This app was created while working at the record store Landfil Rescue Unit. On the outer plastic sleeve of a record the owner would make a sticker with information from the music database Discogs about the record for buyers to see. They would manually enter all of the fields into a spreadsheet (artist name, album name, format type, year and country of release) and then print it out as a sticker. This looked very tedious!
This app uses the requests library to access the Discogs API. It puts the information into a pandas dataframe, and returns the information in a .csv file. All of this done though a Tkinter gui
Dockerization in progress and will update here soon!

- Click the ‘Run Generator button
- This makes a call to the Discogs API for the requested information about the selected releases.
- Click the Open
- his adds the newly called information a .csv file as well as deletes the txt file.
