Quick answer

What is an API music delivery system?

An API music delivery system lets software send music releases for distribution through an application programming interface instead of manual uploads. A client sends release data, audio and artwork links as JSON to a REST API; the system validates it, converts it to DDEX ERN or a store's own API format, delivers it to each platform and reports progress through status endpoints and webhooks. Plans Global Solutions provides this API, including white-label versions on a client's own domain.

Why use an API instead of manual uploads?

An API lets your own app, CMS or label system distribute releases automatically. It removes copy-paste errors, scales to thousands of releases and keeps every system in sync through webhooks.

API in, DDEX out

You send simple JSON. Our system builds the correct DDEX ERN message for each store, or uses the store's own API, so you never handle XML or store-specific rules.

Status you can build on

Every change — validated, queued, uploading, acknowledged, live, taken down — is available from a status endpoint and pushed to your webhook with a signature you can verify.

Combine with n8n

Our API works with n8n and other automation tools, so delivery can be triggered from a form, a spreadsheet or your CRM.
