discogs2xlsx 0.4.0

Exports your Discogs collection or wantlist into a xlsx file.

discogs2xlsx

Export your Discogs collection or wantlist into a xlsx file.

Synopsis

This tool will try to export your collection or wantlist from Discogs into a .xlsx file.

The time required to perform the export will depend on the size of your collection, or wantlist. Discogs requests to the API are throttled to 60 per minute for authenticated requests, for that reason for large collections, or wantlists, the export can take hours to perform.

For price recommendations (--prices option) the Discogs Seller Settings are required.
