Rate limits are no joke with the discogs API—60/min is the hard cap, and they *will* ban you if you go over. I use a simple delay function in my code to space out requests.
For caching, absolutely save responses locally! I store everything in a SQLite db and only hit the API if the data’s stale or missing. Saves a ton of calls.

Built a vinyl tracker app with it. Works great once you get past the quirks!
