Discogs.Dump

Why

Discogs API is limited to 60 requests per minute. You can not search a lot of tracks fast. Discogs search behaves strange sometimes. Building your own search index is a good alternative. Dicsogs provides monthly backups. Releases info takes about 6.4 GB only.

What can I do with this library

You can use DumpFetcher class to retrieve the latest release and artist backups. You can parse releases online from network file stream without downloading. If you use the same backup more then once I recommend to download it and parse the data from a local file.

Quick start

using var dumpFetcher = new DumpFetcher();
var stream = dumpFetcher.GetLatestReleasesDumpStream();
await foreach (var release in stream)
{
    Console.WriteLine(release.Title);
}
