Once I had built the HTML interface for my RecordCollection I realized that many of the records were missing information or had incorrect information. So I turned to Discogs.com and used their API to use the information I had in my database to get the information that was missing. After I had populated all the information in my database that I could get programmatically I decided to build an API for my own database, mostly just for something to do.

This is just a JSON interface to the same data that the HTML interface accesses, except it allows more detailed searches. I thought about setting up an Oauth2 server for authentication, but decided it wasn't worth the time, so it uses token authentication provided by Laravel's auth. 

The documentation on how to use the API is here.
