All I want to do, is take the CSV file I have of barcodes, and them to my collection. It's like kicking dead whales down a beach.
I've not used the API, but, from a general database perspective, you'd likely hit the problem of narrowing search results per barcode down to exactly one result.
You're likely to get multiple results for a barcode, since they tend to get allocated per 'work' per format, and many discogs database entries can cover the same format release of the work, each with the same barcode.
You'd also be reliant on the barcode actually having been entered against the release (and entered fully enough to get a match).
Hard to see it being a process you could effectively automate.
Thanks for the replies. I think the CSV file bit will be a piece of cake, it's authenticating that's proving impossible.
Honestly, I've used Postman successfully at work with two other APIs and got it working. Perhaps I'll try again later, if I haven't slit my wrists.
