Steps
Choose an auth mode: Discogs Auth (key/secret or personal token) or full OAuth 1.0a for acting on behalf of a user
For Discogs Auth, send credentials either as key/secret or token query parameters, or as an Authorization header (e.g. 'Authorization: Discogs token=...')
Call GET https://api.discogs.com/database/search?q={query} with the required q parameter to search releases, masters, artists, and labels
Note that the search response's community section includes want/have counts for releases and master releases
Add authentication for any endpoint beyond basic search - collection, marketplace, and image data require an authenticated token
Known gotchas
Basic /database/search calls can work without authentication, but many other endpoints (collection, wantlist, images) require a token even for read-only access
Requests must be made over HTTPS whenever credentials are included, since Discogs Auth sends key/secret or token directly in the request
