Spotify Artist IDs
We've just implemented a new field in rokket! that allows you to submit Spotify artist URI's when uploading a new release. The Spotify artist URI makes sure that a track, EP or album will be linked to the correct Spotify artist profile on release day. However with the latest Spotify platform update, finding the Spotify Artist URI has gotten a little more tricky, which is why we've added a new feature to rokket! that makes it easier to find the correct URI for your artists.
rokket! will now give you Spotify URI suggestions based on the artist name you provided. Just click the little pencil icon next to the artist's name inside rokket! to edit the URI for any previously submitted artists, or just add the URI during the creation process of a new artist that has not yet been released on your label.
If you have a new artist that has never been released on Spotify before, please leave the URI field blank and check the box “Create a new Spotify artist profile”.
In case none of the suggestions we provided were correct - please manually search for the Spotify URI and add it to the Spotify URI field within rokket!.
Here are two ways to find the Spotify URI:.
You can find your Spotify artist URI under your Spotify artist profile by clicking the three dots next to the "Follow" button.
Option 1
Once you have this view, then hold down the ctrl or alt keyboard key and you will be able to copy the Spotify URI.
Then "Copy Spotify URI" will also appear.
Option 2
There's also the option that you can grab the Spotify URI from the URL.
First you need the number and letter combination between the /and ?.
Then you add spotify:artist: to the beginning.
The Spotify URI will be: spotify:artist:3CUpjyDJOe47QOWbh686FE
Note: Do not copy the URL.
