Disqussion currently covers only stable Disqus API features for: applications, categories, exports, forums, imports, posts, reactions, reports, threads and users.

Missing following features: blacklists and whitelists.

The error classes are consistent with Disqus documented response codes. Error details from Disqus API are encapsulated in HTTP response.

Response Code	Error
400	Disqussion::BadRequest
401	Disqussion::Unauthorized
403	Disqussion::Forbidden
404	Disqussion::NotFound
500	Disqussion::InternalServerError

Here are a few reasons use (and improve) this gem:

• Full Ruby 1.9 compatibility: All code and specs now work in the latest version of Ruby
• Support for HTTP proxies
• Support for multiple HTTP adapters: NetHttp (default), em-net-http (async), Typhoeus, Patron, or ActionDispatch
• SSL: On by default for increased speed and security

Help! I'm getting: "Did not recognize your engine specification. Please specify either a symbol or a class. (RuntimeError)"

If you're using the JSON request format (i.e., the default), you'll need to explicitly require a JSON library. We recommend yajl-ruby.

Usage Examples

# Certain methods require authentication. To get your Disqus credentials,
# register an app at http://disqus.com/api/applications/
Disqussion.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = YOUR_API_KEY
  config.api_secret = YOUR_API_SECRET
end

# Get an application's usage details
puts Disqussion::Client.applications.listUsage("the88")
