how do i get the discography with the api? i get a list with `/artist?inc=release-groups` but sometimes there is no way to check for an official album

so far i check for primary-type == 'Album

and secondary-type == []

how do i fetch discography with the api?

sometimes there is no way to identify official albums with /release-groups

jzeus: You might get better answers in #metabrainz

so I hadn't heard about this.. https://support.discogs.com/hc/en-us/articles/3...

tl;dr - discogs decided to have recordings and works

yup

darwin: yes it's new, and they used UUIDs like musicbrainz aswell :p

great minds think alike

they still do compete :p

darwin: you mean copy :p But eh, whatevs

If it leads to better data, that's fine

yeah I mean, when prior art exists and makes sense, and is not illegal to steal (or probably even unethical, as it's a data model and is not copyrighted (?) ) /shrug

I'm pretty sure we're happy to see people realizing we were right :p

Now They Just Have To Fix Their Capitalization

Good Luck With That

oh yeah, that always annoyed me with discogs in the past

even that article is "Overview Of The Tracks Feature" (despite being Overview-of-the-Tracks-Feature in the URL)
