## Common Questions

Do I need a Discogs account or OAuth credentials?

No. Anysite handles the upstream side — you authenticate once with your Anysite access token. No Discogs account, no OAuth registration, no consumer key management.

What’s the difference between a release and a master?

A master is the canonical entry for a recording — Kind of Blue as a work. A release is one specific pressing of it: the 1959 US Columbia LP, the 1997 remaster, the 2008 CD edition. The masters endpoint returns the canonical record; the releases endpoint goes down to tracklist, formats, and identifiers for one pressing.

How current is the marketplace pricing?

The marketplace stats endpoint reads the live Discogs marketplace at request time — the for-sale count and lowest listed price reflect the moment you call, not a cached snapshot.
