Let's start with installing the API:
pip install disqus-python
Use the API by instantiating it, and then calling the method through dotted notation chaining:
from disqusapi import DisqusAPI
disqus = DisqusAPI(secret_key)
for result in disqus.trends.listThreads():
print result
Parameters (including the ability to override version, api_secret, and format) are passed as keyword arguments to the resource call:
disqus.posts.details(post=1, version='3.0')
Paginating through endpoints is easy as well:
from disqusapi import Paginator
paginator = Paginator(api.trends.listThreads, forum='disqus')
for result in paginator:
print result
# pull in a maximum of 500 results (this limit param differs from the endpoint's limit param)
for result in paginator(limit=500):
print result
Documentation on all methods, as well as general API usage can be found at http://disqus.com/api/
