Descrizione

As mentioned in https://github.com/umputun/remark42/issues/958#issuecomment-828707386 Disqus has the API to retrieve avatars. Adding this to the import process will be very nice.

A few challenges:

  • probably the API calls should be rate-limited and may need retries
  • imported avatars should be proxied, i.e. stored and served locally

We already support avatar proxy as a part of auth, but this is an external library. Not sure if we can make the avatar proxy part available in go-pkgz/auth or just copy the relevant part into remark42

Direzione di ricerca
Examine the existing Disqus import code in the repository, likely under the 'backend/app/imports' directory. Review the avatar proxy implementation in go pkgz/auth to understand how it works. Determine if the avatar proxy can be reused or needs to be copied into remark42. Implement rate limited API calls to fetch avatars from Disqus with retries. Ensure imported avatars are stored locally and served via the proxy.
