LiveUpdate

class praw.models.LiveUpdate(reddit, thread_id=None, update_id=None, _data=None)

An individual LiveUpdate object.

Warning

At this time, accessing lazy attributes on this class may raises AttributeError: if an update is instantiated through LiveThread.updates(), the exception is not thrown. For example:

thread = reddit.live('xyu8kmjvfrww')
for update in thread.updates(limit=None):
    if update.id == 'cb5fe532-dbee-11e6-9a91-0e6d74fabcc4':
        print(update.stricken)  # True
        break

But the update is instantiated through thread[update_id] or LiveUpdate(reddit, update_id), AttributeError is thrown:

thread = reddit.live('xyu8kmjvfrww')
update = thread['cb5fe532-dbee-11e6-9a91-0e6d74fabcc4']
update.stricken  # raise AttributeError

__init__(reddit, thread_id=None, update_id=None, _data=None)
