Disqus API create post, parameter issue: thread id gets posted instead of message

I am trying to create a post via Disqus API.

I was trying this via Python requests, but I got confused so I went to the API console and observed that the parameters get mixed up.

Here's how I have posted the parameters on the console page:

POST method, the endpoint is set to Posts > create

The other params I send are api_secret and access_token.

The comment appears in the thread but strangely, the message field and the thread get mixed up. The thread id appears in the comment:

What is wrong here? Does the order in which the params are attached matter?

EDIT: Tried again without the quote signs in the message value field, thread id appears in the comment, as above.

Solution

  • I think I have spotted it. It looks like a bug.

    The thread id gets copied and sent as message, too.
