Dis.cuss.it API Test Harness
A little while ago I mentioned work was under way to produce a test harness for our API. Today I’d like to unveil the harness, hop along to http://developer.dis.cuss.it to see it in action. The harness is designed to show and document the methods exposed by our API.
The API uses oAuth for authentication so before you get stuck into writing lines of code get yourself an application key from here.
The Dis.cuss.it Engine widget and Dis.cuss.it Live Moderator were written using our API. We’d love to see what you can build so get in touch with your ideas or creations.

It’s been a while since our last post so I thought I’d share our latest workings. The majority of our time has been spent working on the Dis.cuss.it API, this will make customizing widgets and moderating comments a breeze.
API
oAuth equipped and rich in features, our API has had an overhawl. It’s a step closer to being publicly released. We’ve written a few test applications using the API and I’m pleased with it’s speed and ease of use.
API Test Harness
To go alongside the API we have been working on a test harness that provides documentation and enables you to test the API from within the browser.
