CommunityList¶

class praw.models.CommunityList(reddit, _data)¶

Class to represent a Related Communities widget.

Find an existing one:

community_list = None
widgets = reddit.subreddit('redditdev').widgets
for widget in widgets.sidebar:
    if isinstance(widget, praw.models.CommunityList):
        community_list = widget
        break

print(community_list)

Create one (requires proper moderator permissions):

widgets = reddit.subreddit('redditdev').widgets
styles = {'backgroundColor': '#FFFF66', 'headerColor': '#3333EE'}
subreddits = ['learnpython', reddit.subreddit('announcements')]
community_list = widgets.mod.add_community_list('Related subreddits',
                                                subreddits, styles)

For more information on creation, see add_community_list().

Update one (requires proper moderator permissions):

new_styles = {'backgroundColor': '#FFFFFF', 'headerColor': '#FF9900'}
community_list = community_list.mod.update(shortName='My fav subs',
                                           styles=new_styles)

Delete one (requires proper moderator permissions):

community_list.mod.delete()
