Your application must provide a User-Agent string that identifies itself

Trying this but getting Refused to set unsafe header "user-agent".

Seems to be the issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7210507/ajax-post-error-refused-to-set-unsafe-header-connection

Therefore seems that we need to build, and host a proxy to make the requests.

That was also required to hide the application key and scret that we have rn in clear in the repo.

Ah, did not know about that. So you can only set User-Agent when the request is made on a server (proxy)? If so, let's make a new issue to create a proxy.

https://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/737881#7320150 says it's impossible via client-side. We need server-side proxy.

Fixed by adding the proxy #21
