Discogs scraper and API skills
Site: discogs.com
Discogs' public API covers catalog lookups, but live marketplace listings — seller offers, prices, shipping — are not part of it. This Discogs scraper skill drives a real, authenticated browser through the Browserless MCP instead.
Working with Discogs
- Marketplace listings load over a sticky US proxy for consistent geo-pricing.
- When only descriptive text is known (not a master or release ID), the skill resolves it through Discogs' own search rather than guessing.

Discogs scraping questions
- Does Discogs have an API?
- Partly. The Discogs API covers catalog data — releases, masters, artists — but not live marketplace listings, which is what this skill reads.
- Is scraping Discogs legal?
- Reading data that Discogs publishes publicly is generally treated as lawful in the US — hiQ v. LinkedIn found that scraping a public site does not by itself violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. That is not the whole question: Discogs's terms of service, its robots.txt, the rate at which you request pages, and any personal or copyrighted data you collect all carry their own obligations, and the rules differ outside the US. These skills read public pages at human-scale rates and never bypass a login. Treat this as background, not legal advice.
- What data can I extract from Discogs?
- Seller offers with price, media and sleeve condition, shipping origin and the resolved release identity.
