This simple application monitors a Disqus forum (website) and sends a notification to a Discord channel when a new comment is made in said forum. Can be easily deployed to Heroku.
To configure the application, either edit config.js or set the following environment variables:
DISCORDUS_DISQUS_API_KEY=[your api key]
DISCORDUS_DISQUS_API_SECRET=[your api secret]
DISCORDUS_DISQUS_ACCESS_TOKEN=[your access token]
DISCORDUS_DISQUS_FORUM=[your forum's shortname]
DISCORDUS_DISCORD_WEBHOOK=[your incoming webhook's url]
It's possible to check for comments on multiple forums simultaneously. To do so,
enter their shortnames as a comma seperated list, for example cats,stuff.
It's possible to post to multiple Discord webhooks simultaneously. To do so enter their webhook URLS as a comma seperated list.
Your Disqus API key, secret and access token can be found by creating an application on https://disqus.com/api/applications/.
Your Disqus forum's shortname can be found on the settings page for your site (https://disqus.com/admin/, select your site under Settings).
Finally, you can set up an Incoming WebHook for Discord. Read more at https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks.
Optional environment variables:
DISCORDUS_INTERVAL=60 # Seconds between each check (60 by default)
DISCORDUS_DISQUS_LIMIT=25 # Number of comments to check (25 by default, max 100)
The server will every X seconds (DISCORDUS_INTERVAL) request the X most recent
comments (DISCORDUS_DISQUS_LIMIT) to check for new ones. If your forum may
receive more than 25 new comments in a 60 second window, tweak those two
variables to your liking.
Some more configuration options for Disqus and Discord are available in config.js.
