Usage

For example we want to get from API info for some thread We want section "thread", sub-section "details". And we provide "thread:link" (can use "thread:ident" or "thread") It will return json. More info here: http://disqus.com/api/docs/threads/details/

// Disqus::get($section, $method, $params=array()
$thread = Disqus::get('threads', 'details', array('thread:link' => 'http://thread_url'));

Sending data to Disqus

Disqus::post('posts', 'create', array('message' => 'Yo! Nice thread!', 'thread' => 12));

Some shorthand functions

$comment_count = Disqus::commentsCount('http://thread_url'); // returns integer of comments count for given url
