⚡ Discogs Client Bundle for Symfony – Complete Music Database Access

🚀 SYMFONY INTEGRATION! Seamless autowiring for the complete Discogs music database API. Zero bloat, maximum performance.

Symfony bundle that integrates the modern calliostro/php-discogs-api into your Symfony application. Built with modern PHP 8.1+ features, dependency injection, and powered by Guzzle.

📦 Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require calliostro/discogs-bundle

⚙️ Configuration

Configure the bundle in config/packages/calliostro_discogs.yaml:

calliostro_discogs:
    # Recommended: Personal Access Token (get from https://www.discogs.com/settings/developers)
    personal_access_token: '%env(DISCOGS_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN)%'
    
    # Alternative: Consumer credentials for OAuth applications
    # consumer_key: '%env(DISCOGS_CONSUMER_KEY)%'
    # consumer_secret: '%env(DISCOGS_CONSUMER_SECRET)%'
    
    # Optional: HTTP User-Agent header for API requests
    # user_agent: 'MyApp/1.0 +https://myapp.com'
    
    # Optional: Professional rate limiting (requires symfony/rate-limiter)
    # rate_limiter: discogs_api       # Your configured RateLimiterFactory service

Personal Access Token: You need to get your token from Discogs to access your account data and get higher rate limits. For read-only operations on public data, you can use anonymous access.

Consumer Credentials: For building applications that need OAuth authentication, register your app at Discogs to get your consumer key and secret.

User-Agent: By default, the client uses DiscogsClient/4.0.0 (+https://github.com/calliostro/php-discogs-api) as User-Agent. You can override this in the configuration if needed.

🚀 Quick Start

Basic Usage

<?php
// src/Controller/MusicController.php

namespace App\Controller;

use Calliostro\Discogs\DiscogsClient;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;

class MusicController
{
    public function artistInfo(string $id, DiscogsClient $client): JsonResponse
    {
        $artist = $client->getArtist(artistId: $id);
        $releases = $client->listArtistReleases(artistId: $id, perPage: 5);

        return new JsonResponse([
            'artist' => $artist['name'],
            'profile' => $artist['profile'] ?? null,
            'releases' => $releases['releases'],
        ]);
    }
}

Collection and Wantlist

// Requires Personal Access Token
$collection = $client->listCollectionItems(username: 'your-username', folderId: 0);
$wantlist = $client->getUserWantlist(username: 'your-username');

$client->addToCollection(
    username: 'your-username',
    folderId: 1,
    releaseId: 30359313 // Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever
);

$client->addToWantlist(username: 'your-username', releaseId: 28409710); // Taylor Swift - Midnights

Search and Discovery

$results = $client->search(
    q: 'Billie Eilish',
    type: 'artist'
);

$releases = $client->listArtistReleases(artistId: 4470662);  // Billie Eilish
$release = $client->getRelease(releaseId: 30359313);         // Happier Than Ever
$master = $client->getMaster(masterId: 2835729);             // Midnights master
$label = $client->getLabel(labelId: 12677);                  // Interscope Records

📋 Requirements

php ^8.1
symfony ^6.4 | ^7.0 | ^8.0
calliostro/php-discogs-api ^4.0

🔧 Service Integration

<?php
// src/Service/MusicService.php

namespace App\Service;

use Calliostro\Discogs\DiscogsClient;

class MusicService
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly DiscogsClient $client
    ) {
    }

    public function getArtistWithReleases(int $artistId): array
    {
        $artist = $this->client->getArtist(artistId: $artistId);
        $releases = $this->client->listArtistReleases(
            artistId: $artistId,
            perPage: 10
        );

        return [
            'artist' => $artist,
            'releases' => $releases['releases'],
        ];
    }

    public function addToMyCollection(int $releaseId): void
    {
        // Requires Personal Access Token
        $this->client->addToCollection(
            username: 'your-username', // Replace with actual username
            folderId: 1, // "Uncategorized" folder
            releaseId: $releaseId
        );
    }
}

⚡ Rate Limiting (Optional)

For high-volume applications, use the powerful symfony/rate-limiter component:

composer require symfony/rate-limiter

1. Configure Rate Limiter

# config/packages/rate_limiter.yaml
rate_limiter:
    discogs_api:
        policy: 'sliding_window'
        limit: 25  # Safe for both anonymous and authenticated access
        interval: '1 minute'

2. Configure Bundle

# config/packages/calliostro_discogs.yaml
calliostro_discogs:
    personal_access_token: '%env(DISCOGS_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN)%'
    rate_limiter: discogs_api

Choose your rate limit based on your authentication:

Anonymous access: Use 25/min (as shown above)
Authenticated only: Change limit to 60 for maximum performance

The bundle uses a Guzzle middleware that automatically handles rate limiting by:

Intercepting outgoing requests before they're sent
Checking rate limit availability using Symfony's RateLimiter
Automatically waiting when limits are exceeded (using microsecond precision)
Retrying requests after the appropriate delay

This seamless integration ensures your application never exceeds API limits without requiring any code changes. Higher rates may result in HTTP 429 responses if rate limiting is not configured.
