What is the Python PRAW library?
PRAW stands for "Python Reddit API Wrapper." It's a Python library that provides a simple interface for accessing and interacting with the Reddit API. PRAW is designed to make it easy to create Reddit bots, automate tasks, and analyze data on the platform. PRAW allows you to authenticate with Reddit, access subreddit and user data, and perform actions like upvoting, downvoting, commenting, messaging, and more. The library handles the details of making HTTP requests and parsing JSON responses, so you can focus on building the functionality of your bot.
PRAW is an open-source library and is actively maintained by a community of developers. It's compatible with Python 3.x and can be installed using pip. PRAW also has extensive documentation and a number of helpful examples to get you started. Overall, PRAW is a powerful and versatile library for working with the Reddit API in Python and is a popular choice for building Reddit bots and applications.
If you are interested in using the Reddit API, generally, you can check out my blog post and CZcams video on how to use the Reddit API without PRAW. See the links in RELATED CONTENT above. In that post and video, we use the Reddit API without PRAW.
What are Reddit bots?
Reddit bots are becoming increasingly popular as more and more people seek to automate their interactions with the platform. Whether you want to monitor conversations, promote your content, or simply engage with other users on the platform, creating a Reddit bot can be a powerful tool. In this video, we'll walk through the steps of building a Python Reddit bot that can respond to comments in a subreddit. With just a few lines of code and the Python Reddit API Wrapper (PRAW), we can create a bot that monitors specific subreddits, detects certain keywords or phrases, and responds to comments with a customized message.
Reddit bots are programs that can perform automated tasks on the Reddit platform. These bots can be created by anyone with programming skills and can be designed to perform a wide range of functions, such as monitoring subreddits, responding to comments, posting content, and analyzing data. Reddit bots can be built using a variety of programming languages, including Python, JavaScript, Ruby, and others. They can interact with the Reddit API to access data and perform actions, such as upvoting, downvoting, commenting, and messaging other users.
Some Reddit bots are designed to perform helpful tasks, such as providing users with useful information, tracking trends, or moderating content. Other bots, however, can be used for more nefarious purposes, such as spamming or manipulating votes. It's important to note that not all bots on Reddit are created equal, and some may violate Reddit's rules and guidelines. It's always a good idea to check the rules and guidelines before creating a bot and to test it thoroughly before releasing it into the wild.
How to create a Reddit bot with Python and PRAW
Before we get into the code, you will need to create a Reddit app. You need to be a Reddit user with a username and login. Go to / apps and log in to your Reddit account when you're prompted. Then, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the button to create an app. You will need to enter the app name (use whatever you like but note that you can't use the word Reddit in your app name)

How to get urls of videos And download it?
Hello, is there a way to get comments from multiple posts at the same time?
Hi yeah you should be able to get Copilot or ChatGPT to tweak the python to do that without any trouble. East change just adjust the API call, it's just a lil code.
Currently trying to learn Python whatâs the best route to go down? Iâm thinking ML but I suck at Math lol
Automate weird things. Anything youâd do with a mouse.
