"What Are the Best Practices for Using the Discogs API?"
Hey folks! I’m diving into the discogs API for a side project and wanna make sure I’m not gonna hit a wall halfway through.
Any tips on rate limits? I heard they’re pretty strict, like 60 requests per minute. Should I just throttle my calls or is there a smarter way?
Also, caching—does anyone save responses locally to avoid hammering the API too much?
And uh… the docs feel a bit scattered. Any hidden gems or unofficial guides y’all found helpful?
Lastly, any gotchas I should watch out for? Like, weird data formats or endpoints that just don’t work as expected?
Thanks in advance! Just trying to avoid the usual headaches lol.
(PS: If you’ve built something cool with the discogs API, I’d love to hear about it!)
