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.

Prerequisites

Python, version 3.9 or above, needs to be installed on your local computer. You will also need a Discogs account.

Discogs

A Discogs user account is required (to obtain the ratings from). You can create an account at https://www.discogs.com/users/create if you do not have one already.

A Discogs personal token is also required. You can obtain one at https://www.discogs.com/settings/developers

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