content_md)
