It’s been a little over a month since we launched our second partner, Boing Boing. Boing Boing has a long history of experimenting with comment and discussion systems. The Web Archives has images of Boing Boing going all the way back to 1998, where I found: eGroups (1998 – 2001, [egroups.com/list/boingboing](http://egroups.com/list/boingboing)) QuickTopic (2001 – 2003,…

Is there a public explanation for how you push the liked comments from the meta topic back to the permalink page at Boing Boing?

Essentially it is the WordPress plugin:
[https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse)
Which talks to our API. No, we don’t have a documented public API yet, but remember that Discourse is a JavaScript application – not a traditional HTML website – so all its communication with the server is pretty much by definition an API.

Thanks! That makes sense, I’ll use that plugin as a starting point for something non-wordpress.

I guess this is a feature request, but a PHP library to talk to a Discourse would be very popular and encourage other interrogations. Not that my coding is good enough to do this of course, but a guy can wish out loud occasionally 😉

Use the API! It’s really easy to create posts, users, heck… anything you need with just HTTP requests! Watch the `production.log` file and do some actions, and it will record some of the stuff that’s done. You can also run `rake routes` and see all the routes for manipulating content.
