Discogs is a community-built music database and marketplace for physical music releases (vinyl, CD, cassette, and more). The Discogs API gives developers programmatic read/write access to artists, releases, masters, labels, search, user collections and wantlists, marketplace listings, orders, and inventory management — using Discogs Auth tokens, key+secret credentials, or full OAuth 1.0a on behalf of other users.
