Contributions welcome. Got a store you want scraped? Raise an issue or better yet, implement it yourself and open a PR.

If you're finding diig useful and want to help keep it running, sponsorship helps cover developer fees and hosting costs.

Scrapers

Scrapers run nightly to pull releases from record stores. Each store needs a schema defining its structure and a parser to extract release data from HTML.

Running Locally

pip install google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2
cd scrape
python3 dig.py -urls -store juno -verbose -local-only

Results are written to local registry files only — no Firebase credentials needed. Run python3 dig.py -help for full options.

Schemas

Release Schema

{
    "id": "store-specific release id",
    "link": "url to release page",
    "artist": "artist name",
    "title": "release title",
    "label": "label name",
    "label_link": "url to label page",
    "cat": "catalogue number",
    "artworks": ["small", "medium", "large"],
    "track_names": ["track 1", "track 2"],
    "track_urls": ["url to mp3 snippet", "..."],
    "store": "store name",
    "store_tags": {
        "out_of_stock": false,
        "preorder": false
    }
}

Store Schema

{
    "sections": ["techno", "house", "electro"],
    "section_display_names": ["Techno", "House", "Electro"],
    "views": {
        "weekly_chart": {
            "url": "https://store.com/${{section}}/charts/weekly",
            "page_count": 1
        },

Discogs

Discogs links are fetched or attempted to be fetched for all releases. This algrithm is work in progress and it is tricky to find the exact match in some cases. You can add items directly to you Discogs wantlist from in the app. In time deeper integration with discogs will be implemented.
