Discogs Api

This library is a PHP 7.3 / PHP 8.x implementation of the Discogs API v2.0. The Discogs API is a REST-based interface. By using this library you don't have to worry about communicating with the API: all the hard work has already be done.

Fork

In meantime @calliostro wake up, I need this package to work
Edit: @calliostro has updated, but I decided to stay on my own package while I pulled improvments into my current package

Symfony Bundle by Calliostro

For the integration of Discogs into Symfony 5+, see calliostro/discogs-bundle.

Installation

Start by installing composer. Next do:

$ composer require w3spi5/php-discogs-api

Requirements

PHP 7.3 or PHP 8.x

Usage

Creating a new instance is as simple as:

<?php

$client = Wespify\Discogs\ClientFactory::factory([]);

User-Agent

Discogs requires that you supply a User-Agent. You can do this easily:

<?php

$client = Wespify\Discogs\ClientFactory::factory([    
    'headers' => ['User-Agent' => 'your-app-name/0.1 +https://www.awesomesite.com'],
]);

Throttling

Discogs doesn't like it when you hit their API at a too high connection rate. Use the ThrottleSubscriber to prevent getting errors or banned:

<?php

$handler = \GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack::create();
$throttle = new Wespify\Discogs\Subscriber\ThrottleSubscriber();
$handler->push(\GuzzleHttp\Middleware::retry($throttle->decider(), $throttle->delay()));

$client = Wespify\Discogs\ClientFactory::factory(['handler'=>$handler]);

Authentication

Discogs API allow to access protected endpoints with either a simple Discogs Auth Flow or a more advanced (and more complex) Oauth Flow

Discogs Auth

As stated in the Discogs Authentication documentation:

In order to access protected endpoints, you’ll need to register for either a consumer key and secret or user token, depending on your situation:

• To easily access your own user account information, use a User token.
• To get access to an endpoint that requires authentication and build 3rd party apps, use a Consumer Key and Secret.

Use Authorization header:

$client = ClientFactory::factory([
    'headers' => [
        'Authorization' => "Discogs key=key_here, secret=secret_here",
    ],
]);

Authenticate with personal access token (you can get it from https://www.discogs.com/settings/developers):

$client = ClientFactory::factory([
    'headers' => [
        'User-Agent' => $user_agent,
        'Authorization' => "Discogs token={$access_token}",
    ]
]);

OAuth

There are a lot of endpoints which require OAuth. Lucky for you using Guzzle this is peanuts. If you're having trouble obtaining the token and token_secret, please check out ricbra/php-discogs-api-example.

<?php

$oauth = new GuzzleHttp\Subscriber\Oauth\Oauth1([
    'consumer_key'    => $consumerKey, // from Discogs developer page
    'consumer_secret' => $consumerSecret, // from Discogs developer page
    'token'           => $token['oauth_token'], // get this using a OAuth library
    'token_secret'    => $token['oauth_token_secret'] // get this using a OAuth library
]);
$handler = GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack::create();
$handler->push($oauth);
$client = Wespify\Discogs\ClientFactory::factory([
    'handler' => $handler,
    'auth' => 'oauth'
]);

History

Another cool plugin is the History plugin:

<?php

$container = [];
$history = GuzzleHttp\Middleware::History($container);
$handler = GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack::create();
$handler->push($history);
$client = Wespify\Discogs\ClientFactory::factory([ 
    'handler' => $handler
]);

$response = $client->search([
    'q' => 'searchstring'
]);

foreach ($container as $row) {
    print $row['request'] -> getMethod(); // GET
    print $row['request'] -> getRequestTarget(); // /database/search?q=searchstring
    print strval($row['request'] -> getUri()); // https://api.discogs.com/database/search?q=searchstring
    print $row['response'] -> getStatusCode(); // 200
    print $row['response'] -> getReasonPhrase(); // OK
}

More info and plugins

For more information about Guzzle and its plugins checkout the docs.

Perform a search:

Per august 2014 a signed OAuth request is required for this endpoint.

<?php

$response = $client->search([
    'q' => 'Meagashira'
]);
// Loop through results
foreach ($response['results'] as $result) {
    var_dump($result['title']);
}
// Pagination data
var_dump($response['pagination']);

// Dump all data
var_dump($response->toArray());

Get information about a label:

<?php

$label = $client->getLabel([
    'id' => 1
]);

Get information about an artist:

<?php

$artist = $client->getArtist([
    'id' => 1
]);

Get information about a release:

<?php

$release = $client->getRelease([
    'id' => 1
]);

echo $release['title']."\n";

Get information about a master release:

<?php

$master  = $client->getMaster([
    'id' => 1
]);

echo $master['title']."\n";

Get image

Discogs returns the full url to images so just use the internal client to get those:

$release = $client->getRelease([
    'id' => 1
]);
foreach ($release['images'] as $image) {
    $response = $client->getHttpClient()->get($image['uri']);
    // response code
    echo $response->getStatusCode();
    // image blob itself
    echo $client->getHttpClient()->get($image['uri'])->getBody()->getContents();
}

User lists

Get user lists

<?php

$userLists = $client->getUserLists([
    'username' => 'example',
    'page' => 1, #default
    'per_page' => 500 #min 1, max 500, default 50
]);

Get user list items

<?php

$listItems = $client->getLists([
    'list_id' => 1
]);

Get user wantlist

<?php

$wantlist = $client->getWantlist([
    'username' => 'example',
    'page' => 1, #default
    'per_page' => 500 #min 1, max 500, default 50
]);

User Collection

Authorization is required when folder_id is not 0.

Get collection folders

<?php

$folders = $client->getCollectionFolders([
    'username' => 'example'
]);

Get collection folder

<?php

$folder = $client->getCollectionFolder([
    'username' => 'example',
    'folder_id' => 1
]);

Get collection items by folder

<?php

$items = $client->getCollectionItemsByFolder([
    'username' => 'example',
    'folder_id' => 3
]);

Listings

Creating and manipulating listings requires you to be authenticated as the seller

Create a Listing

<?php

$response = $client->createListing([
    'release_id' => '1',
    'condition' => 'Good (G)',
    'price' => 3.49,
    'status' => 'For Sale'
]);

Change Listing

<?php

$response = $client->changeListing([
    'listing_id' => '123',
    'condition' => 'Good (G)',
    'price' => 3.49,
]);

Delete a Listing

<?php

$response = $client->deleteListing(['listing_id' => '123']);

Create Listings in bulk (via CSV)

<?php
$response = $client->addInventory(['upload' => fopen('path/to/file.csv', 'r')]);

// CSV format (example): 
// release_id,condition,price
// 1,Mint (M),19.99
// 2,Near Mint (NM or M-),14.99

Delete Listings in bulk (via CSV)

<?php
$response = $client->deleteInventory(['upload' => fopen('path/to/file.csv', 'r')]);

// CSV format (example): 
// listing_id
// 123
// 213
// 321

Thanks to

Initial development by ricbra/php-discogs-api.

Porting to PHP 7 and adding more Discos API methods by AnssiAhola/php-discogs-api.
And the implication of Calliostro/php-discogs-api.

This API is build upon the shoulders of Guzzle 7.
