Using Praw I am trying to get the post linked to in the title of a Reddit submission. For example the submission links to this image. I have tried figuring out a way to extract this information from the Submission object in PRAW however even when browsing the source I have not been able to find this information. This seems like something that should be easy so I may be missing something.
Thank you very much for your help.
Hit the share button on a post or comment in the Reddit apps and select copy link to get the url.
PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper) is a Python module that provides a simple access to Reddit's API. PRAW is easy to use and follows all of Reddit's API rules.
Head to the specific subreddit you'd like to post to, then click the Create Post button. From here you can post three kinds of things: a Text post, an Image or video, or a Link.
import praw
user_agent = praw.Reddit("my_cool_user_agent")
link = "http://www.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/comments/" + \
"1adu71/apparently_people_still_need_to_hear_this/"
submission = user_agent.get_submission(link)
print submission.url
import praw
r = praw.Reddit(user_agent='Test Script')
submissions = r.get_subreddit('wtf').get_top(limit=10)
for item in submissions:
print item.url
