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.

Some requests require authentification (as any user). According to Discogs, 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. This is token way example:

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
    })

  fmt.Println(release.Artists[0].Name, " - ", release.Title) 
  // St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review  -  Elephant Riddim
