To upvote a post on Reddit using the Python Reddit API Wrapper (PRAW), you first need to authenticate with your Reddit account. Once you've done that, you can use the submission.upvote()
method. Here's a simple example:
import praw
reddit = praw.Reddit(
client_id="my_client_id",
client_secret="my_client_secret",
user_agent="my_user_agent",
username="my_username",
password="my_password"
)
# Assuming you're going to upvote a post with a specific id
post_id = '5op7mo'
submission = reddit.submission(id=post_id)
submission.upvote()
In this code:
'my_client_id'
, 'my_client_secret'
, 'my_user_agent'
, 'my_username'
, and 'my_password'
with your actual Reddit app credentials and your Reddit account's username and password.'5op7mo'
with the id of the post you want to upvote.Please note that you need to create a Reddit 'app' from your Reddit account to get the
client_id
andclient_secret
. You can do this from the following URL: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
Also, remember to respect Reddit's rules and guidelines when upvoting posts. Excessive or inappropriate upvoting could lead to your account being banned.
