  title: Discogs Database User Identity API
  version: v2.0.0
  description: '# Overview

    The Discogs API v2.0 is a RESTful interface to Discogs data, allowing developers to build applications for web, desktop, and mobile devices. Access JSON-formatted information about Database objects like Artists, Releases, and Labels, and manage User Collections, Wantlists, and Marketplace Listings.


    For detailed documentation, please visit the [Official Discogs API Documentation](https://www.discogs.com/developers).


    ## Authentication

    Most endpoints require authentication. The API supports multiple methods:

    1.  **Discogs Auth (Key & Secret):** For read-only access to public data with a higher rate limit.

    2.  **Discogs Auth (Personal Access Token):** For full access to your own user account data.

    3.  **OAuth 1.0a:** For building third-party applications that act on behalf of other Discogs users.


    Your application **must** provide a unique `User-Agent` string with every request.


    ## Rate Limiting

    Requests are throttled by source IP.

    - **Authenticated Requests:** 60 requests per minute.

    - **Unauthenticated Requests:** 25 requests per minute.


    The API returns the following headers to help you track your usage:

    - `X-Discogs-Ratelimit`: Total requests allowed in the window.

    - `X-Discogs-Ratelimit-Used`: Requests you have made.

    - `X-Discogs-Ratelimit-Remaining`: Requests remaining.


    ## Data Licensing

    Some Discogs data is available under the [CC0 No Rights Reserved](http://creativecommons.org/about/cc0) license, while some is restricted. Use of the API is subject to the [API Terms of Use](https://support.discogs.com/hc/articles/360009334593-API-Terms-of-Use).
