possible to get subscription information for subreddits/users of Reddit?

4.5k views Asked by At

I would like to see either a list of subscribers for a given subreddit or a list of subreddits to which an individual user subscribes to. Is either of these bits of information available? In the PRAW docs I see my_reddits() but that seems to mean you can only retrieve the subscription list for yourself as a logged in user.

I also see this in the Reddit API docs: https://www.reddit.com/dev/api#GET_subreddits_mine_subscriber This also seems to assume you're looking at your own/logged-in account?

Sorry to post but I have not been able to find this in the Reddit API docs or the PRAW docs. I'd appreciate any relevant links or advice.

You have to have the account information (username/password) in order to see this information. The Reddit API does not provide a way to access this information otherwise. I had a friend who worked on a project that used this type of information and he needed to get passwords from users.
