Usage
---------
The discogs package provides a client for accessing the Discogs API.
First of all import library and init client variable. According to discogs api documentation you [must provide your user-agent](https://www.discogs.com/developers/#page:home,header:home-general-information).
```go
import "github.com/irlndts/go-discogs"
```
Some requests require authentification (as any user). According to [Discogs](https://www.discogs.com/developers/#page:authentication,header:authentication-discogs-auth-flow), to send requests with Discogs Auth, you have two options: sending your credentials in the query string with key and secret parameters or a [token parameter](https://www.discogs.com/settings/developers).
This is token way example:
```go
client, err := discogs.NewClient(&discogs.Options{
UserAgent: "Some Name",
Currency: "EUR", // optional, "USD" (default), "GBP", "EUR", "CAD", "AUD", "JPY", "CHF", "MXN", "BRL", "NZD", "SEK", "ZAR" are allowed
Token: "Some Token", // optional
})
```
#### Releases
```go
release, _ := client.Database.Release(9893847)
fmt.Println(release.Artists[0].Name, " - ", release.Title)
// St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review - Elephant Riddim
```
#### Search
Issue a search query to discogs database. This endpoint accepts pagination parameters.
Authentication (as any user) is required.
Use `SearchRequest` struct to create a request.
```go
type SearchRequest struct {
Q string // search query (optional)
Type string // one of release, master, artist, label (optional)
Title string // search by combined “Artist Name - Release Title” title field (optional)
ReleaseTitle string // search release titles (optional)
Credit string // search release credits (optional)
Artist string // search artist names (optional)
Anv string // search artist ANV (optional)
Label string // search label names (optional)

Track string // search track titles (optional)
Submitter string // search submitter username (optional)
Contributer string // search contributor usernames (optional)
Page int // optional
PerPage int // optional
}
```
Example
```go
request := discogs.SearchRequest{Artist: "reggaenauts", ReleaseTitle: "river rock", Page: 0, PerPage: 1}
search, _ := client.Search(request)
for _, r := range search.Results {
fmt.Println(r.Title)
}
