Menu

class praw.models.Menu(reddit, _data)

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("redditdev").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 (requires proper moderator permissions):

widgets = reddit.subreddit("redditdev").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(menu_contents)

For more information on creation, see add_menu().

Update one (requires proper moderator permissions):

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

Delete one (requires proper moderator permissions):

menu.mod.delete()
