Package: disqust
Disqus API client.TheDisqus APIis super-simple; you
don’t need their approved client, which is broken and lacks
documentation of its arcane intended usage.You probably don’t even need this library. Just creating a`requests.Session<http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#session-objects>`__
object and settingsession.params = {'api_key':'...'}would get you
pretty far. In fact, that is practically all that happens when using
this library’sdisqust.Client(api_key='...')constructor.But there are a couple of handy features this library provides:Automatic error raising and JSON parsing, viaclient.json()Iterating over successive pages, viaclient.iter_results()Storing a (fixed-length queue of) responses, which enables theclient.rate_limit_remaininghelper and other debugging niceties.InstallWith`pip<https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/>`__:pip install -U disqustWith`setuptools<https://github.com/pypa/setuptools>`__:easy_install -U disqustIn either case, use-U/--upgradeto upgrade to the latest
version in case you’ve already installed an older one.ExampleWe’ll use the standard public API key that Disqus uses for its embedded
integrations all over the web:export DISQUS_API_KEY=E8Uh5l5fHZ6gD8U3KycjAIAk46f68Zw7C6eW8WSjZvCLXebZ7p0r1yrYDrLilk2F(I don’t know if this is legit or condoned or reliable, but you can grab
that key from any XHR request on any webpage that embeds Disqus
comments.)Then, start a Python REPL and configure theclientinstance:import os
import disqust
client = disqust.Client(api_key=os.environ['DISQUS_API_KEY'])Show channel details (lots of fields manually elided from response):client.json('channels/details', channel='discussdisqus')

apparently there’s nochannels/listThreadsendpoint like there isforums/listThreads, nor achannel=xyzparameter for thethreads/listendpoint, but we can use the forum parameter like so:threads = list(client.iter_results('threads/list', forum='channel-discussdisqus', limit=100))
