asyncpraw 7.7.1

Async PRAW, an abbreviation for “Asynchronous Python Reddit API Wrapper”, is a Python
package that allows for simple access to Reddit’s API. Async PRAW aims to be easy to use
and internally follows all of Reddit’s API rules. With Async PRAW there’s no need to
introduce sleep calls in your code. Give your client an appropriate user agent and
you’re set.

Installation
Async PRAW is supported on Python 3.7+. The recommended way to install Async PRAW is via
pip.
pip install asyncpraw
To install the latest development version of Async PRAW run the following instead:
pip install --upgrade https://github.com/praw-dev/asyncpraw/archive/master.zip
For instructions on installing Python and pip see “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python”
Installation Guides.

Quickstart
Assuming you already have a credentials for a script-type OAuth application you can
instantiate an instance of Async PRAW like so:
import asyncpraw

reddit = asyncpraw.Reddit(
client_id="CLIENT_ID",
client_secret="CLIENT_SECRET",
password="PASSWORD",
user_agent="USERAGENT",
username="USERNAME",
)
With the reddit instance you can then interact with Reddit:
# Create a submission to r/test
subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
await subreddit.submit("Test Submission", url="https://reddit.com")

# Comment on a known submission
submission = await reddit.submission(
url="https://www.reddit.com/comments/5e1az9", fetch=False
)
await submission.reply("Super rad!")

# Reply to the first comment of a weekly top thread of a moderated community
subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("mod")
async for submission in subreddit.top(time_filter="week"):
comments = await submission.comments()
await comments[0].reply("An automated reply")

# Output score for the first 256 items on the frontpage
async for submission in reddit.front.hot(limit=256):
print(submission.score)

# Obtain the moderator listing for r/test
subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("test")
async for moderator in subreddit.moderator:
print(moderator)
Please see Async PRAW’s documentation for more
examples of what you can do with Async PRAW.
