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:
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.
With the Discogs Php API you can add your credentials to each request by adding a query key to your own defaults like this:
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 my example implementation.
