disc_setup

Client for the Discourse API. Discourse is a open source
discussion forum platform (<https://www.discourse.org/>). It comes with 'RESTful'
API access to an installation. This client requires that you are authorized
to access a Discourse installation, either yours or another.

disc_setup function

You can set your url, username, and api key either using R options or
environment variables. I recommend using environment variables since
they are more general to any programming language, and you can easily
set secure env vars on a server or e.g., if you're doing continuous
integration on Travis-CI (or elsewhere).

How to setup

The base URL for the Discourse instance, e.g., <code>https://meta.discourse.org</code>
Use:<ul>
<li>Env var name: <code>DISCOURSE_URL</code></li>
<li>R option name: <code>discourse_url</code></li>
</ul>

The user name you have registered on the Discourse instance you want
to use.
Use:<ul>
<li>Env var name: <code>DISCOURSE_USERNAME</code></li>
<li>R option name: <code>discourse_username</code></li>
</ul>

Username

The API key on the Discourse instance you want to use. This is not your
password you used to login to the instance. If you're the admin, you can get
an API key by going the dashboard at <code>base_url/admin</code>, then the API tab
<code>base_url/admin/api</code>, then generate a key, or copy the one already there.
Use:<ul>
<li>Env var name: <code>DISCOURSE_API_KEY</code></li>
<li>R option name: <code>discourse_api_key</code></li>
</ul>
