Re: [disqus-dev] This application cannot create posts on the chosen forum

Hi Edouard,

Sorry for the late response, somehow I didn't see your e-mail. That probably means your app is not associated with that forum. If you think this is a problem due to a bug on Disqus's side, feel free to open a support ticket at http://disqus.com/support/ so that it can be investigated(and tracked).

Hello,

I'm using the Disqus API to send comments from an Android application.

I use it for months on several websites and I never had a problem.

However with a new website, the POST/Create is not working and fails with this error :

{"code":12,"response":"This application cannot create posts on the chosen forum"}

My parameters are good :

api_secret : xxx

author_email = ma...@provider.com

author_name : me

message : hello

thread : 20014xxx

and the guest commenting is checked in the Disqus' settings.

Do you know where this error can came from ?

Thanks.

Hi, BYK.

You said: "your app is not associated with that forum."

How should I associate an app with a forum? How do I know if it is already?

I think that my app is already associated, as it is being used for SSO. Should I open a support ticket? 

[Burak Yiğit Kaya]

Would you mind sharing your public API key and forum id for me to check?

Best,

Hi Alan,

It indeed said "no forums" on the app details page but as you said the SSO connection was there. I tried something and it looks like it is associated with your forum now. Can you retry and let me know if it is working now?

Best,

[Alan Justino da Silva]

Nice!

Now it changed the error:

"9: You cannot specify an IP address using your public key", but I am using the secret key!... ok, I dont need this.

"12: You cannot set 'date' because you are not a moderator of this thread", I am not the moderator?? Tried with PUBLIC, SECRET and API keys.

[Alan Justino da Silva]

...but using the Web API Console, it worked. Now I am puzzled. Why the official lib (disqus-python) does not work?

# Python console:

>>> from disqusapi import DisqusAPI

>>> data = {'thread': u'2682906988', 'author_email': 'xxx...@yyyyy.com', 'author_name': 'Garcia Junior', 'state': 'approved', 'date': 1400681390.0, 'message': 'Quem?'}

>>> client = DisqusAPI(settings.DISQUS_SECRET_KEY, settings.DISQUS_PUBLIC_KEY)

>>> client.posts.create(api_secret=settings.DISQUS_SECRET_KEY, **data)

*** APIError: 12: You cannot set 'date' because you are not a moderator of this thread

Wondering if this is a Disqus or a disqus-python issue...

[Alan Justino da Silva]

Time to dig into the wire. Using a man-in-the-middle proxy I got this:

POST https://disqus.com/api/3.0/posts/create.json

    Host: disqus.com

    Accept-Encoding: identity

    Content-Length: 316

    User-Agent: disqus-python/unknown

    thread=2682906988&author_email=xxxxxx%40yyyyy.com&api_secret=MYBIGAPISECRETXXXXXXXXX&author_name=Garcia+Junior&state=approved&date=1400681390.0&message=Q+l%C3%B4co+heim%3F%3F&api_key=x9OMnUB62og1BqJ0aFhJJ7iImTRESa7LODrET6RKINSGFwj4VLTU7g5WpFZ1t743&ip_address=10.10.240.184

 << 400 BAD REQUEST 78B

Then, if I manually craft the body to have only api_secret and no api_key, Disqus accepted it!

thread=2682906988&author_email=xxxxxx%40yyyyy.com&api_secret=MYBIGAPISECRETXXXXXXXXX&author_name=Garcia+Junior&state=approved&date=1400681390.0&message=Q+l%C3%B4co+heim%3F%3F&ip_address=10.10.240.184

 << 200 OK 874B

So, if I provide both api_secret and api_key, Disqus will take priority on the public key over the private secret?? =/

Alright. Lets bake a patch to disqus-python...

Thanks again for all your help, BYK.

[Burak Yiğit Kaya]

I almost did nothing, you did all the hard work! :)

Thanks for sharing it here and looking forward to the patch.

Best,

[Alan Justino da Silva]

Pushed. I just inverted some warning, to notice that secret_key OR public_key should be provided, not both: https://github.com/disqus/disqus-python/pull/9

[votehip...@gmail.com]

How can I get DISQUS on one of my WP pages instead of just on a post? Is that possible?
