# Discogs artist ID (`discogs_artist_id`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Numeric identifier of an artist (a person, group or alias) in Discogs, the database and marketplace of music recordings, as in discogs.com/artist/<id>. Artists, labels, masters and releases are numbered separately, so the same number can name entities of different kinds, and the field name matters.
