This library is a PHP 5.4 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.
This API is build upon the shoulders of a giant: Guzzle 4.0. This is an absolutely awesome library.
This library is released under the MIT license. See the complete license in the LICENSE file.
Start by installing composer. Next do:
$ composer require ricbra/php-discogs-api
PHP >=5.4.0
Creating a new instance is as simple as:
<?php
$client = Discogs\ClientFactory::factory([]);Discogs requires that you supply a User-Agent. You can do this easily:
<?php
$client = Discogs\ClientFactory::factory([
'defaults' => [
'headers' => ['User-Agent' => 'your-app-name/0.1 +https://www.awesomesite.com'],
]
]);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
$client = Discogs\ClientFactory::factory();
$client->getHttpClient()->getEmitter()->attach(new Discogs\Subscriber\ThrottleSubscriber());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.
<?php
$client = Discogs\ClientFactory::factory([]);
$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
]);
$client->getHttpClient()->getEmitter()->attach($oauth);
$response = $client->search([
'q' => 'searchstring'
]);Another cool plugin is the History plugin:
<?php
$client = Discogs\ClientFactory::factory([]);
$history = new GuzzleHttp\Subscriber\History();
$client->getHttpClient()->getEmitter()->attach($history);
$response = $client->search([
'q' => 'searchstring'
]);
foreach ($history as $row) {
print (string) $row['request'];
print (string) $row['response'];
}For more information about Guzzle and its plugins checkout the docs.
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());<?php
$label = $service->getLabel([
'id' => 1
]);<?php
$artist = $service->getArtist([
'id' => 1
]);<?php
$release = $service->getRelease([
'id' => 1
]);
echo $release['title']."\n";<?php
$master = $service->getMaster([
'id' => 1
]);
echo $master['title']."\n";Further documentation can be found at the Discogs API v2.0 Documentation.
