SubredditRules¶

class asyncpraw.models.reddit.rules.SubredditRules(subreddit: Subreddit)¶

Provide a set of functions to access a Subreddit’s rules.

For example, to list all the rules for a subreddit:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("AskReddit")
async for rule in subreddit.rules:
    print(rule)

Moderators can also add rules to the subreddit. For example, to make a rule called "No spam" in the subreddit "NAME":

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("NAME")
await subreddit.rules.mod.add(
    short_name="No spam",
    kind="all",
    description="Do not spam. Spam bad"
)

await __call__() → List[asyncpraw.models.reddit.rules.Rule]¶

Return a list of Rules (Deprecated).

Returns: A list of instances of Rule.

Deprecated since version 7.1: Use the iterator by removing the call to SubredditRules. For example, in order to use the iterator:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
async for rule in subreddit.rules:
    print(rule)

__init__(subreddit: Subreddit)¶

Create a SubredditRules instance.

Parameters: subreddit – The subreddit whose rules to work with.

await get_rule(short_name: Union[str, int, slice]) → asyncpraw.models.reddit.rules.Rule¶

Return the Rule for the subreddit with short_name short_name.

Parameters: short_name – The short_name of the rule, or the rule number.

This method is to be used to fetch a specific rule, like so:

rule_name = "No spam"
subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("NAME")
rule = await subreddit.rules.get_rule(rule_name)
print(rule)

You can also fetch a numbered rule of a subreddit.

Rule numbers start at 0, so the first rule is at index 0, and the second rule is at index 1, and so on.

Raises: IndexError if a rule of a specific number does not exist.

Note

You can use negative indexes, such as -1, to get the last rule. You can also use slices, to get a subset of rules, such as the last three rules with get_rule(slice(-3, None)).

For example, to fetch the second rule of AskReddit:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("NAME")
rule = await subreddit.rules.get_rule(1)

mod¶

Contain methods to moderate subreddit rules as a whole.

To add rule "No spam" to the subreddit "NAME" try:

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("NAME")
await subreddit.rules.mod.add(
    short_name="No spam",
    kind="all",
    description="Do not spam. Spam bad"
)

To move the fourth rule to the first position, and then to move the prior first rule to where the third rule originally was in the subreddit "NAME":

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("NAME")
rules = [rule async for rule in subreddit.rules]
new_rules = rules[3:4] + rules[1:3] + rules[0:1] + rules[4:]
# Alternate: [rules[3]] + rules[1:3] + [rules[0]] + rules[4:]
new_rule_list = await subreddit.rules.mod.reorder(new_rules)
