A little help #129

Closed VinylVault closed 4 months ago

Hi @brotherlogic

Found this on the go package repo, I am new to go, so please forgive what may be a stupid question ... but how can I add my discogs token in to this so I can use your library to build the API that will power the new website I will be creating?

also, not understanding the code properly, does the code gracefuly handle the insanely limiting discogs API Rate Limit? (429 error)

Do you mean your personal token, or the oauth token?

So you can use discogs.DiscogsWithAuth to create a generic client - and that will handle the oauth flow if you're going that route. Once you have a user, use the ForUser method to build out a client that'll act as that user. I think the personal token in there may work, I use it with oauth so I'm not sure I tested that.

For rate limiting, it'll just return PERMISSION_DENIED and I use that as signal to back off and retry later but I guess I could stick some of the extra header info (like the wait time) in there.

Happy to take feature requests - I'm using this in personal projects, so I haven't fully implemented everything.
