Collect music releases, albums, artists and labels from Discogs — the largest database of physical music ever pressed — with years, countries, formats, genres and how many collectors own each one.
How to use it
- Put your search terms into Search terms, one per line — an artist, an album, a label.
- Choose what to return: individual pressings, one entry per album, artists, or labels.
- Optionally narrow it with the filters — genre, style, year, country, format, label, artist.
- Run the Actor.
You can also leave the search terms empty and use filters alone, to sweep something like every Jazz release from 1975.
What you get
For every result:
- Title, year and country of release
- Record labels and the catalogue number
- Format — vinyl, CD, cassette, and whether it is a reissue or compilation
- Genres and the narrower styles
- How many collectors own it, and how many want it — Discogs' own demand signal, and the most useful number here
- Barcodes, the master release it belongs to, and a direct link
What you can do with it
- Find records that are wanted far more than they are owned — the scarcity signal collectors and dealers trade on
- Map a label's entire catalogue and how it was pressed
- Track which pressings of an album exist across countries and years
- Research a genre or era systematically rather than album by album
- Build a reference dataset for a record shop or collection
Good to know
Discogs limits callers without an account to 25 requests a minute, so the Actor paces itself to stay inside that. Large runs simply take longer rather than failing.
Adding a Discogs token from your account settings roughly doubles the speed and is the only way to get cover images — Discogs withholds artwork from anonymous callers, so that field comes through empty without one.
"Releases" gives every separate pressing, so a popular album appears many times. Choose "Masters" when you want one row per album instead.
