AllTrack Unveils Performing Rights API Tools for Creator-Centric Platforms
TIDAL becomes the first platform to integrate as part of their new Songwriter Tools.
AllTrack, the digital-era performing rights organization (PRO) built to serve the independent sector, has launched a suite of APIs that are now available to creator-centric platforms such as streaming services, UGC platforms, distributors, and publishing administrators.
The benefits of the APIs include direct single-click PRO registration capabilities for unaffiliated creators from within a partner’s platform; authentication of songwriter profiles and account details; access to detailed song-level metadata; the ability to display songwriter credits to end users; immediate clearance of performing rights; and many more. The APIs can be used individually or as a suite of tools based on the specific needs of each platform.
“These tools were built to enable platforms to enrich their feature sets and deepen their relationships with their creators,” explains AllTrack Founder and CEO Hayden Bower. “If platforms can provide enhanced services that help their creators earn more, everyone wins. Creators benefit from being able to easily claim their performing rights royalties, while platforms benefit from increased creator retention and satisfaction.”
TIDAL recently implemented AllTrack’s APIs in a first-of-its-kind integration between a streaming service and a PRO. By offering direct PRO registration capabilities, TIDAL has unlocked the ability for unaffiliated creators to manage their works catalogs. TIDAL has also enabled creators to authenticate their AllTrack profiles through TIDAL Artist Home, which seamlessly populates their TIDAL Artist Home accounts with essential metadata.
“At TIDAL, we’re focused on creating new ways for artists and songwriters to grow their careers on their own terms,” says Agustina Sacerdote, Global Head of Product at TIDAL. “In AllTrack, we found a partner with the right technology to enable songwriters to quickly and easily manage the registration of their works. TIDAL and AllTrack both ultimately believe that independent artists and contributors shouldn't struggle to get paid the royalties they have earned."
These proprietary API tools underscore AllTrack’s mission to be an innovation-based PRO that develops and offers transformative technology to the music rights ecosystem. To learn more or inquire about these tools, please visit www.alltrack.com/partner-with-alltrack.
