    <p>Since the Disqus embed is a javascript embed, the comments won't be available in the page source unless the site renders them there. If you're scraping the page and letting the javascript render, then the first page (up to 50 comments) are available within the Disqus iFrame within the "postCompatContainer" DIV.</p> <p>However, I'd instead suggest using the Disqus API to accomplish this. There's two main parts to this:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Get the thread information from the article</strong></li> </ol> <p>Specifically in the page source you have to find the variables 'disqus_shortname' and 'disqus_identifier' or 'disqus_url'. If 'disqus_identifier' or 'disqus_url' aren't available, then you can try using the window location address, but this is less reliable.</p> <ol> <li><strong>Make the API call with that data.</strong></li> </ol> <p>Specifically you'll want to use our <a href="http://disqus.com/api/docs/threads/listPosts/" rel="nofollow">threads/listPosts</a> endpoint passing the 'disqus_shortname' as the 'forum' and the identifier or url as 'thread=ident:' or 'thread=link:', respectively.</p> <p>I won't go into the specifics of using the API here, but we have a good starter tutorial here: <a href="http://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1131783-tutorial-get-comment-counts-with-the-api" rel="nofollow">http://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1131783-tutorial-get-comment-counts-with-the-api</a></p> <p>and more examples here: <a href="https://github.com/disqus/DISQUS-API-Recipes" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/disqus/DISQUS-API-Recipes</a></p>

    1. COHi Ryan, Thank you very much for the reply. I am very new to this API. Can we use DisqusSharp for this purpose? If possible please provide a small sample code in c#. So I can begin my code with it.

    2. CODisqusSharp looks unsupported, and it uses our old API anyways. This is a C# sample that works in Windows Phone, so you might need to modify it a little bit: https://gist.github.com/ryanvalentin/5767814

    3. COHi Ryan, Thank you very much for the sample code. I can start my code with this. I have developed a Windows Form application for extracting news articles as well as comments. It is necessary for me to extract comments from several websites in addition to CNN. When obtaining the API key what should I give for “Website”(Your application's website) information in the application form? Do I have to get separate keys for all sites which I am accessing?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
