client = DiscourseApi::Client.new("http://try.discourse.org")
client.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
client.api_username = "YOUR_USERNAME"

client.ssl(...)                                 #=> specify SSL connection settings if needed

# Topic endpoints
client.latest_topics                            #=> Gets a list of the latest topics
