DiscourseApi

The Discourse API gem allows you to consume the Discourse API

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'discourse_api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install discourse_api

Usage

Over time this project intends to have a full Discourse API. At the moment there are only a few endpoints available:

client = DiscourseApi::Client.new("http://try.discourse.org")
client.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
client.api_username = "YOUR_USERNAME"

client.ssl(...)                                 #=> specify SSL connection settings if needed

# Topic endpoints
client.latest_topics                            #=> Gets a list of the latest topics

client.new_topics                               #=> Gets a list of new topics
client.topics_by("sam")                         #=> Gets a list of topics created by user "sam"
