Artist store profile links

When you distribute through ONCE, you can provide artist page links so partners can map your release to an existing profile instead of creating a duplicate. ONCE accepts links or raw IDs for Apple Music, Spotify, SoundCloud, and Meta (Facebook).

Not supported for artist profile linking: Tidal and other stores are not in this mapping flow—use the supported platforms below when you need an ID match.

You can paste a full URL or the ID/handle alone. The chat agent and release flow store the values with your metadata for review and distribution.

Apple Music

What to provide: the numeric Apple Music artist ID (usually at least five digits), or a URL that contains it.

Example URL

https://music.apple.com/us/artist/taylor-swift/159260351

Example ID (same artist)

159260351

Paths like /artist/<name>/<id> are common; the ID is the numeric segment at the end.

Spotify

What to provide: the Spotify artist ID (22-character string), a Spotify artist URL, or a spotify:artist: URI.

Example URL

https://open.spotify.com/artist/06HL4z0CvFAxG27V6Y9AhM

Example URI

spotify:artist:06HL4z0CvFAxG27V6Y9AhM

Example ID (same artist)

06HL4z0CvFAxG27V6Y9AhM

SoundCloud

What to provide: your SoundCloud profile slug (the path segment after soundcloud.com/), or the full profile URL.

Example URL

https://soundcloud.com/monstercat

Example ID / handle

monstercat

Meta (Facebook)

What to provide: your Facebook Page or profile numeric ID, or a Facebook URL that includes it. Meta artist mapping uses Facebook identifiers (not Instagram handles).

Vanity URLs alone may not yield a numeric ID; when you need a stable ID for distribution, use the numeric ID from your Page or profile.

Example URL (numeric profile)

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=20531316728

Example ID

20531316728

Example URL (Page path form)

https://www.facebook.com/pg/20531316728
