Distributor lookup API FAQ

How do I find the distributor for a song by API?

Use the Musicfetch URL lookup endpoint with a supported track URL and include withDistributor=true so distributor evidence is returned when available.

Is distributor the same as label?

Not always. A label may own or market a recording, while a distributor delivers it to services. Some platform metadata exposes label-like copyright text rather than a clean distributor field.

Does every track return distributor data?

No. Distributor data depends on available service metadata and may be missing for some releases, older catalog, user uploads, or regional records.

Need distributor lookup by API?

Use Musicfetch URL lookup with distributor options to return distributor evidence when supported metadata is available.
