- Updates2
An Obsidian plugin that imports Discogs metadata for an artist, album, master, or release and, overall, OTHER informations (credits, label, companies, musicians, technicians, engineer,etc.)
Features
- Imports public Discogs URLs such as
https://www.discogs.com/release/123456. - Supports artist, release, and master resources.
- Fetches metadata through the Discogs API.
- Creates notes using an album-oriented Markdown template.
- Includes cover artwork, frontmatter, general information, track lists, companies, credits, and notes.
- Stores the primary artist profile as
artist_urland links the artist name to that Discogs profile. - Fetches the primary artist profile and renders it in a
## artistsection, including Discogs links and basic emphasis. - Creates Markdown links to Discogs artists, labels, genres, styles, and countries when URLs are available.
- Stores the release information in readable sections instead of a raw JSON block.
- Creates missing output folders automatically.
- Updates an existing note when the generated filename already exists.
Requirements
- Obsidian 1.4.0 or later.
- Node.js and npm for development builds.
- A Discogs personal token may be required when anonymous API requests are rate-limited or rejected.
Development
Install dependencies and build the plugin:
npm install
npm run build
The build runs TypeScript type checking and produces main.js and main.js.map.
Run the unit tests:
npm test
The tests are located in tests/ and use an injected HTTP client, so they do not depend on a live Discogs request.
Installation in a Vault
- Build the project with
npm run build. - Copy the plugin folder into the vault's
.obsidian/plugins/directory. - Enable Media Meta Manager in Obsidian's community plugins settings.
- Reload Obsidian if the plugin does not appear immediately.
Usage
Open the command palette.
Run Import a Discogs URL.
Paste a Discogs URL, for example:
https://www.discogs.com/release/3940534-Matt-Molloy-Matt-MolloyConfirm the import.
By default, generated notes are stored in the Discogs folder. The output folder and optional Discogs token can be changed in the plugin settings.
Project Structure
main.ts: Obsidian lifecycle, command registration, modal, and settings UI.src/discogs.ts: Discogs URL parsing and API client logic.src/markdown.ts: Pure Markdown rendering logic based on the album template.src/vault.ts: Obsidian vault folder and note persistence.tests/: Unit tests for URL parsing, API requests, and Markdown rendering.
Current Limitations
- Discogs search URLs and user profile pages are not supported.
- Importing a note with the same generated filename replaces its contents.
- Artist resources are imported as data, but the current note layout is optimized for album and release metadata.
