Disqus Server Client - Core

Core client that helps your server to connect to the Disqus API.

Features

The Disqus API - although not very documented - is very easy to implement. This implementation has a view advantages:

• Implemented using TypeScript, so we have types and you have auto-complete
• Uses Axios which gives use Promises, so you can use async and await
• Uses Node Cache to cache some endpoints, so your performance is better.

API

Let's show some code.

New up a client:

// Node.js
const { DisqusCode } = require("disqus-server-client-core")
 
// Or TypeScript:
import { DisqusCore } from 'disqus-server-client-core'
 
const config = {
    accessToken: "...",
    apiKey:      "...",
    apiSecret:   "..."
}
 
const disqus = new DisqusCore(config)

Getting the posts:

const r = await disqus.request("posts/list", { forum: "keestalkstech" })
const posts = r.response.map(post => ({
    msg: post.msg,
    by: post.author.name || post.author.username,
    thread: post.thread
}))
 
console.log(posts);

Getting the details of a thread:

const id = "...";
const r = await disqus.request("threads/details", { thread: id })
const thread = {
    title: r.response.title,
    url: r.response.link,
};
 
console.log(title);
