You could always use jQuery for the AJAX calls as almost everything on Disqus is now get.

First you would have to get the thread id from using (http://disqus.com/api/docs/threads/list/):

http://disqus.com/api/3.0/threads/list.json?api_key=API_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE&forum=[shortforumid]&thread=link:[link]

The most important part is for the thread= to have link:[link] as the link: says we are using a URL.

After you get the thread id, you will have to visit (http://disqus.com/api/docs/posts/list/):

http://disqus.com/api/3.0/posts/list.json?api_key=API_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE&thread=[thread id]

Just as a reminder, you do not need to put in the brackets...
