reddit.inbox

class asyncpraw.models.Inbox(reddit: asyncpraw.Reddit, _data: Optional[Dict[str, Any]])

Inbox is a Listing class that represents the inbox.

__init__(reddit: asyncpraw.Reddit, _data: Optional[Dict[str, Any]])

Initialize a AsyncPRAWBase instance.

Parameters: reddit – An instance of Reddit.

all(**generator_kwargs: Union[str, int, Dict[str, str]]) → AsyncIterator[Union[asyncpraw.models.Message, asyncpraw.models.Comment]]

Return a ListingGenerator for all inbox comments and messages.

Additional keyword arguments are passed in the initialization of ListingGenerator.

To output the type and ID of all items available via this listing do:

async for item in reddit.inbox.all(limit=None):
    print(repr(item))

await collapse(items: List[asyncpraw.models.Message])

Mark an inbox message as collapsed.

Parameters: items – A list containing instances of Message.

Requests are batched at 25 items (reddit limit).

For example, to collapse all unread Messages, try:

from asyncpraw.models import Message

unread_messages = []
async for item in reddit.inbox.unread(limit=None):
    if isinstance(item, Message):
        unread_messages.append(item)
await reddit.inbox.collapse(unread_messages)

Message.uncollapse()

comment_replies(**generator_kwargs: Union[str, int, Dict[str, str]]) → AsyncIterator[asyncpraw.models.Comment]

Return a ListingGenerator for comment replies.

Additional keyword arguments are passed in the initialization of ListingGenerator.

To output the author of one request worth of comment replies try:

async for reply in reddit.inbox.comment_replies():
    print(reply.author)

await mark_all_read()

Mark all messages as read with just one API call.

Example usage:

await reddit.inbox.mark_all_read()

Requests are batched at 25 items (Reddit limit).

For example, to mark the first 10 items as unread try:

to_unread = [msg async for msg in reddit.inbox.all(limit=10)]
await reddit.inbox.mark_unread(to_unread)

async for message in reddit.inbox.messages(limit=5):
    print(message.subject)

classmethod parse(data: Dict[str, Any], reddit: asyncpraw.Reddit) → Any

Return an instance of cls from data.

Parameters

data – The structured data.
