Getting Started

To begin with, you'll need to head over to Akismet and join the developer program to obtain an API key.

Note: In order to run the included tests, this key should be set as AKISMET_KEY in your environment.

Usage

// Initialize client
let akismet_client = AkismetClient::new(
    String::from("https://exampleblog.com"), // The URL for your blog
    akismet_key, // Your Akismet API key
    reqwest::Client::new(), // Reqwest client to use for requests
    AkismetOptions::default(), // AkismetOptions config
);

// Verify key
akismet_client.verify_key().await?;

// Create a comment
let comment = Comment::new(akismet_client.blog.as_ref(), "8.8.8.8")
    .comment_author("exampleUser1")
    .comment_author_email("example-user@example.com")
    .comment_content("example comment content");

// Check comment for spam
let is_spam = akismet_client.check_comment(comment).await?;

Testing

In order to run the included tests, you will need to ensure that you have your API key set as AKISMET_KEY in your environment.
