It handles HTTP communication via requests and supports OAuth 1.0a authentication through oauthlib, letting you authenticate as a Discogs user to access protected operations like modifying collections and wantlists.\n\nThe package provides object-oriented access to Discogs entities\u2014you instantiate a Client, then call methods like search(), artist(), release(), or master() to fetch data and navigate relationships. It abstracts away direct REST calls and pagination, making it simpler to write Python scripts that interact with Discogs. However, the package has been abandoned since 2020-06-01 and is no longer maintained, so it will not receive updates if the Discogs API evolves or if compatibility issues arise with newer Python or dependency versions.","worth_installing":"No\u2014do not install. The package is abandoned and unmaintained since 2020-06-01. While it has low install friction and a permissive license, the lack of active maintenance means no security updates, no compatibility fixes, and no support if the Discogs API changes. For new projects, use a generic REST client directly with the Discogs API documentation."},"id":"discogs-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/discogs-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/discogs-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/discogs-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-06-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"discogs-client","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Official Python API client for Discogs"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":75069,"position":14754,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.3.0"}
