Add disqus support

[jayvdb]

Lots of people have claimed a disqus username which is otherwise used by a developer, because developers often do not use disqus.

Since disqus doesn't work well with requests,
support for disqus is closed until the solution is found.

Still needed. Can be labeled stale, and help-wanted, etc, to bring in new contributors with new ideas on how to solve complex problems.

ok, labeling stale makes sense

Hello Sirs,

tl;dr : NEED HELP sending POST requests to Disqus API

I have been interested in this project for some time.
I looked into the Disqus API Documentation and couldn't find anything useful.

What I found to be noteworthy is:

• We need to send a POST request to their API with an API key.

Now, Sirs, I'm new to this domain, and I really want to contribute something to this project as it seems interesting. Can anyone please guide me on how to proceed, as I am finding it hard to understand how to do the same mentioned above? That would be really valuable to me.

Thanks. :)

Hello @abhishekmadhu.
The problem was that disqus refuses requests from requests
you can simply know that with the code below:

import requests
import username_api

res = requests.get(username_api.get_profile_url('disqus', 'username that exists'))
res.text # it will return error page

So I tried to modify user-agent as one of the support browsers but didn't work.

By the way, thank you for your attention to our project :)
