Last Updated :

In Reddit, a redditor is the term given to a user. Here we will see how to fetch the exact time when a redditor created their account. We will be using the created_utc attribute of the Redditor class to fetch the Unix time when the redditor created their account.
Example 1 : Consider the following redditor :
The user name of the redditor is : spez.
import praw
from datetime import datetime
client_id = ""
client_secret = ""
username = ""
password = ""
user_agent = ""
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id = client_id,
client_secret = client_secret,
username = username,
password = password,
user_agent = user_agent)
redditor_name = "spez"
redditor = reddit.redditor(redditor_name)
unix_time = redditor.created_utc
print("The " + redditor_name + " account was created on Unix time : " +
str(unix_time))
print("The " + redditor_name + " account was created on : " +
str(datetime.fromtimestamp(unix_time)))
|
Output :
The spez account was created on Unix time : 1118030400.0
The spez account was created on : 2005-06-06 09:30:00
Example 2 : Consider the following redditor :
The user name of the redditor is : AutoModerator
import praw
from datetime import datetime
client_id = ""
client_secret = ""
username = ""
password = ""
user_agent = ""
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id = client_id,
client_secret = client_secret,
username = username,
password = password,
user_agent = user_agent)
redditor_name = "AutoModerator"
redditor = reddit.redditor(redditor_name)
unix_time = redditor.created_utc
print("The " + redditor_name + " account was created on Unix time : " +
str(unix_time))
print("The " + redditor_name + " account was created on : " +
str(datetime.fromtimestamp(unix_time)))
|
Output :
The AutoModerator account was created on Unix time : 1325741068.0
The AutoModerator account was created on : 2012-01-05 10:54:28
