Menu

class praw.models.Menu(reddit: praw.Reddit, _data: Dict[str, Any])

Class to represent the top menu widget of a Subreddit.

Menus can generally be found as the first item in a Subreddit’s top bar.

topbar = reddit.subreddit("test").widgets.topbar
if len(topbar) > 0:
    probably_menu = topbar[0]
    assert isinstance(probably_menu, praw.models.Menu)
    for item in probably_menu:
        if isinstance(item, praw.models.Submenu):
            print(item.text)
            for child in item:
                print("\t", child.text, child.url)
        else:  # MenuLink
            print(item.text, item.url)

Create one:

widgets = reddit.subreddit("test").widgets
menu_contents = [
    {"text": "My homepage", "url": "https://example.com"},
    {
        "text": "Python packages",
        "children": [
            {"text": "PRAW", "url": "https://praw.readthedocs.io/"},
            {"text": "requests", "url": "http://python-requests.org"},
        ],
    },
    {"text": "Reddit homepage", "url": "https://reddit.com"},
]
menu = widgets.mod.add_menu(data=menu_contents)

For more information on creation, see add_menu().

Update one:

menu_items = list(menu)
menu_items.reverse()
menu = menu.mod.update(data=menu_items)

Delete one:

menu.mod.delete()

Typical Attributes

Note

This table describes attributes that typically belong to objects of this class. PRAW dynamically provides the attributes that Reddit returns via the API. Since those attributes are subject to change on Reddit’s end, PRAW makes no effort to document any new/removed/changed attributes, other than to instruct you on how to discover what is available. As a result, this table of attributes may not be complete. See Determine Available Attributes of an Object for detailed information.

If you would like to add an attribute to this table, feel free to open a pull request.
